15664. (Fischer, Anders et al.) The Composition of Megalithic Food: Evidence from the Submerged Settlement on the Argus Bank, Denmark [article]

A read­er sent in the paper in the cur­rent issue of Acta Archae­o­log­ica, because it seems to con­firm some of the points I made in the blog entries for Feb­ru­ary 18 and 20. It does con­firm that many oth­er sites may have been inter­preted as dom­i­nated by hunt­ing big game when they were pri­mar­ily fish­ing vil­lages. How­ever, it isn’t an exam­ple of a fish­ing vil­lage act­ing as a syn­er­getic fac­tor in neoloth­ic agri­cul­ture. I’m look­ing for­ward, opti­misti­cally, to some­thing along those lines.
