Abstract
Hypotheses concerning shellfish-gathering strategies at the temporary Mesolithic camp of Morton in southeastern Scotland are developed, based on principles of time scheduling. The modelling gives prominence to the function of settlements in determining strategies appropriate to the situation. The hypotheses are tested on the data by means of stable isotope analysis of both 18 O 16 O ratios and 13 C 12 C ratios and by growth-line analysis of shell material.
