Abstract Southwestern Australia has a Mediterranean-type climate, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters that support vegetation types ranging from tall closed forest and open woodland, to dense, low heath. At the Last Glacial Maximum, the coast was located as far as 100 km distant of its current location, after which rising post-glacial sea levels radically altered the southwestern coastline, drowning large tracts of the continental shelf, creating islands and rocky cliffs from areas of higher relief, and altering delicately balanced coastal ecosystems. For Aboriginal people living in southwestern Australia these changes would have substantially altered the availability and reliability of important plants and animals, both on the coastal plain and within littoral and estuarine environments, which raises the question of how we define and distinguish the economic strategies employed by people occupying these liminal, transitional landscapes. This paper reviews all available securely dated archaeofaunal records from 31 archaeological sites within the southwestern Australian coastal zone to develop a general economic model of Aboriginal occupation of the region's changing Holocene coastal zones. Faunal records were grouped by bioregion to investigate regional variation in environmental and cultural trends. Archaeological, palaeontological, and palaeoclimatic evidence indicates that people adapted as the coastal plain transformed during the Holocene, altering subsistence strategies and land management practices.

陆地、河口和海洋食物在澳大利亚西南部动态全新世环境和适应性沿海经济中的作用

摘要 澳大利亚西南部属于地中海型气候，夏季炎热干燥，冬季温和潮湿，支持植被类型，从高大的密林和开阔的林地到茂密的低矮荒地。在末次盛冰期，海岸距其当前位置最远达 100 公里，此后冰川后海平面上升彻底改变了西南海岸线，淹没了大片大陆架，从地区形成了岛屿和岩石峭壁更高的救济，并改变微妙平衡的沿海生态系统。对于居住在澳大利亚西南部的原住民来说，这些变化将极大地改变沿海平原以及沿海和河口环境中重要动植物的可用性和可靠性，这就提出了一个问题，即我们如何定义和区分占据这些边界过渡景观的人们所采用的经济策略。本文回顾了来自澳大利亚西南部沿海地区 31 个考古遗址的所有可用的安全日期古动物记录，以开发土著人占领该地区不断变化的全新世沿海地区的一般经济模型。动物记录按生物区域分组，以研究环境和文化趋势的区域变化。考古、古生物学和古气候证据表明，人们适应了全新世期间沿海平原的转变，改变了生存策略和土地管理实践。本文回顾了来自澳大利亚西南部沿海地区 31 个考古遗址的所有可用的安全日期古动物记录，以开发该地区不断变化的全新世沿海地区的原住民占领的一般经济模型。动物记录按生物区域分组，以研究环境和文化趋势的区域变化。考古学、古生物学和古气候证据表明，人们适应了全新世期间沿海平原的转变，改变了生存策略和土地管理实践。本文回顾了来自澳大利亚西南部沿海地区 31 个考古遗址的所有可用的安全日期古动物记录，以开发该地区不断变化的全新世沿海地区的原住民占领的一般经济模型。动物记录按生物区域分组，以研究环境和文化趋势的区域变化。考古学、古生物学和古气候证据表明，人们适应了全新世期间沿海平原的转变，改变了生存策略和土地管理实践。动物记录按生物区域分组，以研究环境和文化趋势的区域变化。考古学、古生物学和古气候证据表明，人们适应了全新世期间沿海平原的转变，改变了生存策略和土地管理实践。动物记录按生物区域分组，以研究环境和文化趋势的区域变化。考古学、古生物学和古气候证据表明，人们适应了全新世期间沿海平原的转变，改变了生存策略和土地管理实践。
