| Notes | Good review of present understanding of archeology of the Minard (Grays Harbor), Par-Tee (Necanicum), Palmrose (Necanicum) and Netarts sites. Table 8.2 lists marine mammal remains by location. BW photographs show harpoon points, valves and atlatl handles from the Par-Tee site. Table 8.3 gives abundance of fish remains from the Minard and Netarts sites by species and month of the year. "When the faunal assemblage from Netarts is viewed as a whole, pinnipeds and sea otters were clearly part of a meat diet that included a wide array of species... Overall though, both the fish and shellfish assemblages from the site indicate a focus on the species inhabiting Netarts lagoon." (p.176) |
