The excavation of shell middens and mounds is an important source of information regarding past human diet, settlement, technology, and paleoenvironments.

The contributors to this book introduce new ways to study shell-matrix sites, ranging from the geochemical analysis of shellfish to the interpretation of human remains buried within.

Drawing upon examples from around the world, this is one of the only books to offer a global perspective on the archaeology of shell-matrix sites.
