	title = {Archaeological Investigations at the Seal Rock Site, 35LNC14:  a Late Prehistoric Shell Midden Located on the Central Oregon Coast},
	year = {1988},
	note = {The Seal Rock shell midden is believed to mark the northernmost site occupied by the Alsea people.  The author of this thesis dates the site to the {\textquotedblleft}late littoral stage,{\textquotedblright} which began about 2,000 years before the present.  The site was occupied in the spring and summer.  The Alsea would have moved to river camps to exploit salmon runs in the fall and to their winter camps later.  In the spring, when marine mammals returned to their rookeries, the site would have been re-occupied. Stone tools, bone tools and vertebrate remains are analyzed.  Invertebrate remains were not addressed.  The thesis has an excellent ethnographic analysis giving most of what was known about the Alsea at the time.  Photographs of artifacts are included.  This Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies degree involved the departments of Anthropology, Geography and Soil Science. Major professor was Richard E. Ross.},
