Mesolithic and Neolithic shell middens in western Scotland: A comparative analysis of shellfish exploitation patterns

Authors:

Abstract

Shell midden sites are a common feature of the west Scottish Mesolithic and Neolithic and are distributed along mainland coasts and several of the Inner Hebridean Islands. This paper provides an overview of the shellfishing practices of coastal foragers in the region. A comparative analysis of the shellfish exploitation practices at four midden sites, An Corran, Carding Mill Bay II, Raschoille Cave and Ulva Cave, is presented. Over 30 species of shellfish were represented in the middens. However, only two genera were common, limpet (Patella spp.) and periwinkle (Littorina spp.). Both species have been widely used as food or as fish bait in recent times in this region. Variation in species representation between the middens is observed. This can be attributed in part to distinct sampling and/or recovery strategies, but also to local differences in shore substrate, topography and exposure. Certain species (e.g. European cowrie [Trivia spp.], edible oyster [Ostrea edulis] and king scallop [Pecten maximus]) were specifically collected for use as raw material in the manufacture of utensils and adornments. The consistent occurrence of incidental species provides insight into a diverse range of economic activities conducted at the sites.

Shell-midden sites are a common feature of the west Scot-
tish Mesolithic and Neolithic and are distributed along
mainland coasts and several of the Inner Hebridean
Islands. is chapter provides an overview of the shellsh-
ing practices of coastal foragers in the region. A compara-
tive analysis of the shellsh exploitation practices at four
midden sites, An Corran, Carding Mill Bay II, Raschoille
Cave, and Ulva Cave, is presented. More than  species
of shellsh were represented in the middens. However,
only two genera were common: limpet (Patella spp.) and
periwinkle (Littorina spp.). Both species have been widely
used as food or as sh bait in recent times in this region.
Variation in species representation between the middens
is observed. is variation can be attributed in part to dis-
tinct sampling and/or recovery strategies, but also to local
dierences in shore substrate, topography, and exposure.
Certain species (e.g., European cowrie [Trivia spp.], edible
oyster [Ostrea edulis], and king scallop [Pecten maximus])
were specically collected for use as raw material in the
manufacture of utensils and adornments. e consistent
occurrence of incidental species provides insight into a
diverse range of economic activities conducted at the sites.

e Early to Middle Holocene shell middens of Scotland
have been the subject of archaeological enquiry since the
mid-th century. By the beginning of the th century
middens of potentially Early to Middle Holocene age had
been investigated at sites in almost all the coastal regions
of Scotland (e.g., Curle ; Dalrymple ; Grieve ;

Tait ). Designated the “Scottish kitchen-middens” by J.
Brodie ( [], ), the shell mounds were described
as “refuse heaps” (Anderson ); their function was
assumed and their wider cultural meaning remained
largely unexplored. During the past  years an upsurge
in research into the Scottish Mesolithic and the transition
from foraging to farming has led to renewed interest in
the shell middens of western Scotland in particular. Many
coastal midden sites on the west Scottish mainland and
on the islands of the Inner Hebrides have been systemat-
ically excavated and recorded (e.g., Bonsall, Sutherland,
and Lawson , ; Bonsall et al. , ; Connock,
Finlayson, and Mills ; Hardy and Wickham-Jones
; Mellars ; Russell, Bonsall, and Sutherland ).
Excavations of the Oronsay shell middens were designed
to maximize recovery of economic and environmental
remains (Mellars ). More recently the wider cultural
signicance of these sites has been discussed (e.g., Bonsall
; Cobb ; Cummings ; Johnson and Bonsall
; Mellars ).
Faunal and oral remains recovered from the Scottish
middens reect signicant dietary diversity (Pickard and
Bonsall a). Remains of aquatic species—shellsh,
echinoderms, brachyurans, sh, and sea mammals
invariably form the major components of the middens, but
carbonized plant remains, such as burdock seeds (Arctium
lappa) and hazelnut shells (Corylus avellana) and bones of
terrestrial mammals, most commonly red deer (Cervus
elaphus) and wild boar (Sus scrofa), are not infrequent.
is chapter presents a comparative analysis of the shell
assemblages from four midden sites to provide an over-
view of the shell-harvesting strategies practiced in western
 Catriona Pickard and Clive Bonsall
Scotland during the Early to Middle Holocene ca. –
 cal BC. Understanding the strategies employed can
provide information on the economic and cultural signi-
cance of shellsh for foragers and early farmers. Species
representation in the middens is compared in order to
determine whether specic shellsh species were targeted.
e harvesting strategies are reconstructed based on the
ecology and behavior of the shellsh species represented in
the midden, and based on ethnographic analogies with
recent and historic shellshing practices.

Of the four principal sites discussed in this chapter, An
Corran and Ulva Cave are situated on islands of the Inner
Hebrides, while Carding Mill Bay II and Raschoille Cave
are on the mainland coast. All four sites lie within caves or
rock-shelters (Figure .).
e An Corran rock-shelter is situated on the north-
east coast of the Isle of Skye, at °'"N, °'"W. A
salvage excavation in advance of road widening (Miket
and Saville ) revealed a complex sequence of depos-
its, which included distinct layers or lenses of shell-mid-
den material. e present authors studied the shellsh
remains and oered a provisional interpretation of the
site chronology (Pickard and Bonsall b). Radiocar-
bon and stratigraphic evidence was interpreted to indi-
cate that the midden deposits belong to several dierent
periods in the use of the site between ca.  BP/
cal BC (Mesolithic) and ca.  BP/ cal BC (Bronze
Age) or even later.
Ulva Cave (°'"N, °'"W) is an ancient sea cave
on the south side of the small island of Ulva, which lies just
o the west coast of the much larger island of Mull. e
site has been under investigation by the present authors
since  (Bonsall, Sutherland, and Lawson , ;
Bonsall et al. , ; Russell, Bonsall, and Sutherland
; Pickard and Bonsall ). A shell midden occupies
the entrance area of the cave. Radiocarbon dates on marine
shells, mammalian bone, and carbonized plant material
from the midden range between ca.  and  BP (ca.
– cal BC; Bonsall et al. , and unpublished
data), although the vast majority of the C dates are older
than  BP ( cal BC), suggesting that the midden is
very largely of Mesolithic age. A large subsample of the
shell assemblage from Ulva Cave was analyzed by Nancy J.
Russell, Clive Bonsall, and Donald G. Sutherland (),
and we make use of their data in our consideration of the
Ulva Cave shell assemblage.
e two mainland sites, Carding Mill Bay II and
Raschoille Cave, lie within the town of Oban. ey are sit-
uated on opposite sides of a NE–SW–trending ridge, which
in the Middle Holocene (with a higher relative sea level)
was a rocky peninsula separating the ancient Oban embay-
ment from the Sound of Kerrera.
At Carding Mill Bay II (°'"N, °'"W), archaeo-
logical deposits inlled a narrow cle at the base of a for-
mer sea cli backing the Main Rock Platform, an ancient
shoreline that is extensively developed in central-west
Scotland. e site, which faces northwest toward the island
of Kerrera, was excavated by Clive Bonsall between 
and . Two well-dened shell-midden layers were
recorded, separated by a thin layer of talus. No C dates
are available for Carding Mill Bay II, but the presence of
characteristic pottery and bones of domestic livestock
indicate a Late Neolithic date for the upper midden layer;
the age of the lower midden layer is uncertain (Barto-
siewicz, Zapata, and Bonsall ). e nearby site of
Carding Mill Bay I, excavated by Kenneth D. Connock in
the s, also contained a shell-midden deposit. Radio-
carbon dates for the midden at Carding Mill Bay I range
from  ±  to  ±  BP (ca. – cal BC), sug-
gesting an Early Neolithic context—possibly extending
back into the Final Mesolithic (Bonsall and Smith ;
Connock, Finlayson, and Mills ).
Raschoille Cave (°'"N, °'"W) lies ca. . kilo-
meter southeast of the Carding Mill Bay sites, at the edge
of the (former) Oban embayment, facing northeast. In two
brief excavation campaigns in the s (Connock ;
Sloan ), deposits containing marine shells, mamma-
lian and sh bones, and carbonized plant remains were
uncovered beneath stony deposits containing Neolithic
human remains. Bonsall () obtained AMS C dates on
various materials from the site. e dates from the shell-
rich deposits range between ca.  and  BP (–
 cal BC), indicating a Late Mesolithic to Early Neo-
lithic context.
A number of other caves and rock-shelters containing
shell middens have been recorded in the Oban area since
the late th century, including MacArthur’s Cave and
Druimvargie Rockshelter excavated in – and ,
respectively (Anderson , ; Bonsall and Sutherland
). Although Armand D. Lacaille () published a
presence/absence list of the faunal remains from the sites,
few details of the middens and the shell assemblages
survive.

