The paper, “A Tool for Understanding Taskscapes in Stone Age Coastal Hunter-Fisher-Gatherer Societies: Theoretical Aspects of Building a Relational Database (NAUTICC) for Large-Scale Analysis”, presents the theoretical and methodological foundations of NAUTICC (Norms and Uses of Techniques in Prehistoric Coastal Communities), a relational database developed to support the study of taskscapes in prehistoric coastal hunter-fisher-gatherer societies. It discusses how archaeological evidence can be systematically organised and connected to broader interpretative concepts such as tasks, taskscapes and techniques. The database follows a find-oriented approach, linking material evidence to interpretative categories and enabling data to be analysed across different geographical and chronological contexts.
NAUTICC is currently being implemented for prehistoric coastal hunter-fisher-gatherer communities in three of the ArCHe regions of study: Brittany (France), southeastern Norway and coastal Latvia. The development of NAUTICC forms part of DC5 ("For a history of maritime techniques in Europe: Norms and uses of techniques in prehistoric coastal communities"), a project investigating the technical ways in which coastal communities of hunter-fisher-gatherers interacted with and inhabited the landscape.
