This article addresses the question of the production of locally processed and imported marine products in the Aegean through time, utilising zooarchaeological evidence combined with various other records when available. What is clear from this overview is that Aegean populations were familiar with processing techniques from as early as the Mesolithic period. Despite evidence for more intensive exploitation and preservation of marine resources at specific times and in specific areas, aimed at maximising the returns from seasonally abundant catches, in general preserved marine products seem to have been of limited significance to Aegean communities and they probably never constituted a significant part of the Aegean diet.

加盐还是不加盐：爱琴海加工海产品和地方传统的证据回顾

本文利用动物考古证据与其他各种可用记录相结合，解决了爱琴海当地加工和进口海产品的生产问题。从这个概述中可以清楚地看出，爱琴海居民早在中石器时代就熟悉加工技术。尽管有证据表明在特定时间和特定区域对海洋资源进行了更密集的开发和保护，旨在最大限度地提高季节性丰富的渔获物的回报，但总体而言，保存的海产品似乎对爱琴海社区的意义有限，而且它们可能从未构成爱琴海饮食的重要组成部分。