Identication
Shells were identied by comparison with reference col-
lections held by Archaeology at the University of Edin-
burgh and by the National Museum of Scotland. A total of
 distinct species or genera of shellsh were identied at
the four midden sites (Table .). Some specimens could
not be attributed beyond the level of genus because of the
fragmentary and/or abraded condition of the shells. It is
likely, therefore, that the total number of species in the
shell assemblages is underrepresented.
Closely related species may be ecologically distinct, occu-
pying dierent habitats and exhibiting discrete patterns of
behavior (e.g., Williams b). Identication to species
level is thus potentially important for determining harvest-
ing strategies, which may in turn inuence interpretation of
the economic and cultural signicance of shell middens. For
example, Veneridae have been identied in three of the
assemblages analyzed: Carding Mill Bay II, Raschoille Cave,
and Ulva Cave. Eleven species of Veneridae are native to
British waters. ese species occupy either lower eulittoral
(e.g., Venerupis senegalensis) or sublittoral zones (e.g., Timo-
clea ovata). Generally, the Veneridae represented in the shell

assemblages were fragmented, with signicant surface abra-
sion that had removed the periostracum and distorted spe-
cies-specic surface sculpturing. Consequently, only three
species, Venerupis senegalensis, Venus verrucosa, and Tapes
decussatus, could be attributed with certainty. Each of these
species can occupy the low shore to the sublittoral (Fish and
Fish ). However, it is possible that specimens of sublitto-
ral species are also present.
ree species of Patella are native to British waters: the
black-footed limpet (P. depressa), the China limpet (P. u lys-
siponensis), and the common limpet (P. vulgata). Spe-
cies-specic attributes occur in the periostracum and/or
so tissues, rendering these species archaeologically indis-
tinguishable (Ebling et al. ). Russell, Bonsall, and
Sutherland () described P. vulgata and/or P. aspe ra as
present in the Ulva Cave midden. P. aspera , until recently
considered synonymous with P. ulyssiponensis, is now con-
sidered taxonomically and genetically distinct (Weber and
Hawkins ).
Morphometric analysis of Patella spp. specimens from
the shell assemblages (Russell, Bonsall, and Sutherland
, and see below) demonstrates that limpet shells were
collected from all regions of the shore. Sympatric observa-
tions of the vertical distribution of P. ulyssiponensis and P.
vulgata have demonstrated that the former dominates
lower tidal populations, preferring continuous immersion,
whereas the latter, which exhibits greater tolerance of des-
iccation, is most frequent in mid- to high tidal regions
(Ebling et al. ; Moore ). It can be inferred from
this distribution that both P. vulgata and P. ulyssiponensis
are likely represented in the shell middens.
Although widely reported to be a southern species
reaching its northernmost distribution in Wales (e.g.,
Fretter and Graham ), recent records document the
occurrence of P. depressa populations on the west coast of
Scotland (Skewes ). It is therefore possible that all
three species, P. de pres sa, P. ulyssiponensis, and P. vulgata,
are present in the middens.
Similar problems of attribution apply to the two species
of Trivia, the Arctic cowrie (Tri v i a a r c t i c a) and the Euro-
pean cowrie (T. monacha), commonly found in British
waters, which are indistinguishable in the absence of so
tissues and where the periostracum is degraded (Lebour
). Although T. monacha is generally larger than T. arc-
tica (T. monacha grows to  millimeters whereas T. arctica
reaches  millimeters), “large” T. arcti ca specimens are a
regular component of southern populations (Vayssière
); that is, the two species are not morphometrically
discrete. Ecologically, however, the two species are dier-
ent. Both T. arc tica and T. monacha occupy the low shore
and sublittoral zone, but T. arctica occurs in higher densi-
ties in deeper waters (Lebour ).
Quantication
Shells and shell fragments identied to species level were
quantied by Minimum Number of Individuals (MNI), by
Number of Identiable Specimens (NISP), and by weight.
In this analysis of the shell assemblages, percentage rep-
resentation of species by MNI is utilized (Table .). e
shell assemblages vary signicantly in size with a relatively
small sample recovered from Raschoille Cave (n=,),
and larger samples from An Corran (n=,), Carding

rence of gastropod apices and whichever is the greater of

Human Use of Shellsh
Ethnographic accounts suggest that, traditionally, shellsh
have been harvested for ve principal purposes, as food,
bait, raw material for tool/utensil manufacture, orna-
mentation, and currency (e.g., Meehan ; Stewart ;
Waselkov ). Generally, large common species are col-
lected for food and raw materials, with rarer and extra-lo-
cal species used for ornamentation and currency. Species
representation, harvesting strategies, processing methods,
and modication of shells may provide some insight into
the intended use of the shellsh recovered from the mid-
den sites.
Species Representation
Each of the assemblages analyzed comprised a similar range
of species (Table .), although there is some variation in
the occurrence of secondary species. Only two species/gen-
era were abundant, limpets (Patella spp.) and periwinkles
(Littorina littorea), the combined species representation
accounting for . percent of the assemblage at An Corran,
. percent at Carding Mill Bay II, . percent at Raschoille
Cave, and . percent at Ulva Cave. e greatest number

