摘要: ABSTRACTA vibrant artisanal fishery of the brackish water marsh clam (Polymesoda acuta) is located in lower Rio Tempisque, Costa Rica. Fishermen harvest clams from shoals according to tidal and lunar cycles. They take most directly riverside processing stations be cooked sold as salted meat, although some are dried, others live. Processing activities result formation shellmounds that share significant similarities differences with ancient coastal Chiapas, Mexico. In this study, procurement described quantified, revealing substantial amount labor skill involved modern fishery. Implications for archaeological preservation predictions optimal foraging theory evaluated.
