Middle Holocene hunter-gatherers (HG) of the Cis-Baikal, Eastern Siberia, display substantial spatiotemporal variation in adaptive strategies highlighted by several cultural transitions. These transitions are examined focusing on role following factors: (1) changes distribution boreal forest; (2) technological innovations; (3) intensification fishing; and (4) their combined impacts subsistence ...

Spatial information on artisanal fisheries is largely lacking, making subsequent management and threat or impact assessments difficult. Local knowledge, current readily available mapping software Global Positioning System (GPS) techniques were used to map small-scale (subsistence artisanal) fishing areas within adjacent the western boundary of Ponta do Ouro Partial Marine Reserve in southern Mo...
