What is The Great Auk and the Gannet: a Prehistoric Perspective on the Extinction of the Great Auk about?
## Abstract Archaeological finds of the great auk, __Alca impennis__, and the northern gannet, __Sula bassana__, from prehistoric and historic coastal sites around the British Isles show the earlier distribution of these birds. They suggest that the great auk bred more widely in the eastern Atlantic than on the few breeding sites which are attested historically. Comparison between the two species suggests that the method of exploitation as well as the biology and behaviour of each contributed to the extinction of the former and the survival of the latter.
