ERC TRADITION

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... We are based in the Department of Prehistory Abre en nueva ventana and the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA)Abre en nueva ventana at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (Spain) and in the Department of Archaeology at the University of York Abre en nueva ventana(UK)... 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.
