Later Mesolithic Fishing Strategies and Practices in Denmark (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781841713281)

An examination of later Mesolithic fishing strategies based primarily on indirect evidence and conjecture. Archaeological evidence from coastal sites and shell middens for example is considered alongside ethnographic parallels and modern fishing practices. Indirect evidence for the exploitation of fish and other marine resources include possible traps, bait, hooks, boats and dugouts, and much broader processes of sea level change, the impact of the introduction of farming, settlement and dietary change are also considered.
