Abstract: |
The editors' introduction (1-10) explains the distinct advantages of the coastal ecotone for human subsistence: variety, potential abundance, concentration of food supplies, more productive climatic (and other) conditions for terrestrial plants and animals, etc. The Holocene transition is considered, as are patterns of change within the Holocene. Sedentism in coastal conditions needs special study. Of the other ten papers in the volume, the most relevant to British conditions is M A P Renouf's 'Sedentary coastal hunter-fishers: an example from the Younger Stone Age of northern Norway' (102-15), where migratory species could be efficiently exploited from one permanent location with a couple of outstation camps. |
