在考古学的背景下，了解人们如何长期获得动物作为食物和其他用途是很重要的，也可能对当代社会获得动物资源产生影响。这项研究从现有数据和博物馆收藏品中收集了70组信息，以检查明布雷斯地区考古遗址的人类人口和聚落模式、土地使用和动物遗骸的长期记录。在某些时期，人口的日益集中和越来越多的封建主义导致村庄附近的环境发生了变化，因此，获取某些资源变得更加困难。在许多人类居民离开该地区到其他地方生活的时期，一些动物种群的复苏也是显而易见的。这些长期趋势表明，不同动物物种的恢复对人类狩猎和人类景观变化的影响是巨大的。
Understanding how people maintain long-term access to animals for food and other uses is important in the context of archaeology and may also have implications for contemporary societies’ access to animal resources. This study gathers information from 70 sets derived from existing data and museum collections to examine the long-term record of human population and settlement patterns, land use, and animal remains at archaeological sites in the Mimbres area. In some periods, the increasing aggregation of the population and the increasing sedentism contributed to altered environments near the villages and for that reason, the access to certain resources became more difficult. The recovery of some animal populations is also evident during periods when many human residents left the area to live elsewhere. These long-term trends demonstrate the power of recovery of different animal species to human hunting and anthropogenic changes in the landscape.
