Scientists recognize the Caribbean archipelago as a biodiversity hotspot and employ it for their research as a natural laboratory. Yet they do not always appreciate that these ecosystems are in fact palimpsests shaped by multiple human cultures over

A Simple Method for Quantifying Compositional Correspondence Between Zooarchaeological Assemblages Using Paired Similarity Indices

Autor: Christina M. Giovas

Publikováno v: Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory. 28:823-844

Archaeologists employ an array of comparative approaches to assess zooarchaeological assemblages and the human behavior that produced them. Similarity indices are a simple and effective method for evaluating correspondence between the taxa present an

Tropical islands of the Anthropocene: Deep histories of anthropogenic terrestrial–marine entanglement in the Pacific and Caribbean

Autor: Christina M. Giovas, Scott M. Fitzpatrick

Publikováno v: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

Islands are useful model systems for examining human–environmental interactions. While many anthropogenic effects visible in the archaeological and paleoecological records are terrestrial in nature (e.g., clearance of tropical forests for agricultu

Multiple studies reveal pre-1492 anthropogenic impacts on Caribbean fisheries that are consistent with overfishing, including changes in targeted prey, shifts in marine habitats exploited, and decreases in the average body size of taxa. At the Indige
