	abstract = {<p>Many archaeologists consider intensification of salmon production to be the single most important factor in the evolution of Northwest Coast cultural complexity. One mass harvesting technique, the use of wood stake fishing weirs, is well represented in the archaeological record in both southeast Alaska and coastal British Columbia. Radiocarbon dates from ten Alaskan fish weirs are presented and two weirs from Admiralty Island are described in detail. Weir fishing in the northern Northwest Coast has an antiquity of at least 3,000 years and continued into the historic period. To our knowledge, none of British Columbia\&$\#$39;s numerous fish weirs has yet been dated. Such data would enhance our understanding of this important cultural development in various areas of the Northwest Coast.</p>},
