Shell Midden Research and Prehistoric Coastal Settlement Patterns in the San
Juan Islands, Washington

Amanda K. Taylor, Julie K. Stein, and Stephanie A.E. Jolivette, University
of Washington

In this paper we present the results of radiocarbon dating of shells from
auger samples collected during an auger survey of shell middens in San Juan
County and western Skagit County, WA conducted from 2005-2008.   By
integrating faunal and paleoenvironmental data with settlement pattern
results, we present hypotheses regarding the development of a more sedentary
lifeway associated with the beginnings of social complexity on the Northwest
Coast.  We also discuss similarities and differences between settlement
patterns proposed for the San Juan Islands with those for adjacent regions.
