This study examines the small-scale coastal fisheries and the resilience of these fishing systems to global environmental changes, including changes in sea levels, land use modifications, and fluctuations in the densities of fishing stocks. This project provides longitudinal insights into the resilience of fisheries by studying the determinants of fishing behavior and outputs over the past two millennia in a coastal mangrove wetland. The research leverages diverse archaeological methods to consider multiple hypotheses for sharp declines in the productivity of the ancient fishery. More generally, the project reveals the potentially complex and dynamic relationships between ecological variables, political factors, and the culture and demography of the human populations. The archaeological methods are complemented by observations of modern fishing behavior, which provide holistic insights into the long-term resilience of past subsistence behavior. Multiple students contribute to the research, and a central aim of the project is to develop a collaborative museum exhibit that contextualizes the findings. The project also convenes a workshop to advance sustainable management of the fishery.Drawing on perspectives from human ecology, the research examines fluctuations in the productivity of a mangrove fishery as a function of multiple related variables, including intrinsic dynamic variation in the ecological structure of lagoons, the political organization of local communities, and the alternation of adjacent land for agricultural activities. Complemented by sediment cores, archaeological excavations yield diverse evidence for studying the productivity of the fishery. Radiocarbon samples establish the chronology of the site, and the remains of crustaceans and pollen and other botanical remains help to characterize ecological changes over time. Zooarchaeological analysis of middens provide insights into the varying harvests of different fish species over time. Additional analyses of ceramics and stone tools are used to assess variation in social and political variation and dynamic patterns of agricultural subsistence. Collectively, these data provide insights into the causes and consequences of changes in the productivity of small-scale fisheries. In addition to contributions to archaeological theory, the findings of this study inform management strategies of contemporary fisheries. The project also contributes to the training and educational of diverse early-career scholars.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这项研究研究了这些小型沿海渔业以及这些捕鱼系统对全球环境变化的弹性，包括海平面变化，土地利用修改以及捕鱼库存密度的波动。该项目通过研究过去两千年在沿海红树林湿地中研究渔业行为和产量的决定因素，从而为渔业的韧性提供了纵向见解。该研究利用多种考古方法考虑多种假设，以使古老渔业生产力的急剧下降。更一般而言，该项目揭示了生态变量，政治因素以及人口的文化和人口统计之间的潜在复杂而动态的关系。考古学方法是对现代捕鱼行为的观察，这为过去的生存行为的长期韧性提供了整体见解。多个学生为这项研究做出了贡献，该项目的一个核心目的是开发一个合作博物馆展览，以使发现的情况与之相关。该项目还召集了一个研讨会，以促进渔业的可持续管理。从人类生态学中汲取观点，该研究研究了红树林渔业的生产力的波动，这是多个相关变量的函数，包括Lagoons生态结构的内在动态变化，社区的政治组织，社区的政治组织，以及辅助土地上的交流。考古发掘的补充，在沉积物核心上，为研究渔业的生产力提供了不同的证据。放射性碳样品建立了该地点的年表，甲壳类动物和花粉和其他植物保留物的残留物有助于表征随着时间的流逝的生态变化。中期的动物考古学分析提供了有关随着时间的流逝，对不同鱼类种类的各种收获的见解。陶瓷和石工具的其他分析用于评估社会和政治变化的变化以及农业生存的动态模式。总的来说，这些数据提供了有关小规模渔业生产力变化的原因和后果的见解。除了对考古理论的贡献外，这项研究的结果为当代渔业的管理策略提供了依据。该项目还为多样化的早期职业学者的培训和教育做出了贡献。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准的评估来支持的。
