<P class=wrap6r>Archaeological data now show that relatively intense human
adaptations to coastal environments developed much earlier than once
believed--more than 125,000 years ago. With our oceans and marine fisheries
currently in a state of crisis, coastal archaeological sites contain a wealth of
data that can shed light on the history of human exploitation of marine
ecosystems. In eleven case studies from the Americas, Pacific Islands, North
Sea, Caribbean, Europe, and Africa, leading researchers working in coastal areas
around the world cover diverse marine ecosystems, reaching into deep history to
discover how humans interacted with and impacted these aquatic environments and
shedding new light on our understanding of contemporary environmental problems.
