摘要：Given the speed at which marine ecosystems are being degraded, it is increasingly important that we
draw on our knowledge of ancient practices of both marine exploitation and management. Access to
archaeological shell middens, which contain evidence of past subsistence patterns and the long history
of human interaction with marine ecosystems, positions archaeologists to contribute important insights
into successful management practices and the costs of mismanagement or overexploitation at great
temporal depth. These deep historical perspectives are crucial to understanding the past, present, and
future of marine environments. We describe ongoing work by University of Oregon archaeologists to
develop deep historical data sets against which to measure the health of our marine ecosystems and to
develop protocols for future conservation efforts.
