Description

Shells (Cambridge Manuals in Archaeology) provides an authoritative and clear guide for students, professional archaeologists, and palaeontologists. Written by Cheryl Claassen, this text serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding the role of molluscs in the archaeological record. The book examines the history of archaeological interest in shells and covers the biology of both marine and freshwater molluscs. By drawing on global examples from prehistoric to historic periods, Claassen addresses fundamental research questions such as whether shell deposits are natural or cultural in origin. Readers will gain a deep understanding of how shells can reveal environmental characteristics and how long these specimens typically last in the archaeological record.
