et al. 2007). For instance, the late Holocene marajoara culture mound builders from eastern Marajó island are undisputed evidence for ancient Amazonian complex societies (Roosevelt et al. 1991; Schaan 2004). However, the human occupation of Marajo's western part is poorly understood. Our paper reports an archaeobotanical investigation of the mid-Holocene Tucumã shell mound from western Marajó, addressing plant consumption and food production. Although there have been a few recent advances (Hilbert et al. 2017; Lombardo et al. 2020; Furquim et al. 2021), the plant component of Amazonian mid-Holocene shell mound builders' diets has yet to be understood. Shell mounds are intentional mound constructions built by pre-Columbian fishing, hunting (DeBlasis 2001) and gathering/horticultural communities (Scheel-Ybert 2003; Gaspar et al. 2008; Scheel-Ybert et al. 2010). Ranging from small mounds of two metres to larger ones up to 60 m high, they are composed of a primary layer of mollusc carapaces, fish bones, and, in some cases, human burials (Pugliese et al. 2018). Various functionalities of shell mounds have been identified, such as habitational purposes (Barbosa et al. 1994), funerary mounds (Fish et al. 2000), or monumental mounds (Fish et al. 2013). While this may be a broad classification of such occupations, it is noteworthy that shell mounds present regional-specific characteristics regarding the material culture, the constitutional structure of the sites, Communicated by W.

Nutritional label plays an important role in providing the relevant nutrition information to consumers. Inclusion of a nutritional label on food items may be an important packaging decision for the Sri Lankan food processors. Hence, a study was conducted with a view of identifying the market for nutritional labeling and the factors that influence the consumer willingness-to-pay for nutritional labeling. Data were collected from a random sample of 90 consumers selected from three supermarkets-Dhanasiri, Cargill's Food City and Royal Garden Mall-located in Kandy. Market for nutritional labeling were identified by exploring data and a logit method of analysis was performed to identify the factors that influence the willingness-to-pay for nutritional information on food items. A significantly greater proportion of individuals in the age category 36 to 50 years, individuals with tertiary education, individuals with special dietary status and households with less than four members were willing to pay more for the nutritional labels. Logit analysis showed that gender, level of education and special dietary status have a significant positive effect and the household size has a significant negative effect on the willingness to pay for nutrition information. Accordingly, it could be stated that incorporation of a nutritional panel in the package would enhance the demand for food products and it would be an appropriate strategic task for the local food processors.