species/genera are represented). is number may reect the
intensive recovery and processing methods used at this site,
as much as taphonomic or environmental factors. Virtually
all of the midden material excavated from Ulva Cave was
brought back to the laboratory for processing and analysis.
e material was wet-sieved through mesh sizes down to at
least one millimeter and the residues painstakingly picked
over for marine shells/fragments and other items of archae-
ological interest.
e relative abundance of the predominant species var-
ies both between and within assemblages (Figures .–
.). Patella spp. predominate at An Corran (. percent),
Carding Mill Bay II (. percent), and Ulva Cave (. per-
cent). is is a consistent feature of “Obanian” shell assem-
blages (cf. D. A. Jones ). However, although Patella spp.
are common in the Raschoille Cave assemblage, L. littorea
dominates (. percent).
Variation in secondary species representation is also
evident (Figures .–.). e assemblage at Raschoille
Cave is distinctive in the relative abundance of bivalves.
Ulva Cave is notable for the presence of two species that
have a southern distribution today. ick topshell (Osili-
nus lineatus) is a minor but consistent component of the
shell assemblage occurring throughout the lower part of
the midden (Russell, Bonsall, and Sutherland ). Today
O. lineatus is restricted to waters south of Anglesey (Croth-
ers ; Kendall ). Another southern species identi-
ed in the midden, the European abalone (Haliotus tuber-
culata), currently reaches the northern limit of its
distribution in the Channel Islands. e presence of O.
lineatus and H. tuberculata indicates higher sea tempera-
tures in the Middle Holocene compared to today (Pickard
and Bonsall, unpublished data).
e Ulva Cave assemblage is also idiosyncratic in the
proportion of dogwhelk (Nucella lapillus) shells (> per-
cent). N. lapillus is present in very small quantities at An
Corran (ca. . percent) and virtually absent from
Raschoille Cave (. percent) and Carding Mill Bay II (.
percent). Ecologically, N. lapillus favors rocky shores
Mesolithic and Neolithic Shell Middens in Western Scotland 
similar to those colonized by Patella spp. and L. littorea,
and as one of the most common species on intertidal
stretches of British shores (Freare ), N. lapillus might
be expected to feature in each of the middens. N. lapillus
was a signicant component of the shell assemblages from
the Oronsay sites (D. A. Jones ), Carding Mill Bay I
(Connock, Finlayson, and Mills ), and MacArthur
Cave (Anderson ). Changes in local shore ecology may
account for the signicant presence of N. lapillus at Card-
ing Mill Bay I and its rarity at Carding Mill Bay II, but fur-
ther discussion of the eect of ecological change on species
representation at the Carding Mill Bay sites is constrained
by poor chronological/stratigraphic resolution at Carding
Mill Bay I (Connock, Finlayson, and Mills ) and the
lack of C dates for Carding Mill Bay II. N. lapillus popula-
tions can be restricted on very sheltered shores through
predation by crabs (Hughes and Elner ). e scarcity
of N. lapillus at both Carding Mill Bay II and Raschoille
Cave may reect prevailing shore ecology at the time of
midden accumulation. However, predation by crabs is sel-
dom so heavy that N. lapillus is entirely absent. is leaves
open the possibility that some form of cultural selection
(resulting in avoidance or overexploitation) was responsi-
ble for the scarcity of N. lapillus at Carding Mill Bay II and
Raschoille Cave. N. lapillus is said to have a very distinc-
tive taste that many people today nd unpalatable (Croth-
ers ), and it is possible that some prehistoric groups
were similarly deterred from exploiting dogwhelks as a
source of food. Shell morphology in N. lapillus has been
demonstrated to vary with shore exposure, directly reect-
ing predation pressures. On sheltered shores, N. lapillus
populations have a relatively elongated shell and smaller
aperture; this form acts to exclude crab chelae, thereby
reducing predation (Hughes and Elner ). Associated
with shell elongation is an increase in wall thickness and
consequently a reduction in esh; these thick shells are
“less protable to crab predators” (Curry and Hughes ,
). is would also be true for human shellsh harvesters.
Reduction in animal size and the diculty of extracting
meat from a narrow aperture may have made the harvest-
ing of N. lapillus unprotable on certain very sheltered
shores. Since some birds, crustaceans, and sh are known
to feed on dogwhelks, it may be that the presence or
absence of N. lapillus in west Scottish shell middens is
related more to the use of this species as bait than as food,
reecting local dierences in shing customs and/or the
availability of sh and crustacean species that respond well
to dogwhelk bait. Dogwhelk exploitation was not neces-

there was a small-scale dyeing industry in medieval Ire-
land based on dogwhelks (Cole , cited by Baker ).
However, there is no evidence for the use of such dyes in
Stone Age Scotland.
Harvesting Strategies
Detailed consideration of species ecology may indicate
harvesting practices. Shellsh collection strategies may
vary depending on:
. Horizontal distribution—e shore can be subdi-
vided into the littoral and the sublittoral based on
immersion. e littoral is the region between the limits
of high and low tides (also known as the intertidal
zone); the sublittoral is the region below the low-tide
level of the shore. Oen the vertical range of a species
found in the littoral zone will extend into the sublitto-
ral. However, a number of species occupy the sublitto-
ral zone exclusively and are never fully emersed. While
some of these sublittoral species may be collected by
hand in near-shore shallows, they oen inhabit deeper
waters. Systematic harvesting of sublittoral species
therefore involves dierent strategies from the gather-
ing of intertidal species. e latter can be hand-col-
lected in large quantities on the receding tide with little
or no specialized equipment, whereas the former would
require shellshing gear such as long-handled rakes or
nets, or could be gathered by divers.
. Vertical distribution—Shellsh can also be catego-
rized according to their vertical position: epifaunal
species lie on the substrate surface, infaunal species
burrow below the substrate, and semi-infaunal species
will be encountered partially buried. Harvesting of
infaunal species involves the greatest eort; rst, the
location of the shellsh must be established; then they
must be gathered by digging or dredging.
e ecological preferences of the species/genera identied
at the four sites under discussion are given in Table ..
Mesolithic and Neolithic Shell Middens in Western Scotland 
Epifaunal, littoral species dominate the four assem-
blages analyzed. In spite of the variation in individual spe-
cies observed between the assemblages, consideration of
the ecological preferences of the most abundant species
(Patella spp., Littorina spp., N. lapillus, and Trochoidea)
indicates that the majority of the shellsh were harvested
from rocky shores (see Table .). Moreover Patella spp.,
Littorina spp., N. lapillus, and Trochoidea are among the
most abundant species on intertidal stretches of modern
shores (Little and Kitching ), suggestive of unselective
gathering of the shellsh readily available in the intertidal
zone. If shellshing was largely conned to the intertidal
zone, then the collection of cowrie shells from the shore at
low tide would likely preferentially select for T. monacha,
since T. arctic a occurs in higher densities in deeper waters
(Lebour ).
However, it is important to note that shell assemblages
may embody time-averaged accumulations; individual
shellshing expeditions may have been more selective
than suggested by the shell assemblages. Russell, Bonsall,

