I think fish traps is a cert, as all it would take would be careful placement of rocks to trap fish as the tide went out, like an artificial rock pool. Such things are found in a few old-style cultures around the globe, so it's likely to be a very ancient practice.

Oyster beds might be a bit different, I have no idea how shellfish behave. I do know that if I were subsisting on a beach, I'd rather know where I had a reliable supply of shellfish, preferably in a nice sheltered spot. I might even go so far as to try and enhance a natural feature or two to encourage the oysters to move in. It would make it much easier to build a midden if you had a handy oysterfarm nearby.

I guess we'll never know, as the sites would presumably be quite far out to sea by now.

All of mankind, will have hugged the coastline.
Fish, and how to catch them, will have been paramount.
Bait, the trap, a little bit of enticement needed.
If the fish Smells the bait, you have him.
They say" fish is good for the brain"
Strange, how all women love fish?
Men can take or leave it.
Women, must take over again, they ARE brainier.
