The archaeology of shellfishing practices on Ua Huka, Marquesas Archipelago (French Polynesia)
Abstract Shellfish remains are ubiquitous to coastal archaeological sites in the Marquesas but have seldom been the focus of dedicated investigations into their contribution to past diet and daily life. On the island of Ua Huka, in the northern group of the archipelago, people have consumed a variety of shellfish since their arrival on the island ...
