    Changes in the subsistence strategy of prehistoric intertidal gathering : the Pre-ceramic and Ceramic coastal hunter-gatherers of Reloncaví Sound, Chile
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2010) Flores Fernandez, Carola
    The purpose of this paper is to review the entire stratigraphic sequence of shellfish fauna! remains from five shell middens located on the Reloncaví Sound and dated from 5576 to 1825 cal. B.P. (Figure 4.1). Changes in the abundance and diversity of fauna! assemblages through time suggest a transformation of the subsistence strategies and settlement patterns in this area. Among these transformations, the marked increase of species diversity in t he upper levels containing pottery suggests a shift to a subsistence strategy based on more intense fauna! exploitation. The optima! foraging model of diet breadth is used to understand this change. By applying this model to the archaeomalacological data, we interpret the temporal variation in the array of resources consumed as linked t o changes in land use, subsistence strategies and settlement patterns.
