For thousands of years, fisheries were crucial to the sustenance of the First Peoples of the Pacific Coast. Yet human impact has left us with a woefully incomplete understanding of their histories prior to the industrial era. Covering Alaska, British Columbia, and Puget Sound, The Archaeology of North Pacific Fisheries illustrates how the archaeological record reveals new information about ancient ways of life and the histories of key species. Individual chapters cover salmon, as well as a number of lesser-known species abundant in archaeological sites, including pacific cod, herring, rockfish.

Les poissons et leurs dérivés sont durant l’Antiquité une des bases de l’alimentation en Méditerranée. Pour autant, l’état de nos connaissances sur ces produits souffre aujourd’hui encore de nombreuses lacunes, que cet ouvrage tente partiellement de combler. Pour cela, il était nécessaire de réunir des études de spécialistes de différents horizons, d’une part pour faire le point sur des zones qui désormais sont les vitrines de nos disciplines - l’Afrique et la péninsule Ibérique notamment -, et d’autre part pour mettre l’accent sur des aires géographiques ou des périodes qui sont encore trop peu connues ou étudiées. Cet ouvrage, articulé autour de trois thèmes respectivement dédiés à des approches historiographiques et technologiques, à des études archéologiques sur l’Afrique et, enfin, à d’autres consacrées au reste de la Méditerranée, est majoritairement composé d’articles écrits par de jeunes chercheurs dont les travaux récents constituent un apport documentaire fondamental pour le renouvellement des problématiques qui sont à l’origine de la rencontre publiée ici. En ce sens, ce volume marque une étape dans l’avancée de nos connaissances en ce domaine.

"The excavation of shell middens and mounds is an important source of information regarding past human diet, settlement, technology, and paleoenvironments. The contributors to this book introduce new ways to study shell-matrix sites, ranging from the geochemical analysis of shellfish to the interpretation of human remains buried within. Drawing upon examples from around the world, this is one of the only books to offer a global perspective on the archaeology of shell-matrix sites; 'A substantial contribution to the literature on the subject and essential reading for archaeologists and others who work on this type of site'--Barbara Voorhies, University of California, Santa Barbara, author of Coastal Collectors in the Holocene : The Chantuto People of Southwest Mexico"--

This book examines the social relations surrounding foodways on the island of Nayau in Fiji. Offering a comprehensive and rigorous example of ethnoarchaeology at work, Jones' book has major implications for archaeological interpretations of foodways, gender, identity, and social organization in the Pacific Islands and beyond.
