The diverse islands of Oceania are ideal locations for the study of human ecology. Here, we argue that human behavioural ecology (HBE) provides a useful theoretical framework to approach a range of topics in Pacific prehistory, including, but not limited to, subsistence, territoriality, and monumentality. We further stress that the strength of this approach lies in the use of models as heuristic devices, and that HBE is not mutually exclusive from other explanatory frameworks, but complements larger research agendas in Pacific archaeology.

“…In California and elsewhere on the North American Pacific Coast, estuarine resources were also important in early coastal economies and were part of a broadening of human use of a range of coastal habitats from the terminal Pleistocene through the Middle Holocene (Erlandson 1994;Erlandson et al 2019;Graham et al 2003;Jones & Hadick 2016;Jones et al 2019;Masters & Aiello 2007). Estuaries continued to be of importance to human subsistence economies through historic times in parts of California, but they appear to have been particularly important during the Early and Middle Holocene (especially ~9 000-5000 cal BP) when sea level rise resulted in the formation of a series of estuaries, including in the Santa Barbara Channel Region (SBC) (Erlandson 1985(Erlandson , 1994(Erlandson , 1997Glassow 1997Glassow , 2020aReeder-Myers 2014a). As Hildebrandt et al (2020) note, however, modeling of the SBC coastline demonstrates that estuaries were not ubiquitous, forming in some areas at different times.…”

Terminal Pleistocene to Middle Holocene sea level rise resulted in a number of changes to coastal ecosystems around the world, providing new challenges and opportunities for coastal peoples. In California, glacial to interglacial sea level rise resulted in some reductions in rocky shore kelp forests, but it also resulted in the formation of estuaries. Estuaries were important for terminal Pleistocene peoples in the Santa Barbara Channel region (SBC), a pattern that persisted through the Early to Middle Holocene, and sometimes later. While paleoestuaries appear to have been relatively common along the SBC mainland coast, they were rare to absent on the Channel Islands. The Abalone Rocks Paleoestuary on Santa Rosa Island is the only well documented island estuary. However, questions remain about the size and productivity of this estuary and its importance for human subsistence and settlement relative to the more extensive mainland estuaries. Faunal data from two previously unreported site components and synthesis of shellfish data from other Abalone Rocks sites and similarly aged sites near mainland estuaries illustrate the importance of SBC mainland versus island estuaries. Estuarine shellfish were considerably more abundant at most Early and Middle Holocene mainland sites, with the Abalone Rocks Paleoestuary largely supplementary to rocky shore habitats. At island estuary sites, taxonomic richness was fairly consistent during the Early to Middle Holocene, although diversity and evenness decline slightly through time, with estuarine shellfish largely disappearing from island assemblages prior to 5000 years ago. These data demonstrate the power of archaeological research to evaluate the relationships between past environmental change and human behavior.
