“…Water availability can also be an important factor influencing seasonal human behaviour, particularly in arid or semi-arid locations. In Mediterranean environmental zones, for example, freshwater undergoes predictable seasonal fluctuations, with winters typically cool and wet and summers usually warm and dry [331,198]. While longer-term droughts are more readily visible in palaeobotanical and isotopic data from lake sediments (see chapter 7), seasonal variability in freshwater can have tremendous effects on settlement patterns, including site distributions and mobility patterns.…”

“…Nonetheless, other factors, such as internal circumstances (reproduction, gender reversal, migration, sexual maturity) and external circumstances (food or water abundance, water quality, salinity), are also linked to the development of growth rings in fish (Vitale et al, 2019). In tropical fish, the alternation of dry and rainy seasons may have a greater impact (Gabriela et al, 2021). Based on the principles of growth-ring formation, contemporary fisheries science typically uses marginal analysis to determine fish age and examine fish growth, generally using fish scales and oto-liths.…”

“…However, since the formation of annual rings is influenced by various factors such as fish species, gender, collection location, and water conditions, it is crucial to conduct detailed studies on the fish fauna and resource status of the site area (Casteel, 1972). Additionally, it is important to study the growth patterns of annual rings in relevant living fish species, especially in otoliths and vertebrae, to provide a reliable basis for determining the age and season of death of fish remains excavated from archaeological sites (Walters, 1992;Van Neer et al, 1999;Gabriela et al, 2021).…”

The transition of human societies from high mobility to sedentary lifestyles had a profound impact on subsistence, technology, and the origin of civilization. Sedentism was influenced by various factors such as climate change, population growth, resource pressure, and technological innovation. The Tibetan Plateau, due to its alpine and hypoxic conditions, is an ideal region to study human adaptation to extreme environments. However, the prehistoric process of sedentism on the Tibetan Plateau is unclear and the chronological sequence and driving mechanism of sedentism on the Tibetan Plateau are still controversial. Previous studies have focused on the diffusion of agriculture from low to high elevation areas, with little attention given to the role of animal resources in sedentism. Seasonality analysis using animal remains is crucial in determining whether a site was occupied year-round. To establish the seasonal calendar of animal resource utilization, it is recommended to create a database of skeletal morphology, whole genome, and proteome of contemporary Tibetan Plateau fauna to aid in the identification of animal remains from archaeological sites. Thus, intricate web of human-animal-environment relationship and the role of animal resources in human sedentism on the Tibetan Plateau can then be evaluated.

“…Itano (1995) and (Barocas et al, 2021) found that the spawning and fishing season for yellowfin tuna in Hawaiian waters occurs from April to September, in Philippine waters occur from March to December (Rola et al, 2018), and in the Pacific waters occur in July, August, and September (Kikawa, 1962;Macusi et al, 2021). Furthermore, in the eastern Pacific waters, the spawning and fishing season occur in January-March (Joseph, 1963;Calderwood et al, 2021), waters near the Hawaiian Islands, the spawning and fishing season occurs from June to December (Richard and Simmons, 1971;Duarte et al, 2018;Miyamoto et al, 2019), and the spawning and fishing season for yellowfin tuna in the Andaman sea takes place from November to April (John, 1995;Gabriela et al, 2021;Owusu et al, 2020;Yıldız et al, 2020). The peak season for fish spawning and fishing in the Indian Ocean occurs in April and August (Hutapea et al, 2006;Widodo and Suwarso, 2005).…”

Large pelagic fish live on the water surface in groups. Skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis), yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), mackerel tuna (Euthynnus affinis), mackerel (Scomberomous guttatus) are species of fishes that mainly catches by fishermen using purse seines. This study aims to determine the length and weight of large pelagic fish in the water of Idi Rayeuk and best the fishing season. This research was conducted in one month. Fish samples were collected from fishermen that used purse seine and landed their catches at the Idi Rayeuk Fishing Port, East Aceh. Additionally, the data was derived from the fishing port time-series during 2015 to 2019. The result showed that the yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) has a length between 37 - 58 cm with a weight of 1.0 - 3.2 kg, skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) 32 - 58 cm in length and weight 0.5 - 3.0 kg, mackerel tuna has 33 - 54 cm of length with a weight of 0.6 - 2.5 kg, and mackerel has 44 - 66 cm of length and weighing 0.7 - 1.7 kg. Its also found that the peak season for catching yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and mackerel tuna is May and June, and the lowest season in December for the yellowfin tuna, and December and January for the mackerel tuna. The peak season for skipjack fishing occurs in May, August, and October, and the low season occurs in November and December. Meanwhile, the peak season for fishing mackerel occurs in May, September, and October, while the low season occurs in January, February, and March.Keywords:Fishing seasonLarge pelagicPurse seineIdi RayeukAceh
