“…It is tempting to interpret this sub-phase as a period of dynamic equilibrium, in which human population growth was continuously inhibited by carrying capacity. Aligned with this interpretation, independent evidence suggests a degree of resource depletion through increasing hunting pressure on key medium-sized ungulates throughout the Mesolithic period 63 , as well as reduction on size and age distributions of marine gastropods 51 and bivalves 61 .…”

“…In the Western Mediterranean, recent studies have investigated human-environmental interactions during the prehistoric period (e.g. Dolez et al, 2015;Currás et al, 2017;Fontana et al, 2017;Vacchi et al, 2017;Melis et al, 2018). However, the low preservation of Early Holocene coastal sites as well as the paucity of integrated research programs correlating archaeological and palaeoenvironmental records, have prevented the answering of this question.…”

“…Over the last decades human adaptation to coastal environments has gained increasing consideration in debates around cultural variability and subsistence strategies among Late Pleistocene and Holocene foraging societies in the Mediterranean. The nature of these interactions varied from food provision to raw materials for symbolic/communication systems (shell ornaments), and likely responded to interplaying cultural and natural factors such as regional variability in marine productivity, environmental and climate changes and a variety of cultural interactions across the basin over time (Tagliacozzo, 1994;Tortosa et al, 2002;Stringer et al, 2008;d'Errico et al, 2009;Colonese et al, 2011;Cortés-Sánchez et al, 2011;Lightfoot et al, 2011;Mannino et al, 2011b;Mylona, 2014;López de Pablo et al, 2016;Perlès, 2016;Prendergast et al, 2016;Ramos-Muñoz et al, 2016;Hoffmann et al, 2018).…”
