Book Synopsis The Archaeology of North Pacific Fisheries by : Madonna L. Moss
Download or read book The Archaeology of North Pacific Fisheries written by Madonna L. Moss and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years, fisheries were crucial to the sustenance of the First Peoples of the Pacific Coast. Yet human impact has left us with a woefully incomplete understanding of their histories prior to the industrial era. Covering Alaska, British Columbia, and Puget Sound, The Archaeology of North Pacific Fisheries illustrates how the archaeological record reveals new information about ancient ways of life and the histories of key species. Individual chapters cover salmon, as well as a number of lesser-known species abundant in archaeological sites, including pacific cod, herring, rockfish, eulachon, and hake. In turn, this ecological history informs suggestions for sustainable fishing in today’s rapidly changing environment.
Book Synopsis Hidden Dimensions by : Kathryn Bernick
Download or read book Hidden Dimensions written by Kathryn Bernick and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hidden Dimensions is a collection of essays drawn from papers presented at an international conference in Vancouver, British Columbia in April 1995. Scholars from around the globe examine several aspects of wetland archaeology in North America, Mexico, Europe, eastern Siberia, and New Zealand. Some of the essays in this volume explore environmental and historical contexts of wet-sites as well as past human adaptation to wetland environments. Others concentrate on the contributions of wetland archaeology to reconstructions of cultural history and the interpretation of unique perishable materials. In addition to discussions on the dynamic nature of wetlands and concern about the future of the cultural resources they contain, the authors look at practical issues of land management and object conservation. In Hidden Dimensions the authors seek to raise awareness of the significance of wetland archaeology issues at a time when wetlands around the globe are rapidly shrinking and their cultural contents are at risk of disappearing.

Book Synopsis The Archaeology and Historical Ecology of Late Holocene San Miguel Island by : Torben C. Rick
Download or read book The Archaeology and Historical Ecology of Late Holocene San Miguel Island written by Torben C. Rick and published by Cotsen Institute of Archaeology Press. This book was released on 2007-12-31 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California's northern Channel Islands have one of the longest and best-preserved archaeological records in the Americas, spanning some 13,000 calendar years. When European explorers first travelled to the area, these islands were inhabited by the Chumash, some of the most populous and culturally complex hunter-gatherers known. Chumash society was characterised by hereditary leaders, sophisticated exchange networks and interaction spheres, and diverse maritime economies. Focusing on the archaeology of five sites dated to the last 3,000 years, this book examines the archaeology and historical ecology of San Miguel Island, the westernmost and most isolated of the northern Channel Islands. Detailed faunal, artefact, and other data are woven together in a diachronic analysis that investigates the interplay of social and ecological developments on this unique island. The first to focus solely on San Miguel Island archaeology, this book examines issues ranging from coastal adaptations to emergent cultural complexity to historical ecology and human impacts on ancient environments.
Download or read book Troubled Times written by David W. Frayer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence amassed in Troubled Times indicates that, much like in the modern world, violence was not an uncommon aspect of prehistoric dispute resolution. From the civilizations of the American Southwest to the Mesolithic of Central Europe, the contributors examine violence in hunter-gatherer as well as state societies from both the New and Old Worlds. Drawing upon cross-cultural analyses, archaeological data, and skeletal remains, this collection of papers offers evidence of domestic violence, homicide, warfare, cannibalism, and ritualized combat among ancient peoples. Beyond the physical evidence, various models and explanations for violence in the past are explored.

Book Synopsis Northwest Coast by : Madonna L. Moss
Download or read book Northwest Coast written by Madonna L. Moss and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2011-10-03 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the SAA Press Current Perspectives Series, this concise overview of the archeology of the Northwest Coast of North America challenges stereotypes about complex hunter-gatherers. Madonna Moss argues that these ancient societies were first and foremost fishers and food producers and merit study outside socio-evolutionary frameworks. Moss approaches the archaeological record on its own terms, recognizing that changes through time often reflect sampling and visibility of the record itself. The book synthesizes current research and is accessible to students and professionals alike.

Book Synopsis Herring and People of the North Pacific by : Thomas F. Thornton
Download or read book Herring and People of the North Pacific written by Thomas F. Thornton and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2021-01-31 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herring are vital to the productivity and health of marine systems, and socio-ecologically Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) is one of the most important fish species in the Northern Hemisphere. Human dependence on herring has evolved for millennia through interactions with key spawning areas—but humans have also significantly impacted the species’ distribution and abundance. Combining ethnological, historical, archaeological, and political perspectives with comparative reference to other North Pacific cultures, Herring and People of the North Pacific traces fishery development in Southeast Alaska from precontact Indigenous relationships with herring to postcontact focus on herring products. Revealing new findings about current herring stocks as well as the fish’s significance to the conservation of intraspecies biodiversity, the book explores the role of traditional local knowledge, in combination with archeological, historical, and biological data, in both understanding marine ecology and restoring herring to their former abundance.
