Archeological Testing for Proposed Campground Expansion, Wright Island, Isle Royale National Park (2003)
The Wright Island investigation location has been identified as a good location for a new campground. Development will involve some ground disturbance and is near the ruins of a 20th century fishery and on or near the Wright Island site (20IR181). This National Register eligible site incorporates a 19th-20th century fishery and a Terminal Woodland component dating to circa 1300 (Clark 1995: 149-152). In 1990, MWAC Archeologist Caven Clark shovel tested the flat beach area west of the ruins and...
A cod-awful smell: Novel evidence for fisheries management and land use at 17-18th century Ferryland and its social, economic, and sensorial implications (2015)
In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the Pool Plantation at Ferryland, Newfoundland was a major commercial fishing port and regional seat of power. Turbulence during the Anglo-French wars (1689-1713) resulted in the destruction of the settlement. Though the site is rich in archaeology, little evidence exists to explore how these events changed the community’s physical, economic, and social infrastructure. This poster describes an approach to identifying patterns in past land-use by...
Fishy Business: Investigations At The Fairchild Fish House, Sheboygan County, Wisconsin (2018)

Commissioned in 1620 by Sir George Calvert, later the first Lord Baltimore, the fishery played an important role as a seat of power on the island throughout the seventeenth century. The recovery of thousands of well preserved animal bones associated with the Mansion House, a building that served as the Calvert family home, and later the home of Newfoundland’s first governor, provides the...

The 1991 archeological projects on Isle Royale included the final phase of excavation at the Mott Sauna Beach site, a Terminal Woodland Juntunen phase site, which will be disturbed by the continued construction of housing units on Mott Island. In addition, the investigation of a grave-robbing incident on Cemetery Island and a number of small compliance surveys are reported as contributions towards the documentation and interpretation of Isle Royale's archeological record.
The Pound Net Stake Fishery of the Upper Great Lakes of Michigan: An Initial Exploration (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Fish, Oyster, Whale: The Archaeology of Maritime Traditions", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. People have fished the Great Lakes of the United States and Canada for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans. In the mid-nineteenth century a new way of procuring fish reached the Upper Great Lakes using pound net stakes. While historic documentation exists, little study has been conducted on the...
