	abstract = {<p>Four intertidal archaeological sites near Petersburg, southeast Alaska, are described and compared to shed light on how such features functioned. The Sandy Beach, Woody Island, McDonald Arm, and Blind Slough sites contain wood-stake and rock alignments representing the remains of fish traps. Each trap consists of two leads funneling into a circular or heart-shaped\&$\#$39; enclosure. Multiple fish species, including salmon, were likely harvested. The technology was employed for centuries, between 1,100 and 2,300 years ago. While hundreds of sites with intertidal wood-stake and rock alignments have been recorded at coastal sites in Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and southeast Alaska, few display evidence of an enclosure. The Petersburg sites allow more detailed inspection of prehistoric fishing technology in the Northwest Coast culture area, and may help explain how intertidal wood-stake and rock alignments functioned at other sites where only fragments of the leads remain.\&$\#$39;</p>},
