Section 106 and Fish Weirs: Recent Examples

Summary

This is an abstract from the "*SE Stakes and Stones: Current Archaeological Approaches to Fish Weir Research" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

A recent resurgence in fish weir research has revealed limitations in the NRHP evaluation of such sites. With few weirs having been directly dated, and with a general lack of excavation of associated processing sites, it is often difficult to define the chronological context needed for a proper evaluation. In addition, as Section 106 areas of potential effect generally stop at the river's edge, there are few professionally recorded fish weirs for comparative purposes. Examples from recent projects in North Carolina and Maryland are discussed.
