Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The theoretical background to the use of land and freshwater Mollusca in establishing a chronological framework for archaeological deposits is discussed. Certain deficiencies in earlier studies are reviewed. Details of the stratigraphy of a site and of the modern ecological tolerances of Mollusca are two of the most important factors for any proper understanding of the significance of Mollusca for chronological work. Because of the way in which shells are incorporated into deposits, local environmental influences are difficult to separate from those of climatic origin. With careful work however, this can be done, as is shown by the pattern of faunal change in southern England since the last Glaciation. Work in four other areas (Central Europe, N America, the Near East and Africa) is briefly reviewed. Au | ||
