Abstract
Midden shell carbonate 0-18 profiles are used to estimate the month of shellfish collection. Fourteen molluscan shells from a coastal midden in Baja California were analyzed to demon-strate the potential of the technique for reconstructing settlement patterns. Ancillary information on palaeotemperatures is also recovered from the 0-18 values. -- AATA
