A Review of the Antiquity and Distribution of Intertidal Fishing Technology in Southeast Alaska and Future Research Inquiry

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Important questions related to the innovation of intertidal fishing on the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America remain, including when and where different versions of this technology were first used. This poster provides a brief overview of this phenomenon in Southeast Alaska using GIS. Additionally, we offer suggestions for future research using remote sensing and geoarchaeological methods, as well as Tlingit oral history, to investigate the antiquity of this technology and its relationship to the migration of clans, as well as changes in salmon abundance over time.
