Perspectives from the Past: Archaeology, Historical Ecology, and Northeastern Pacific Pinnipeds and Sea Otters -- IndexFor more than ten thousand years, Native Americans from Alaska to southern California relied on aquatic animals such as seals, sea lions, and sea otters for food and raw materials. Archaeological research on the interactions between people and these marine mammals has made great advances recently and provides a unique lens for understanding the human and ecological past. Archaeological research is also emerging as a crucial source of information on contemporary environmental issues as we improve our understanding of the ancient abundance, ecology, and natural history of these species. This groundbreaking interdisciplinary volume brings together archaeologists, biologists, and other scientists to consider how archaeology can inform the conservation and management of pinnipeds and other marine mammals along the Pacific Coast.Marine mammal remains (Archaeology)Northwest Coast of North AmericaSeals (Animals)Effect of human beings onNorthwest Coast of North AmericaHistorySea otterEffect of human beings onNorthwest Coast of North AmericaHistoryHunting, PrehistoricNorthwest Coast of North AmericaPaleoecologyNorthwest Coast of North AmericaElectronic books.Marine mammal remains (Archaeology)Seals (Animals)Effect of human beings onHistory.Sea otterEffect of human beings onHistory.Hunting, PrehistoricPaleoecology930.1Braje Todd J.1976-906300Rick Torben C881078MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456888203321Human impacts on seals, sea lions, and sea otters2447110UNINA
