Description
Faunal information was obtained from research articles, academic dissertations and theses, and book chapters available as physical and electronic copies in institutional repositories (universities, museums, public libraries) and publishers’ websites. Whenever possible, taxonomic information was recorded to the species level, but for most sites only genus, and often classes, orders, and/or families were available. The nomenclature and ecological attributions follow the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) and Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes. Coastal and ocean ecosystems have fuelled the subsistence of people for thousands of years along the Brazilian coasts. As a result, hundreds of archaeological sites preserve information on past biological diversity of potential interest for management and conservation debates. Here, we present the occurrence of bony and cartilaginous fish, the most commonly occurring and abundant faunal remains in the archaeological sites under examination. Other organisms such as molluscs, echinoderms, crustaceans, reptiles, birds and mammals will be available in other resources (separate lists) in the platform.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 64,364 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Project Data
TRADITION is an ERC-Consolidator Grant funded research project that, since 2019, has been working to assess the long-term development of small-scale fisheries in South America, and their legacy to present day food security and poverty alleviation. Project Partners: Fisheries and Food Institute (FIFO), Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA), Centro Nacional de Pesquisa e Conservação da Biodiversidade Marinha do Sudeste e Sul (CEPSUL), Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia / UFSC (Marque/UFSC), Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR), Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia / USP (MAE/USP), Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina (Unisul), Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS), Soulfish Research & Consultancy, Universidade de São Paulo (USP), Universidade da Região de Joinville (Univille), Museu Arqueológico de Sambaqui de Joinville (MASJ), Universidade Federal de Pelotas (UFPel) e PainelMar

| Identifier | TRADITION |
| Funding | This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 817911. |
| Study Area Description | TRADITION is working on coastal areas of the three largest biomes in Brazil: Pampas, Atlantic Forest and Amazon. This coastline has supported human populations for at least the last 6,000 years, through periods of environmental and social changes. The legacy of these past populations can still be perceived in modern communities, however the fisheries and their actors have been largely neglected in the historical processes. |
| Design Description | Our interdisciplinary team is investigating the historical ecology of marine fisheries along the coast of Brazil over the last 5000 years, during major cultural and environmental changes in the region. We are uncovering the socio-ecological trajectories of small-scale fisheries, from the pre-Columbian era, through historical colonization and urbanization, and to the present day in eastern South America. |

Sampling Methods
Faunal information was obtained from research articles, academic dissertations and theses, and book chapters available as physical and electronic copies in institutional repositories (universities, museums, public libraries) and publishers’ websites. Whenever possible, taxonomic information was recorded to the species level, but for most sites only genus, and often classes, orders, and/or families were available. The nomenclature and ecological attributions follow the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) and Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes.
| Study Extent | At the moment, the study area is located between 25°S and 31.5°S latitude and encompasses nearly 1000 km of coastline between the southern Atlantic Forest and the grassland Pampa biomes. At the moment, the faunal assemblage was recovered from Middle and Late Holocene sites along the southern coast of Brazi |
|---|---|
| Quality Control | Reports were categorised according to qualitative and quantitative criteria proposed by Fossile et al. 2020: Source A (qualitative-quantitative) - presented detailed taxonomic identifications, and absolute and relative abundance for all taxa (Number of Identified Specimens (NISP) and/or Minimum Number of Individuals (MNI)); Source B (semi-quantitative) - presented detailed taxonomic identifications, and absolute and relative abundance for selected taxa; Source C (qualitative) - presented taxonomic identification with no quantitative information. |
Method step description:
- Faunal information was obtained from research articles, academic dissertations and theses, and book chapters available as physical and electronic copies in institutional repositories (universities, museums, public libraries) and publishers’ websites. Whenever possible, taxonomic information was recorded to the species level, but for most sites only genus, and often classes, orders, and/or families were available. The nomenclature and ecological attributions follow the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) and Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes. To publish on the platform, the compiled data were organized in a table as "absence" or "presence" in each mapped archaeological site.
