About this title

Synopsis

This largely unaltered thesis contributes to our knowledge of the coastal exploitation of south-east Arabia over a long period of time. Mark Beech draws on evidence from 23 assemblages to investigate fish exploitation patterns and to model and interpret regional variability of the types of sites and assemblages revealed. The influence of the environment and space, and the seasonal use of coastal resources, are discussed and Beech also assesses evidence for possible fish processing, storage and trade activities.
