Reviews

Mirani Litster, of the Deparatment of Archaeology and Natural History, College of Asia and the Pacific, ANU, reviews Volume 39 in the Terra Australis series: Prehistoric Marine Resource Use in the Indo-Pacific Regions (edited by Rintaro Ono, Alex Morrison and David Addison) in the June 2014 issue of Australian Archaeology.

Litster writes:

The papers present varied data sets from prehistoric, historical and modern contexts, and the chronological and thematic organisation of these case studies provides clarity and cohesion…To my mind, the stand out papers are those by Christie, who examines status and differential resource patterning in the archaeological record in east Africa and Braje et al.’s examination of red abalone, sea otters and kelp forest ecosystems. This paper effectively illustrates the significant role that archaeology can play in providing insight into future sustainability plans. (p126)

and praises the collection’s success “in highlighting the relevance of a human ecology framework and the use of different methodological approaches to gain insight into past and present marine resource use and management.” (p126)
