Seals and Walrus in Coastal Gulf of Maine Prehistory The archaeological record of Native American coastal hunting and fishing is contained primarily in shell middens where bone preservation is excellent. Because of coastal subsidence and erosion, however, this record only covers the Late Archaic and Ceramic periods: the last 5000 years. The author first discusses the nature of bone preservation in coastal sites and the identification and differentiation of pinniped species and then reviews the sites that have yielded seal or walrus bones, their age and cultural identification.
