Prehistoric Shellfish Preservation and Storage on the Northeast Coast
1988
Recently, there has been an exchange in the archaeological literature of the Northeast coast regarding the interpretation of some Northeastern coastal shell middens as resulting from the intensive exploitation and preservation of shellfish resources. This article examines both sides of this exchange critically. It is concluded that, while the ethnohistoric evidence supports interpretations of prehistoric preservation and storage, archaeological evidence for these practices will be difficult to discern.