Table .. Summary of species ecology
Mesolithic and Neolithic Shell Middens in Western Scotland 
and Sutherland () noted the presence of pockets of
shells of a single species in the Ulva Cave midden. Such
pockets may represent individual harvesting episodes.
is was also suggested by Joseph Anderson () to
account for the single-species concentrations of shells in
the MacArthur Cave midden. Targeted harvesting activi-
ties are consistent with ethnographic accounts of the shell-
shing practices of the Anbarra of Arnhem Land, north-
ern Australia. Betty Meehan () observed that shellsh
were gathered by women and children collecting a single
predetermined species on each expedition.
D. Aaron Jones () demonstrated that limpet shell
morphology (reected in the length/height ratio) is a use-
ful indicator of the shore zone from which the animal was
collected. Shell morphology varies with position on the
shore, reecting emersion time. When not immersed, lim-
pets attach strongly to rock to prevent desiccation and
reduce predation risk; in this process muscle exertion
causes shells in the upper shore zone to exhibit elongated
height relative to overall length.
Russell, Bonsall, and Sutherland () established that
the morphology of limpets at Ulva Cave was consistent
with collection mainly from the middle and lower zones of
the littoral. However, further work on midden samples
from Ulva Cave indicates that there are areas within the
midden where limpet morphology is more heterogeneous
than in the samples examined by Russell, Bonsall, and
Sutherland ()—suggesting some harvesting from the
upper shore. Similar heterogeneity was apparent in some
samples from An Corran (Pickard and Bonsall ).
ese observations are reinforced by the pattern of occur-
rence of other shellsh species. A single occurrence of Lit-
torina neritoides at Ulva Cave and the more frequent pres-
ence of Littorina saxatilis at both An Corran and Ulva
Cave suggest harvesting of shellsh from the upper shore
zone. is is further supported by the co-occurrence of
four species of topshell in the Ulva Cave assemblage. Com-
petition for food results in a discrete vertical distribution
of the ecologically similar topshell species (Crothers ).
C. zizyphinum and G. cineraria inhabit the lower shore, G.
umbilicalis the middle shore, and O. lineatus the upper
zone.
It can be inferred from the dominance of epifaunal, lit-
toral species that little specialized technology would have
been required for shellshing, although a wide range of
expedient and specialized tools may have been utilized,
e.g., digging tools and collecting baskets. As Russell, Bon-
sall, and Sutherland () note, there has been discussion
about the need for some form of hammer to remove
limpets from rocks. Limpets attach strongly to rocks when
not feeding, making it dicult to pry them from the slight
depressions or “home scars” in which they sit. Hundreds
of bevel-ended bone and/or stone implements have been
recovered from sites such as MacArthur Cave and Caisteal
nan Gillean I (Anderson ). Anderson () noted the
similarity of the larger examples to “limpet hammers” tra-
ditionally used to harvest limpets. Experimental limpet
harvesting by Russell, Bonsall, and Sutherland ()
found that removing limpets by direct percussion caused
damage to the shell and removal by indirect percussion
oen resulted in shellsh loss. Janet Gritts and Bonsall
() observed that it was easier to remove limpets when
they were just below the waterline or submerged in rock
pools. Russell, Bonsall, and Sutherland () noted that
limpets are most readily gathered when they are feeding,
when it is oen possible to remove them by hand. At this
time they leave the safety of their home scars in search of
food and are only weakly attached to the substrate. Limpet
feeding behavior is not directly related to immersion;
rather it is temporally restricted to reduce risk of predation
by crabs and starsh at high tide and by birds at low tide
(Little ; Williams et al. ). Limpets in the upper
reaches of the shore generally feed at night, whereas those
occupying the lower shore tend to feed during the day (Lit-
tle ). Temporal variation in the feeding behavior of
limpets may have inuenced the scheduling of shellshing
expeditions, and nighttime gathering has been widely
reported among ethnographically known shellsh gather-
ers (e.g., Kennedy and Bouchard ; omas ).
Infaunal species and sublittoral species are a consistent
but secondary component of each of the middens. Infaunal
species comprise a small proportion of the shell assem-
blages at An Corran (. percent), Carding Mill Bay II (.
percent), Raschoille Cave (. percent), and Ulva Cave (.
percent). As noted above, the Raschoille Cave assemblage
stands out because of the relatively high proportion of
infaunal bivalves represented. e presence of signicant
quantities of these species in conjunction with the pre-
dominance of gastropods such as limpets and topshells
that have primitive gill systems and consequently are obli-
gate inhabitants of rocky substrates suggests that either ()
a mixed foreshore existed at Raschoille cave (i.e., a combi-
nation of so and rm substrates), or () shellsh were reg-
ularly harvested from dierent shores and then processed
and/or deposited at the site. Although Raschoille Cave is
now located some distance from the modern shore, in the
Middle Holocene the site would have been marginal to a
sheltered inlet where a variety of substrate types would
 Catriona Pickard and Clive Bonsall
have existed near the cave, which favors the former expla-
nation. Although the proportions of shellsh species are
distinctive at Raschoille Cave, the harvesting strategy
adopted is essentially the same as that observed at the
other sites analyzed; in other words, there was an appar-
ently unselective gathering of the shells available in the
intertidal zone. is is suggestive of a “least eort”
approach to shellsh gathering.
A survey of the distribution and abundance of infaunal
bivalves conducted by the Marine Laboratory of Aberdeen
reinforces this hypothesis. On average the bivalves inhab-
iting the coastal waters of Scotland contain more meat per
individual than many gastropod species (although admit-
tedly the gastropod Buccinum undatum can grow very
large). Furthermore, bivalves are widely considered to be
more palatable than many gastropods and as such are the
primary focus of many modern commercial shellsheries
(e.g., Fernandez-Moreno et al. ). Bivalves might there-
fore be expected to be the target of prehistoric shellsh
harvesting strategies. e Aberdeen Marine Laboratory
survey recovered  distinct species of bivalve in Scottish
coastal waters (McKay ). Surveys of the coastal waters
of southwest and northwest Scotland (regions incorporat-
ing the sites discussed in this chapter) indicate that several
of the most commonly occurring infaunal bivalves (e.g.,
Dosinia exoleta, Dosinia lupinus, Lucinoma borealis, and
Circomphalus casina), which occupy the lower littoral zone
and could have been harvested at low water with the aid of
digging sticks, rakes, or nets, are notable by their absence
from the middens. Combining the biology and behavior of
the species represented in the midden with information on
the species that are “missing” from the middens indicates
that shellshing was conducted expediently, with the most
accessible and abundant species being targeted.
Of the infaunal species identied at Carding Mill Bay II,
Raschoille Cave, and Ulva Cave, e.g., Cerastoderma spp.,
Tapes decussatus, Venerupis senegalensis, and Ve n u s ve rru-
cosa, most occupy habitats a short distance (ca. ve–ten
centimeters) beneath the substrate surface and can be
gathered relatively easily by shallow digging at low tide
(Fish and Fish ). Razor shells (Ensis spp.) may be the
exception to this. J. Holden () claims that harvesting
razor shells requires considerable skill. Although razor
shells can be readily located at low tide from the character-
istic keyhole-shaped cast of their burrows le on the sur-
face of the sand, this genus can descend to depths of up to
 centimeters when disturbed (N. S. Jones ) and is
anecdotally reported to burrow faster than its pursuer can
dig. Traditional methods of collecting razor shells include
digging at low tide, salting shores (causing the razor shell
to emerge from its burrow), and spearing with a small
barbed projectile (Kenchington, Duggan, and Riddell ;
von Brandt ). However, as with other infaunal/sublit-
toral species, they can sometimes be collected in large
numbers on the shore following storms (Darling ).
A single specimen of Icelandic cyprine (Arctica
islandica) is the only infaunal species identied at An Cor-
ran, likely reecting the dominance of rocky and coarse
gravel shores in this region of Skye, again suggestive of
unselective gathering of intertidal shellsh available in the
vicinity of the site. It is conceivable that the A. islandica
specimen was collected empty from the shore or was trans-
ported to the site from elsewhere on Skye with a so-sub-
strate shore suited to its ecology.
Sublittoral species are surprisingly uncommon, com-
prising . percent of the total assemblage at An Corran,
. percent at Carding Mill Bay II, . percent at
Raschoille Cave, and . percent at Ulva Cave. Many sub-
littoral species are important commercially exploited
foods today and are observed ethnographically to be used
for food and raw materials.
Modiolus modiolus is generally reported to be a sublitto-
ral species and is abundant in waters deeper than ten
meters. However Modiolus modiolus does occupy the very
shallow sublittoral at low densities (Dinesen and Ockel-
mann ). e very small quantities of Modiolus modio-
lus recovered are not suggestive of systematic gathering of
even shallow sublittoral species.
Two sublittoral species of scallop, king scallop (Pecten
maximus) and black scallop (Mimachlamys varia), also
occur in small quantities in each of the shell middens (.
percent at An Corran, . percent at Carding Mill Bay II,
. percent at Raschoille Cave, and . percent at Ulva
Cave). As with Modiolus modiolus there is a widely held
perception that the distribution of adult P. maximus is
restricted to waters in excess of ten meters depth (Marshall
and Wilson ). e Ama of Japan, among the best
known traditional divers, regularly dive to collect shell-
sh, sea urchins, and octopus. Unassisted, the Ama gener-
ally dive to depths considerably less than ten meters (Hong
et al. ; Hong and Rahn ). Low temperatures and
limited visibility in Scottish coastal waters may have
placed further restrictions on free diving; diving for deep-
er-water scallops in the early to mid-Holocene in west
Scotland is unlikely. However, the current distribution of
P. maximus in British coastal waters may reect recent
overshing. Accounts by modern scallop divers suggest
that distributions have changed signicantly within the
Mesolithic and Neolithic Shell Middens in Western Scotland 
last  years in the British Isles. Until recently, large scal-
lops were reportedly harvested in waters considerably less
than . meters deep (Mason ). Although scallops may
have been available in the shallow sublittoral at the time of
midden accumulation, regular diving for sublittoral spe-
cies still seems unlikely. is is inferred from the relative
scarcity of scallop shells in the middens analyzed, rein-
forced by evidence that some of these at least were col-
lected as empty shells on the shore, presumably for use as
raw material (Russell, Bonsall, and Sutherland ).
Other sublittoral and infaunal species are very rare in
the midden assemblages, which suggests that they were
not regularly exploited. Two specimens of common peli-
can’s foot (Apporhais pespelecani) and several tower shells
(Turritella communis) were identied at Ulva Cave. As
with the scallop shells it is possible that these species were
gathered empty from the shore. e lack of sublittoral and
infaunal species at each of the sites investigated further
supports the hypothesis of a “least eort” shellshing
strategy.

