Abstract

Assumptions concerning Middle Woodland (A.D. 1–1000) settlement and subsistence patterns in the Delaware Valley are based largely upon the presumed exploitation of the upstream migration of adult anadromous fish. This relatively narrow perception of the migratory fish resource is incomplete and should be expanded to include not only other phases of anadromous fish life cycles but other migratory fish as well. Archaeological, biological, and experimental data are combined to offer a holistic representation of the migratory fish resource in the Delaware Valley during the Middle Woodland period and its impact on our understanding of Middle Woodland life.
