*SE Stakes and Stones: Current Archaeological Approaches to Fish Weir Research

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 89th Annual Meeting, New Orleans, LA (2024)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "*SE Stakes and Stones: Current Archaeological Approaches to Fish Weir Research" at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Mass capture strategies for fishing have been documented worldwide and in nearly every aquatic setting including riverine, estuarine, and coastal environments. In particular, fish weirs have been in use for millennia and their archaeological remains have been documented across North America, though their location, visibility, and material disposition have contributed to a lack of sustained archaeological attention. The papers in this symposium highlight recent efforts to document fish weirs in North America and situate these sites within the cultural landscape.