Russell, Bonsall, and Sutherland () reported the pres-
ence of signicant numbers of very small shells at Ulva
Cave, including those of L. littorea, N. lapillus, and Helcion
pellucidum, which they argued were too small to have been
collected as food or bait and had probably been trans-
ported to the site attached to seaweed.
Helcion (rayed limpets) attach to laminarian species and
fucoid seaweeds (Graham and Fretter ). e form of
Helcion varies according to the part of the seaweed to
which it attaches. On the basis of this habitat-induced
morphological variation, Graham and Fretter () sug-
gested that Helcion should be attributed to two species: H.
pellucidum, which inhabits the fronds of seaweeds and has
an oval form with an o-center apex; while H. laevis,
which occupies the holdfasts of seaweeds, is atter and
more irregular in shape, with a roughly central apex. e
two species of Helcion also have distinctive shell coloring;
H. laevis has up to  alternating red/brown and green
rays whereas H. pellucidum has up to  blue rays (Graham
and Fretter ). Although the periostracum (and there-
fore distinguishing color) is absent, the specimens recov-
ered from Ulva Cave display variable form and both
morphs may be represented.
In addition to the incidental species identied by Rus-
sell, Bonsall, and Sutherland (), there are several other
economically unimportant species (i.e., small species or
specimens with little esh that are not particularly rare or
decorative) at Ulva Cave and the other sites included in
this study. Two species of at periwinkle (L. obtusata and
L. mariae) fall into this category and, like the rayed limpet,
may have found their way onto the sites attached to sea-
weeds. Small specimens (some as small as three millime-
ters in length) of at periwinkles occur consistently
throughout the midden deposits at An Corran, Carding
Mill Bay II, and Ulva Cave. Both species attach to brown
algae on which they feed (Williams a); however, they
occupy distinct micro-algal zones (Ekendahl ). L.
mariae attaches to toothed wrack (Fucus serratus), whereas
L. obtusata is found on knotted wrack (Ascophyllum nodo-
sum) or bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosis) (Reimchen ;
Williams b). At Raschoille Cave the relative abun-
dance of at periwinkle in certain contexts is suggestive of
episodic increase in seaweed exploitation. Generally
regarded as a species targeted for use as raw material
because of the perforated specimens found in abundance
at the Oronsay middens (D. A. Jones , ), Trivi a spp.
may also have entered the midden deposits on seaweeds;
the ascidians on which they feed oen attach to seagrasses
(Zostera spp.) (Lebour ). e sea snail Cingula trifasci-
ata and other members of the Rissoidae have been found at
Carding Mill Bay II, Raschoille Cave, and Ulva Cave.
ese species are associated with knotted wrack and other
algae (Viejo and Aberg ). A further small species, the
needlewhelk (Bittium reticulatum), which was identied at
Ulva Cave and Raschoille Cave, is commonly found on eel-
grass, Zostera spp., and knotted wrack. us, on this evi-
dence, a wide range of dierent seaweeds appears to have
been systematically harvested. Russell, Bonsall, and
Sutherland () suggested that the seaweed was collected
for use in food processing, either as fuel or for wrapping
around sh or shellsh prior to baking in open res. is
interpretation was supported by the presence of pieces of
vitreous slag in the Ulva Cave midden thought to have
resulted from the burning of seaweed.
Not all of the incidental species/specimens identied are
associated with seaweeds. Common wentletrap (Epito-
nium clathrus), for example, feeds on sea anemones such as
Anemonia sulcata (Gittenberger ). Generally sublitto-
ral, needlewhelks migrate to the lower shore in spring and
summer to breed. Large populations are frequently washed
ashore en masse and can be readily gathered in littoral
regions at this time (Billiau ). Needlewhelks seldom
exceed  millimeters in length, and as such are economi-
cally unimportant; however, they may have been collected
for the purple dye they exude when distressed (Keen ).
 Catriona Pickard and Clive Bonsall
Acorn barnacles, the calcareous plates of which are well
represented in each of the shell assemblages discussed, are
also likely to have been transported to the site uninten-
tionally, attached to a range of objects such as stones, sea-
weed, and driwood as well as shells.
Processing Strategies
Ethnographic and ethnohistoric accounts of process-
ing practices indicate that shellsh intended for human
consumption are oen cooked. Cooking may not relate
directly to palatability and is more oen undertaken to
extract the shellsh esh; the easiest way to obtain the
meat of bivalves is by heating the shellsh. Many gastro-
pod species (including limpets and periwinkles) are also
reported to be easier to remove from their shells if the
animal is rst killed by immersion in boiling water. e
large number of intact periwinkles recovered from each of
the assemblages analyzed may reect cooking to aid meat
extraction. Unfortunately the most common forms of
cooking recorded, for example boiling, steaming, or bak-
ing, are of short duration and generally leave little trace on
the shell (Waselkov ). Although cooking activities are
suggested by the presence of charred shells at An Corran,
Carding Mill Bay II, and Ulva Cave, burnt shell constitutes
only a very small proportion of the shell assemblages (<
percent by weight) and as such does not provide evidence
for the systematic cooking of shellsh. It is important to
note, however, that the majority of the burnt shell frag-
ments at Ulva Cave and Carding Mill Bay II were Littorina
spp. possibly reecting the widespread practice of heating
these gastropods to facilitate meat extraction. Multiple
hearths and burnt lenses of shells attest to cooking activi-
ties at the Oronsay shell middens dated to the Late Meso-
lithic, ca. – cal BC (Mellars ). Russell, Bonsall,
and Sutherland () reported a “Neolithic cooking pit” at
Ulva Cave containing carbonized cereal grains, charcoal,
and shell fragments, but new single-entity C dates on car-
bonized cereal grains conict with a previous radiometric
C date on charcoal and suggest the pit feature is probably
of Medieval date (Bonsall, unpublished data).
As at Ulva Cave (cf. Russell, Bonsall, and Sutherland
), N. lapillus specimens from An Corran are more
fragmented than the shells of L. littorea. Oen the spires of
the N. lapillus specimens have been removed. Since dog-
whelks generally have thicker, more robust shells than per-
iwinkles, this evidence suggests deliberate breakage of
dogwhelks rather than post-depositional damage. D. A.
Jones () notes a similar pattern of damage to dog-
whelks in the Oronsay assemblages. Breaking the spire is
an eective way of accessing the shellsh meat. is is
demonstrated on sheltered shores by the approach taken
by crabs to exploiting N. lapillus; rather than trying to
fracture the aperture with their chelae, the crabs attempt
to crack open the top of the shell (Hughes and Elner ).
Food versus Bait
Shellsh are widely exploited today as both food and bait.
Many of the most commercially valuable food species (e.g.,
Ensis spp., Ostrea edulis, and Pecten maximus) are widely
considered to be the most eective baits. Ensis spp. are
particularly prized for their ecacy in catching a wide
range of sh species (Darling ). By contrast, the pre-
dominant shellsh in Early-Middle Holocene middens in
western Scotland, Patella spp., are widely perceived today
as poor tasting and useful only as sh bait. In traditional
Scottish sheries, limpets and periwinkles are reported to
have been commonly used as bait (Fenton ), but they
are also widely documented to have been used as food (e.g.,
Fenton ), and modern informants who have actually
tasted limpets oen nd them to be very palatable, espe-
cially when baked.
Margaret R. Deith () argued that shells intentionally
broken to extract the meat were likely to have been used as
bait, whereas shells that had been heated were human
food. It might be inferred from such a statement that many
of the shells found in the middens, such as the fractured
dogwhelks at Ulva Cave, were collected for use as bait for
sh and crustaceans. As Russell, Bonsall, and Sutherland
() point out, recent shellsh processing strategies oen
involve shucking or breaking of shells to extract meat for
human food. Gregory A. Waselkov () noted that shell-
sh are oen consumed with shell fragments le in the
meat. Patterns of fracture are therefore not a reliable indi-
cator of intended use.
Two things follow from this: one is that ethnocentric
evaluations of shellsh palatability should be treated with
caution; the other is that it would be dicult to distinguish
intended use on the basis of species representation alone.
ere are few features that distinguish food assemblages
from bait assemblages. Arguably, the shell assemblage
from Ulva Cave is more consistent with food use given the
evidence for collection of potential fuels (e.g., seaweeds)
for on-site cooking activities and the recovery of burnt
shells at the site. Moreover, during the Early-Middle Holo-
cene, Ulva Cave was at least  meters from the shoreline
in very rugged terrain, and it seems improbable that shell-
sh intended for bait would have been transported to the
cave for processing prior to use, and much more likely that
Mesolithic and Neolithic Shell Middens in Western Scotland 
they would have been processed and the shells discarded
on the shore.
Use of Shellsh as Raw Material and
the Manufacture of Artifacts
Many coast-dwelling communities, both archaeologically
and ethnographically documented, made use of shells for
the manufacture of artifacts (Stewart ; Waselkov ).
e collection of shells for raw material rather than food
or bait can be established in archaeological assemblages by
the presence of () encrustation of the interior surface of
the shell or perforation by carnivorous gastropods, both
of which would indicate that the shell had been collected
empty, () use-wear, and () manufacturing traces reect-
ing deliberate modication for use as utensils or decorative
objects. Such evidence occurs relatively infrequently in the
shell assemblages analyzed.
It may be inferred from the presence of true sublittoral
species (as discussed above) that certain shells were col-
lected empty from the shore. Fragments of common peli-
can’s foot (A. pespelecani) were identied in the Ulva Cave
assemblage. is species has two subspecies, one of which,
A. pespelecani pespelecani, is more abundant in southern
European waters today; the other, A. pespelecani bilobatus,
is more commonly found in Boreal Atlantic waters. Both
subspecies have been found in the oshore waters of the
west coast of Scotland. e remains from Ulva Cave are
too fragmentary to identify to subspecies level, particu-
larly given the morphometric variation observed within
each subspecies. It is likely, given the species ecology
(infaunal at depths of greater than  meters), that this
shell was collected empty on the shore and may have
attracted the attention of prehistoric beachcombers
because of its unusual, highly decorative form.
At An Corran two Triv i a spp. shells were recovered; nei-
ther of these specimens was perforated, but it is likely they
were collected for use as raw material or introduced attached
to seaweed. Perforated examples of Trivia spp. were found in
the Ulva Cave assemblage. A single example with a double
perforation was recovered from the upper part of the mid-
den and a further example with quadruple perforations was
identied in the lower midden deposits. Unperforated Tr iv ia
spp. shells were also present. e quantities of Tr ivia spp.
from An Corran and Ulva Cave are insignicant when com-
pared to the much larger numbers reported from the Oron-
say sites (Bishop ; Mellars ), perhaps reecting dif-
ferences in behavior patterns between sites.
A. Henderson Bishop () reported the presence in a
Mesolithic shell midden on Oronsay of P. maximus shells
with edges that were worn by use, and interpreted them as
having served as scoops or ladles. Similarly, Paul A. Mel-
lars () reported nds of P. maximus shells with edge
wear and manufacturing traces from other sites on Oron-
say; while Anderson () described nds of P. maximus
shells from MacArthur Cave, which were thought to have
been used as scoops. Shells of P. maximus were recovered
in small quantities from An Corran, Carding Mill Bay II,
and Raschoille Cave; however, they are not obviously mod-
ied and there is no indication that they were used as tools
or utensils. P. maximus was more abundant at Ulva Cave
but the shells are highly abraded, although several frag-
ments have wear and polish on the edge that may have
resulted from use. Similar wear has been observed on the
lower valves of Ostrea edulis shells at Ulva Cave. A more
detailed study of these nds involving microscopic exam-
ination of the edges will be necessary in order to deter-
mine if and how the shells were used.
As noted above, the single valve of A. islandica from the
midden deposits at An Corran may also have been col-
lected as raw material. e edges of this specimen are
highly abraded, and no obvious traces of use or manufac-
turing are evident.

