Abstract
  • Seal Rock (35LNC14) is a late prehistoric shell midden site located on the central Oregon coast. Information derived from the faunal remains, radiocarbon dates, and location and size of the midden deposits suggest the site represents a late littoral stage of cultural adaptation. Analyses of lithic artifacts, and bone and antler tools provide information on the technological and functional aspects of this stage of adaptation. The presence of certain varieties of projectile points, composite harpoon valves, and fishing implements compliment evidence of procurement activities provided by the recovered faunal remains. Comparisons of the Seal Rock tool assemblage with those from sites located along the southern Northwest Coast reveal that technological influences from archaeological cultures located to the north and south are present at the Seal Rock site.
