This paper describes a study that focuses on the western Maghreb’s transition into the Roman province of Mauretania Tingitana through marine resource exploitation: fishing, fish-salting and fresh marine resource consumption. To compensate for the issues inherent within the extant relevant datasets from previous excavations, this study applies an integrated methodology of investigation using a combination of archaeological and descriptive material: marine animal remains, fishing equipment, fish-salting sites, kilns and finds of salazón amphorae and written sources, tituli picti, pictorial representations and ethnography. As an example of the ensuing enquiry, the analysis of the case-study site of Lixus is summarised. When contextualised within a reconstructed littoral space, the combined data have the potential to provide a more complete and nuanced history regarding the use of past resources, ancient foodways, and human relations and interactions with the marine environment.

探究方法：重建西马格里布古代海洋资源开发

本文介绍了一项研究，该研究侧重于西马格里布通过海洋资源开发向罗马毛里塔尼亚廷吉塔纳省的过渡：捕鱼、腌制鱼类和新鲜海洋资源消耗。为了弥补先前发掘的现存相关数据集中的固有问题，本研究采用了一种综合调查方法，结合考古和描述性材料：海洋动物遗骸、捕鱼设备、鱼类腌制地点、窑炉和萨拉松双耳瓶的发现和书面资料、tituli picti、图画表现和民族志。作为随后调查的一个例子，总结了对 Lixus 案例研究地点的分析。当在重建的滨海空间中进行语境化时，