Our synthesis of the data from four coastal shell middens
in western Scotland has provided new insights into the
human use of shellsh by Mesolithic and Neolithic groups
and into the cultural signicance of the middens.
e relative abundance of the species identied at each
of the four sites analyzed suggests that the focus of shell-
shing activities was epifaunal species, unselectively har-
vested from the intertidal zone of the shore in the vicinity
of the site. e rarity of infaunal and sublittoral species at
each site analyzed further suggests that shellshing was a
“least eort” foraging strategy.
e systematic collection of seaweeds is suggested by
the consistent occurrence of incidental species. Evidence
for the use of seaweed as fuel and the presence of charred
shells is consistent with heating shellsh to extract meat.
Although shellsh may have been collected as sh bait,
it is likely that shellsh transported back to sites such as
Ulva Cave, which was located some distance from the con-
temporaneous shoreline, were collected as food. Process-
ing of shellsh for bait is likely to have taken place at sh-
ing grounds, namely, close to the shore.
Several species of sublittoral shellsh appear to have
been collected in small numbers for use as raw material.
 Catriona Pickard and Clive Bonsall
Only a small proportion of these shells bears traces of
modication. None of these species appears to have been
systematically harvested, and they were most likely oppor-
tunistically gathered during shellshing expeditions along
the foreshore, reinforcing the impression of a least eort
gathering strategy.

. Caution must be exercised in the use of shell morphology as
an absolute marker of shore position. Populations of P. ulyssipon-
ensis and juvenile P. vulgata may permanently inhabit rock-pools
in mid- and upper-shore regions (Delany, Myers, and McGrath
, Noël et al. ). In such locations limpets are continuously
submerged, and shell morphology might be expected to mimic
that of low-shore populations. Moreover, prolonged periods of
storminess and strong wave action have elongating eects on
shells from the lower- and mid-shore zones (Yonge ). Martha
V. Andrews and colleagues () identied changes in N. lapillus
morphology in the Oronsay shell assemblages that were linked to
variations in storm frequency during the Holocene, suggesting
that shell morphometry may not be a straightforward measure of
shore position.

