Molluscs and Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction in Island and Coastal Settings: Variability, Seasonality, and Sampling

In recent years there have been significant methodological advances in sampling and interpreting oxygen isotope data from mollusc shells recovered from archaeological sites. In particular, the oxygen isotope record in mollusc shells derived from island and coastal sites reveals trends in mollusc collection intensity, seasonality, and paleoenvironmental conditions. These lines of evidence add a new dimension for interpreting human-environmental …
