“…Many of the most socially complex hunter-gatherer adaptations were based on the sea (Rowley-Conwy 1984;Yesner 1980;Fitzhugh 2022). With the onset of farming, the reliance on fishing declined rather suddenly in several regions including Atlantic Europe, Greece, Korea, and Japan (Richards et al 2003;Cramp et al 2014;Berg 2013;Hudson 2021aHudson , 2022bKim & Seong 2022). It is unclear to what extent this was a general trend across Eurasia.…”

“…Japan also saw an overall decline in the use of fish and other marine resources when cereal farming arrived in the Bronze Age Yayoi period (1000 bc -ad 250) (Hudson 2019(Hudson , 2021a(Hudson , 2022b. However, a rich archaeological record from the Japanese Islands enables us to separate out two economic patterns at this time.…”

The Bronze Age was a time of pivotal economic change when new long-distance trading networks became associated with a macro-regional division of labour and decentralised political complexity. These developments occurred against the background of a shifting mosaic of subsistence patterns, which included the east-west exchange of crops across Eurasia and (in some areas) greater use of secondary products. As Bronze Age economies became more specialised and diverse, it might be assumed that there was also an increased emphasis on the procurement and trade of fish and other marine resources. However, archaeological analyses of such resources are limited in contrast to land-based subsistence patterns and many questions remain. This essay aims to build a broad interpretive framework for analysing the role of marine resources in the Bronze Age. Our provisional results find that an increased emphasis on specialist systems of agropastoralism reduced the use of marine resources in many parts of Eurasia during this period. However, evidence from Japan and the eastern Mediterranean suggests that, at least in some regions, marine resources became commodities traded over long-distances by the late Bronze Age, though this requires further quantification. Island Southeast Asia displays a different pattern from other regions considered here in a greater continuity of marine resource use from the Neolithic into the historic era, perhaps due to a lower reliance on agropastoralism.

“…The advancement of Japan's MF has a long history, and the industry is one of the pillar industries of the country's marine economy [6]. Japan is located in the northwest Pacific Ocean, close to the Hokkaido fishing grounds, which is one of the three major fishing grounds in the world [7,8], and it is rich in fishery resources. Aquatic products have also been among the essential food sources of the Japanese nation since ancient times [9,10].…”

This study attempts to examine the convergence development of the marine fishery (MF) and marine tourism (MT) industries of Japan through the theory of industrial relevance. First, the current MF and MT situation in Japan is introduced to analyze the mechanism of the integration of the two industries. Second, a Vector Autoregression Model (VAR) is built to examine the relationship between MF and MT. In addition, the shock potential contributions of the MF and MT industries are identified using impulse response and variance decomposition. Results show that the impact of MF on MT is more significant than that of MT on MF. However, the interaction between MF and MT tends to stabilize in the long run. Third, the industrial integration case of Japan’s Himakajima Island is selected to analyze the MF and MT integration mechanism. The integration of MF and MT can reduce transaction costs, make full use of labor, and promote the development of the local economy. Therefore, attention should be paid to the integration of the MF and MT industries, rather than partial implementation, to balance the development of the marine economy. Finally, relevant suggestions and measures are presented for marine industry transformation and upgrading, industrial integration, and green ecological development.

Shell Midden Archaeology: Current Trends and Future Directions

Since the 19th century, the study of shell middens has played an important role in archaeological research. Shell midden and broader coastal archaeology have transformed our understanding of human relationships with aquatic habitats, demonstrating the importance of marine environments to human evolution and ecology, the colonization of islands and establishment of maritime trade networks, changing social and political dynamics, and a variety of other issues. During the past two decades, shell midden research has greatly increased, marking an exciting time for new discoveries and heightened collaboration with Indigenous communities. Several key research trends in shell midden archaeology during the past 10–15 years include research on site distribution and temporality, underwater archaeology, historical ecology, terraforming, landscape legacies, and community collaboration. These research trends demonstrate the ways in which shell midden archaeologists are shaping our understanding of the human past and environmental change around the world.
