This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than ten thousand years, Native Americans from Alaska to southern California relied on aquatic animals such as seals, sea lions, and sea otters for food and raw materials. Archaeological research on the interactions between people and these marine mammals has made great advances recently and provides a unique lens for understanding the human and ecological past. Archaeological research is also emerging as a crucial source of information on contemporary environmental issues as we improve our understanding of the ancient abundance, ecology, and natural history of these species. This groundbreaking interdisciplinary volume brings together archaeologists, biologists, and other scientists to consider how archaeology can inform the conservation and management of pinnipeds and other marine mammals along the Pacific Coast.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Seals, Sea-Lions, and Sea Otter of the Pacific Coast: Descriptions, Life History Notes, Photographs and Drawings The adult male is about 4 feet in length and weighs up to 85 pounds; the female 4 feet and 55 pounds; the newborn young 16 to 22 inches and 3 to 5 pounds. The dark brown fur of the sea otter is 1 to 1-1/ 2 inches long with scattered guard hairs. In the adult these hairs are often black' or silver. The face is light in color, and is flatter than that of any seal. Sea otters are gregarious, and a group of a hundred or more may remain together for a long time, resting or playing near some favorite kelp bed. When the weather is mild the animals spend most of their time in the water but during storms they take refuge among the rocks along the beach. The sea otter walks clumsily on land and early fur hunters took advantage of this fact to hunt them with clubs at favorite hauling-out places in stormy weather. The large, flat molar teeth of the sea otter are distinctive, differ ing greatly from the sharply pointed molars of seals and sea-lions. Many sea otters are exceptionally tractable and will take food from the hand within a few minutes after capture. Such animals seem almost oblivious to human presence. Vocal sounds vary from the harsh kitten-like mewing of the pup to the grunts, growls, and high pitched shrieks of the adults.

This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The bones recovered from the middens of the northeastern Pacific shorelines have important stories to tell biologists, marine mammalogists, and those concerned with marine conservation. This volume unearths a wealth of information about the historical ecology of seals, sea lions, and sea otters in the North Pacific that spans thousands of years. It provides fascinating insights into how the world once looked, and how it may one day look again as seals, sea lions, and sea otters reclaim and recolonize their former haunts.”—Andrew Trites, Director, Marine Mammal Research Unit, University of British Columbia “Braje and Rick have assembled a compelling set of case studies on the long-term and complex interactions between people, marine mammals, and environments in the Northeast Pacific. The promise of zooarchaeology as historical science is on full display, as researchers use geochemistry, aDNA, morphometrics, and traditional analytic methods to address questions of utmost importance to the long-term health of coastal ecosystems. If this book doesn't convince conservation biology about the need to take the long view of animal histories and ecosystems into account in developing conservation management plans, I'm not sure what will.”—Virginia L. Butler, Department of Anthropology, Portland State University
