ABSTRACT

During the summers of 1972 and 1974 excavations were conducted at the Seal Rock site (35LNC14) under the direction of R, E. Ross. The site was excavated as part of a regional research plan to increase our knowledge about subsistence strategies and prehistoric lifeways of human inhabitants of the central Oregon coast, a relatively unexplored region archaeologically at the time (Ross 1975). After excavations had been completed, analyses of samples of the recovered pinniped and fish remains were reported (Snyder 1978; Zontek 1983). Until my work (Clark 1988), the artifacts remained unanalyzed and unreported.
