Sommario/riassunto

This book is the first synthesis of the prehistory of the coast of Oregon. It analyzes the artifacts and mammalian faunal remains of three representative sites on the coast. A model of the evolution of cultural adaptational strategies is presented and tested, from which it creates a



model of coastal cultural development. On a methodological level, the volume examines the overriding importance and effects of various sampling techniques.