... Over the course of the last 150 years many interpretations of these sites and their broader socio-economic contexts have been proposed. The animal and plant remains recovered attest to the exploitation of a diverse range of both aquatic and terrestrial resources ( Pickard and Bonsall 2012;Pickard and Bonsall 2014). However, marine species dominate assemblages leading to the widespread view that the middens are the archaeological remains of a maritime adapted culture ( Woodman 1989;Bonsall 1996;Richards and Mellars 1998;Connock et al. 1993;Bartosiewicz et al. 2010;cf. ...
... The earliest shell midden deposits at Ulva Cave (see Fig. 1: Bonsall 1992; Wicks and Mithen 2014) have been dated to the Later Mesolithic (sensu stricto Saville 2008) c. 8580 cal BP (8060±50 BP, GU-2600; 8020±50 BP, GU-2601). Upper midden deposits have been dated to c. 6660 cal BP (6090±50 BP, GU-2602; 5930±50 BP, GU-2603) and a bevel-ended antler tool has provided a slightly later date of c. 6510 cal BP (5750±70 BP, OxA-3738)indicating repeated, if episodic, activity for a period of over 2000 years ( Bonsall 1992;Pickard and Bonsall 2014;Wicks and Mithen 2014). At Ulva Cave, midden deposition ceases before the appearance of the Neolithic in Scotland. ...
... ( Groom 2014). This observation, along with the relative abundance of dog whelks at CMB I, and numerous other western Scottish midden sites, including An Corran, Ulva Cave, MacArthur Cave, Druimvargie Cave, and at each of the Oronsay sites, emphasizes the distinctive nature of the CMB II assemblage ( Anderson 1895Anderson , 1898Jones 1984;Russell 1993;Pickard and Bonsall 2014). It also suggests that individual preferences, avoidance or taboos, which have been ethnographically observed to restrict the collection of certain species of shellfish (e.g. ...
... There is a relatively consistent pattern of exploitation of coastal and marine resources across Mesolithic shell middens. Though several species of shellfish can occur (Pickard and Bonsall 2014) the main bulk of the middens normally comprises limpet (Patella spp.), with winkle (Littorina spp.) and dog whelk (Nucella lapillus) present in lesser amounts. Though limpets are generally considered unpalatable in the UK today, they used to be eaten (Wickham-Jones 2003) and they continue to be a popular source of food elsewhere including the Atlantic islands of Madeira and the Azores. ...
... Mussels (Mytilus edulis) live attached to rocks in the intertidal zone; however, their shells are thin and small fragments of them are often present in middens as they degrade more readily than other shells (Milner 2009a). In terms of sub-littoral edible bivalves, such as scallops (pectinidae), oysters (Ostrea edulis), and clam (Arctica islandica), Pickard and Bonsall (2014) suggest that the lack of these species may represent a strategy of 'least effort' collecting. It is also possible that they were deliberately avoided. ...
... Other possible jewelry items include the two types of cowrie (Trivia monacha and Trivia arctica) that occur in western Britain (Hayward et al. 1996). Cowrie shells with opposing perforations have been found on several Mesolithic sites including on Oronsay (Lacaille 1954;Mellars 1987), Carding Mill Bay (Connock et al. 1992), Ulva Cave (Russell et al. 1995), and Sand (Hardy 2009b(Hardy , 2010 while two unperforated examples were found at An Corran (Pickard and Bonsall 2013). It remains unclear whether the holes are natural or manufactured (Hardy 2010;Simpson 2003). ...

Evidence for coastal resource use, in the form of shell middens, is found in many parts of the world, including along Scotland's west coast. Scotland's seas are among the most biologically productive in the world, and their coastlines have attracted human habitation throughout the Holocene. An outstanding record of the human use of coastal resources throughout the prehistoric and historic periods has endured here through a fortunate combination of abundant caves and rockshelters, where much of the evidence is found, and a low modern population. Using a combination of radiocarbon-dating, the nature of the shell deposits, and the artifacts and ecofacts found within them, this article discusses the use of coastal and intertidal resources in the region and the way this changed through time.
... The archaeological visibility of shell middens and favourable conditions for preservation of bioarchaeological remains have led to a long and rich history of research reaching back to the 19th century (see Andersen, 2000;Dupont et al. 2007;Pickard and Bonsall, 2014). ...
... In addition, this methodological experiment should contribute to reach an understanding about the causes of the obvious variability observed in the archaeological record, in our case in a hunter-fisher-gatherer society with a subsistence based on similar resources as some coastal societies from the European Mesolithic (e.g. Ames, 2002;Pickard and Bonsall, 2014). ...
Article
This paper presents a part of an ethnoarchaeological research whose main objective is the development of methodological and conceptual instruments to advance the study of prehistoric hunter-gatherer societies. We have proposed ethnoarchaeological experimentation in order to contrast the relationship between spatial organization and social relationships for evaluate the resolution level of intra-site analysis combining the use of social categories (deriving from the socioeconomic analysis of an ethnographic documented Hunter-Gatherer society) with the systematic record recovered in a site of the same society, both from a quantitative and qualitative approach. The processes of formation of the Túnel VII site have been differentiated from the interpretation of refitting analysis and spatial distribution maps and the detailed analysis of zooarchaeological data. However, the results presented in this paper have to be contrasted with an integrated analysis of lithic and bone technology remains in order to analyse the overall distribution of by-products from production and consumption activities. Moreover, results concerning the structure of spatial data point to the need to test spatial interpolation methods designed to overcome the geostatistical restriction on the homogeneity of the surface.
... Given the ease with which both bivalve molluscs and gastropods can be captured, their abundance in many locations and their considerable food value, it is very likely that, in many places, namely in Isle of Portland (Southern England), in Algarve (Portugal), in Norsminde (Denmark), in El Collado site (Eastern coast of Spain), and many other sites along Atlantic Europe, these archaeological shells are the result of the accumulation of kitchen midden after meals made by prehistoric groups (Muckle, 1985;Mannino and Thomas, 2001;Stiner et al., 2003;Milner and Laurie, 2009;Gutiérrez-Zugasti et al., 2011;Fernández-López de Pablo and Gabriel, 2016). However, even though they are edible species, we cannot exclude other uses of these molluscs that may have been collected dead, or that, after eating the soft partsthe food, other utilizations have been given to the hard partsthe shells (Pickard and Bonsall, 2014;Callapez et al., 2016). In the context of the present work it is relevant to mention the application of cockle shells on the fresh paste of clay pottery containers, apparently for decorative purposes, a common practice among first Neolithic groups in the western Mediterranean (Diniz, 2007) and represented in Bell-Beaker culture sites along the European Atlantic coast (Prieto-Martinez and Salanova, 2009). ...
Article
The presence of cockle shells in Mesolithic and Neolithic Portuguese archaeological sites located near the coast or estuaries is relatively common. Here we report the study of a collection of complete and fractured Cerastoderma edule (Linnaeus, 1758) shells (with umbo) recovered from a well-preserved midden dated from Late Mesolithic found at the São Julião archaeological site, unit C (Mafra, Portugal). In order to interpret the main morphological alterations observed in the archaeological shells, these were compared with modern specimens from alive animals and dead molluscs present in thanatocoenosis along the Portuguese coast, and also with shells experimentally subjected to overburden in soil. It was observed that shells from dead molluscs collected in thanatocoenosis present wear all over the surface and especially in the umbo region with the formation of a hole, which was not observed in the archaeological shells. Fractured archaeological shells resembled modern shells fractured by overburden in the laboratory. Experimentally, shells were found to be very resistant to fracture, requiring high pressure to be exerted from above the burial soil in order to crack. In usual conditions, this would correspond to a layer of soil over 20 m high, much higher than conditions that existed at the São Julião archaeological site. It was concluded that cockle shells studied in the present work were collected alive and probably consumed as food. Their fracturing was post-depositional, occurred during burial and was probably determined by the pressure exerted by a house of brick and cement that had existed above the archaeological site.
... Exception faite d'une partie de la côte sud-ouest française, un grand nombre d'amas coquilliers a été mis au jour sur toute la façade atlantique, allant du nord de l'Écosse au Portugal. On les retrouve dans des contextes bien plus diversifiés que ce que l'on connait en Bretagne, avec des amas dans des grottes, en plein air sur des îles ou le long des rivières (Warren, 2012 ;Pickard et Bonsall, 2014). Leur taille est généralement plus réduite, mais le système économique reste sensiblement le même qu'à Beg-er-Vil. ...

