Human-sea relations are important factors in past and present human
evolution. Discussions about these relations have ranged from
shellfish gathering at beaches to the elaboration of technological,
social and cognitive systems for marine foraging. The role of the
marine environment is now seen as a primary factor in the
understanding of social complexity. Archaeological data and methods
are uniquely placed to produce interesting perspectives about human
adaptations to the sea through global and local dimensions,
geological, archaeological and ethnographic timescales, and
empirical studies of cultural practice.This volume brings together
an international collection of papers in which human-sea relations
are analyzed through various temporal and spatial scales. The
themes covered include initial developments and further elaboration
of marine foraging, technological and logistical implications of
travelling by sea, interrelations between social and cognitive
systems, settlement patterns and subsistence of marine
hunter-gatherers, landscape archaeology and palaeogeographic models
and the role of marine resources in human-sea relations.This volume
will be of interest to students, archaeologists and researchers
from related disciplines.
The first volume presents new archaeological and ecological data
and analyses on the relation between human subsistence and
survival, and the natural history of North-Western Europe
throughout the period 10000 - 6000 BC. The volume contains
contributions from ecological oriented archaeologists and from the
natural sciences, throwing new light on the physical and
biotic/ecological conditions of relevance to the earliest
settlement. Main themes are human subsistence, subsistence
technology, ecology and food availability pertaining to the first
humans, and demographic patterns among humans linked to the
accessibility of different landscapes.
