What is your definition of "prehistory"?

The "prehistoric" period is usually considered to end with the  
appearance of written records. For a considerable fraction of the  
tropical oceans (though not for the Indian Ocean), that is synonymous  
with the arrival of European contact, which can mean as late as the  
early 20th Century. Defined that way, there is extensive  
archaeological and ethnographic information on late-prehistoric  
fisheries, particularly from the tropical Pacific.