Les macro-outils sont très peu décrits pour les industries lithiques mésolithiques du territoire français, malgré leur omniprésence dans les habitats. L’habitat côtier de Beg-er-Vil (Quiberon, Morbihan) fouillé entre 2012 et 2018 est une référence particulièrement cohérente d’un point de vue chronologique et stratigraphique pour le septième millénaire avant notre ère. Elle autorise une relecture des autres assemblages lithiques du Mésolithique atlantique, mais également des comparaisons avec les macro-outils du Néolithique récemment étudiés dans la région. Pour un total de 947 objets massifs inventoriés, émerge une série de 130 outils, dont les traces visibles à l’oeil nu ne font aucun doute et 23 outils hypothétiques nécessitant des analyses plus approfondies pour déterminer s’il s’agit de traces d’usage ou non. Neuf types d’outils ont été dégagés, hors fragments, tous divisés en un ou plusieurs sous-types. Le macro-outillage de Beg-er-Vil est très largement dominé par les percuteurs, engagés à l’évidence dans des débitages de matières minérales, mais aussi peut-être dans un concassage de matières dures animales. Suivent en nombre les galets utilisés en pièces intermédiaires très fortement percutées dans un axe longitudinal. Cet article amène à s’interroger sur l’indigence des outils massifs dans le Mésolithique de l’ouest de la France, alors que les ressources minérales adéquates sont particulièrement abondantes sur les estrans. On ne peut plus guère se réfugier derrière de possibles basculement fonctionnels vers d’autres matériaux, puisque les matières animales, bois, os ou coquilles, ne prennent pas le relai, sinon pour fournir des pioches en bois de cerf (à Téviec et Hoedic). Une large comparaison est effectuée avec d’autres zones d’Europe atlantique, à l’évidence mieux pourvues. Les enseignements en termes d’identité technique comme en termes fonctionnels peuvent en être tirés.
... Hand-collected shell assemblages are generally inadequate for a comprehensive reconstruction of palaeo-environment and past human activities because smaller specimens are likely to be overlooked (cf. Davies 2008;Evans 1972;Pickard & Bonsall 2014). However, wet sieving and flotation of excavated sediments was not regularly undertaken on many archaeological sites until the second half of the 20th century. ...

Molluscan assemblages recovered from archaeological sites can potentially provide a wealth of information about past environment and can offer an opportunity to investigate the human use of shells and shellfish. However, there are many practical and theoretical problems associated with the recovery, identification, quantification and interpretation of molluscan assemblages. Some of these issues are universal to all molluscan assemblages, others are specific to the conditions and excavation and recovery practices at individual sites. This paper discusses these problems in the context of the Lateglacial and Early to Middle Holocene sites located along the Iron Gates stretch of the River Danube in Southeast Europe. It also presents a pragmatic interpretation of the Iron Gates molluscan remains, extracting meaning from less than ideal assemblages.

During the Mesolithic in Europe, there is widespread evidence for an increase in exploitation of aquatic resources. In contrast, the subsequent Neolithic is characterised by the spread of farming, land ownership, and full sedentism, which lead to the perception of marine resources subsequently representing marginal or famine food or being abandoned altogether even at the furthermost coastal limits of Europe. Here, we examine biomarkers extracted from human dental calculus, using sequential thermal desorption- and pyrolysis-GCMS, to report direct evidence for widespread consumption of seaweed and submerged aquatic and freshwater plants across Europe. Notably, evidence of consumption of these resources extends through the Neolithic transition to farming and into the Early Middle Ages, suggesting that these resources, now rarely eaten in Europe, only became marginal much more recently. Understanding ancient foodstuffs is crucial to reconstructing the past, while a better knowledge of local, forgotten resources is likewise important today.

A significant increase in the exploitation of aquatic resources is a considerable trait of the Post-Pleistocene adaptation, which was wide spread in the Old and New World. One of its specific regional models appeared in the Sea of Azov region around 7,200-6,800 cal BC under the impacts from Caucasia and especially Zagros region of the Middle East. Here some mighty shell mounds (Razdorskaya II, Rakushechnyi Yar) were explored, with their deposition history amounting to several thousand years. These layers consist of many artifacts, faunal remains, including bones of settled and anadromous fishes. Fishery was carried out probably with use of the net and boats, with weirs in the narrow arms of Don between shoreline and islands. There are numerous pits in the foreshore zone, which apparently were used as temporary receiver of fish or midden. It is possible that the appearance of the shell mounds - These specific tells - could imply accomplishment of at least a semi-sedentary way of life and control over the most beneficial for fishing territories of the river shores and probably over stable weirs, traps, enclosures, certain stability of the economic, social system and ideology in many generations. We suppose that this economic, social and ideological model not so much promoted and accelerated Neolithisation in direction of farming society as probably braked and suspended it. A shift to the actual Neolithisation was possible only in Eneolithic, owing to the activation of external factors of historical process.

Important new seasonal evidence has been derived from the early Mesolithic site at Thatcham, Berks based upon tooth development stages in dentally immature red deer (Cervus elaphus). Radiographs and visual examination of the developing mandibular molars and premolars have been used to provide an accurate indication of age at death by comparing them with modern known age specimens. Knowledge of their age when killed indicates at what time of the year humans were present at the sites. Determining whether a site was occupied seasonally or year round is critical to subsequent interpretations of human economic and social activity. For the first time clear seasonal evidence has been derived from this important early Mesolithic site. Based on this new line of enquiry there is strong evidence for winter killing red deer at the site. The winter evidence at Thatcham may indicate presence at the site by hunters during the winter months for the express purposes of killed red deer. Alternatively, and more likely, the site was visited for a variety of economic and social purposes at all times of the year.

For the same reasons that explorers of the early twentieth century strove to reach the poles, and their modern counterparts journey to outer space, most people want to visualize the contours of the human experience - the peaks of adaptive success that led to the expansion of civilization, and the troughs in which human presence ebbed. The Backbone of History defines the emerging field of macrobioarchaeology by gathering skeletal evidence on seven basic indicators of health to assess chronic conditions that affected individuals who lived in the Western Hemisphere from 5000 BC to the late nineteenth century. Signs of biological stress in childhood and of degeneration in joints and in teeth increased in the several millennia before the arrival of Columbus as populations moved into less healthy ecological environments. Thus, pre-Colombian Native Americans were among the healthiest and the least healthy groups to live in the Western Hemisphere before the twentieth century.

Data on the ecology of limpets Patella sp, periwinkles Littorina littorea and dogwhelks Nucella lapillus have been gathered from Oronsay. Two aspects are examined: 1) seasonal changes in body weight of the species to allow a reconstruction of the food values of the middens; and 2) differences in limpet shell shape at low and high tidal levels as indicators of the area of shore from which the limpets were gathered by Mesolithic hunter-gatherers. It is suggested that the majority of midden limpets would have been gathered from the lower shore.-from Author
