Abstract Archaeological radiocarbon dating in coastal northern Hokkaido is challenged by the marine reservoir effect and scarcity of materials with terrestrial carbon sources. This has contributed to gaps general uncertainty timing region's culture-historical periods. The Late Holocene site Hamanaka 2 on Rebun Island, featuring a stratified shell midden context excellent preservation organic re...

Samenvatting Inleiding Midden door de Rotterdamse wijk Nesselande loopt een hoogspanningslijn. Wonen in buurt van hoogspanningslijn geeft mogelijk verhoogd risico op leukemie bij kinderen. De GGD heeft rol risicocommunicatie aan inwoners en adviseert gemeente over dit onderwerp. Uit eerder onderzoek is bekend dat mensen risico’s straling hoog inschatten vertrouwen overheid speelt risicopercepti...

The Atlantic coast of north-west France is one the classic shell-midden regions European Mesolithic, made famous by excavations Téviec and Hoedic in first half 20th century. At this time, there was a lack interest food refuse component shell middens. By end 1990s new study methods techniques had also contributed to better description varied activities these coastal populations. In France, have ...

In spite of the increased number investigations Mesolithic period in Atlantic Europe, including studies that have focused on reconstructing human diets, information about role shellfish subsistence strategies is still very limited. this study, an experimental programme to collect modern molluscs was carried out northern Iberia over a three-year order establish meat yield four main species recov...

Seawater pH and the availability of carbonate ions are decreasing due to anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, posing challenges for calcifying marine species. Marine mussels are of particular concern given their role as foundation species worldwide. Here, we document shell growth and calcification patterns in Mytilus californianus, the California mussel, over millennial and decadal scales. B...

The malacological analysis of the Cañada Honda shell midden (Tinto-Odiel estuary, SW Spain) has allowed an approximation palaeo biodiversity this sector during Mesolithic. During period, progressive marine transgression caused flooding coinciding with initial intensive capture bivalves Lutraria and Ruditapes decussatus in northern southern site, respectively. In a second phase, was main collect...
