The research team at York University and Bradford University conducted a analysis of 133 pottery dating back to about 4000 BC.
Accordingly, the remnants of many marine species have shown that fish and shellfish such as shrimp, crabs, oysters and mussels continue to be popularly used after humanity has moved from hunting and gathering. to livestock farming.
While many previous evidence has demonstrated that human diets have changed dramatically during the period when agriculture has become widely available, the results of this study indicate otherwise.
'The information from the remaining pieces of pottery shows that the Neolithic diet is not entirely dependent on what humans cultivate on the ground' , the study's lead author, Oliver Craig (University York) said.

About one-fifth of the pots appear in coastal areas that contain various traces of marine life, including fats and oils - substances that are not found in animals and plants grown by humans. grow.
'This study provides evidence that people near the Baltic Sea continue to exploit available sea and freshwater resources despite the disintegration of hunter-gatherers' , Dr. Craig added. 'Different from what we thought before, although agriculture has grown rapidly in this area, it cannot significantly change people's natural dependence on life'.
The findings are published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
