Description - Prehistoric Marine Resource Use in the Indo-Pacific Regions (Terra Australis 39) by Rintaro Ono
Although
historic sources provide information on recent centuries, archaeology can
contribute longer term understandings of pre-industrial marine exploitation
in the Indo-Pacific region, providing valuable baseline data for evaluating
contemporary ecological trends. This volume contains eleven papers which
constitute a diverse but coherent collection on past and present marine
resource use in the Indo-Pacific region, within a human-ecological
perspective. The geographical focus extends from Eastern Asia, mainly Japan
and Insular Southeast Asia (especially the Philippines) to the tropical
Pacific (Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia) and outlying sites in coastal
Tanzania (Indian Ocean) and coastal California (North Pacific).
The volume is divided thematically and temporally into four parts: Part 1,
Prehistoric and historic marine resource use in the Indo-Pacific Region; Part
2, Specific marine resource use in the Pacific and Asia; Part 3, Marine use
and material culture in the Western Pacific; and Part 4, Modern marine use
and resource management.
