Abstract

The Chesapeake Bay has an archaeological record that dates from the Paleoindian period to the early 20th century. In this paper, the research and analysis of artifact technologies recovered from six radiocarbon (14C) dated shell middens located at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center in Maryland is provided. This paper demonstrates the ways in which the use of artifact analysis and 14C dating can provide information on human use of coastal resources, settlement-subsistence patterns, and serve as a tool to document sites threatened by coastal processes. Furthermore, this work demonstrates the ways in which the analysis of technologies from shell midden sites can be used to help guide contemporary oyster and other fisheries and natural resources management, restoration, conservation, and sustainability issues in the Chesapeake and other coastal areas.

美国切萨皮克湾的壳牌钻井和人类技术作为历史基线

切萨皮克湾的考古记录可以追溯到古印第安时期到20世纪初。本文对位于马里兰州史密森尼环境研究中心的6个放射性碳(14C)定年贝壳贝的人工制品技术进行了研究和分析。本文展示了使用人工制品分析和14C定年方法可以提供关于人类利用沿海资源、定居-生存模式的信息，并作为记录受沿海过程威胁的遗址的工具。此外，这项工作还展示了如何利用贝壳堆遗址的技术分析来帮助指导切萨皮克和其他沿海地区的当代牡蛎和其他渔业和自然资源管理、恢复、保护和可持续性问题。

期刊介绍： Published quarterly, this is the only general journal dedicated solely to North America—with total coverage of archaeological activity in the United States, Canada, and Northern Mexico (excluding Mesoamerica). The North American Archaeologist surveys all aspects of prehistoric and historic archaeology within an evolutionary perspective, from Paleo-Indian studies to industrial sites. It accents the results of Resource Management and Contract Archaeology, the newest growth areas in archaeology, often neglected in other publications. The Journal regularly and reliably publishes work based on activities in state, provincial and local archaeological societies.
