Immediate replacement of fishing with dairying by the earliest farmers of the NE Atlantic archipelagos
The appearance of farming, from its inception in the Near East around 12 000 years ago, finally reached the northwestern extremes of Europe by the fourth millennium BC or shortly thereafter.

An integrated approach to the taxonomic identification of prehistoric shell ornaments
Shell beads appear to have been one of the earliest examples of personal adornments. Marine shells identified far from the shore evidence long-distance transport and imply networks of exchange and negotiation. However, worked beads lose taxonomic clues to identification, and this may be compounded by taphonomic alteration. Consequently, the significance...Demarchi, Beatrice ; O'Connor, Sonia ; Ponzoni, Andre de Lima ; Ponzoni, Raquel de Almeida Rocha ; Sheridan, J A …
