Abstract
Humans have modified coastlines in a variety of ways and for a variety of reasons throughout much of history. Some of the earliest modifications were nothing more than re-arranging boulders along a rocky coast to trap fish during tidal variations, building mounds in coastal swamps and marshes and creating middens along the shore (Fig. 1). For example, shell middens dating back to the last interglacial are present along the coast of South Africau[1] and underwater cameras have recently (2000) photographed remains of a dwelling site at 91 m deep on the bottom of the Black Sea[2].
