Zooarchaeological Implications for Prehistoric Distributions of Seabirds along the Norwegian Coast
Northern gannets Sula bassana and northern fulmars Fulmarus glacialis were first documented to breed in Norway during the present century. Skeletal remains of gannets and fulmars uncovered at Norwegian archaeological sites have been dated from c7000-800 BP and from 30 000-400 BP respectively. Most g...
