Faunal development in the south-western Baltic area: Anthropogenic and natural influences

调查的目的是通过动物群遗迹了解不同石器时代聚落的环境。这些遗骸来自不同的物种，有其特殊的生态需求。然而，必须考虑到不同的物种对居民具有一定的价值，这意味着还必须考虑到古经济。根据物种和频率，可以通过比较属于主要在石器时代时期不同阶段的遗址的动物遗迹来研究动物群的发展，这些遗址将在波罗的海西南部地区挖掘。这种发展与气候变化及其对植被和景观的影响有关。就海洋脊椎动物，特别是鱼类而言，将估计海平面变化引起的盐度差异的特殊影响。

The aim of the investigations is to get knowledge about the environment of different Stone Age settlements by their faunal remains. These remains are derived from different species with their special ecological demands. However, it must be taken into account that the different species were of a certain value for the inhabitants, which means palaeoeconomy must also be taken into consideration. The development of the fauna according to species and frequencies can be studied by comparison of the faunal remains of the sites belonging to different phases mainly within the Stone Age period, which shall be excavated in the area of the south-western Baltic. This development is related to climatic alterations with their influence on vegetation and landscape. As far as marine vertebrates, especially fishes, are concerned, the special influence of differences in the salinity, which are caused by sea level changes, will be estimated.
