摘要：

Later Stone Age shellfishing behaviour was analysed within a unique archaeological context using computer aided spatial analysis techniques. The young age, the short occupation and large excavated area of the site 'Dunefield Midden' (Western Cape, South Africa) made it an ideal candidate for the investigation of patterns within shellfish distributions. A model describing the factors involved in causing shellfish patterning on archaeological sites was developed and used as a guide for the interpretation of the analyses. Human behaviour was successfully identified to have produced patterns in the shellfish distributions providing a new understanding of the practices of the prehistoric inhabitants. All results were summarized in a model of shellfishing behaviour at 'Dunefield Midden'. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
