period, an adaptively—and perhaps ethnically—distinctive population inhabited year-round—and moved within—the coastal zone, interacting with a separate population inhabiting the interior (cf. Deal, this volume; Petersen and Cowie, this volume). My analysis below is consistent with the two-population model, in part because of practical problems in inferring seasonal rounds involving coastal–interior transhumance from archaeological evidence in the Maine/Maritimes area. For example, the Charlotte County Archaeological Site Inventory (Blair and Black 1993), which includes the shorelines of the Canadian part of the Quoddy Region and the Grand Manan Archipelago, contains approximately 200 registered sites. At least 40 percent of these sites contain prehistoric components (most dating to the Maritime Woodland period). Ninety-five percent of the sites are located on, or immediately adjacent to, marine shorelines; less than 5 percent (
site. Middle Maritime Woodland occupations took place in all seasons, but evidence for cold season occupations predominate. The Partridge Island site also contains a twentieth century occupation, probably representing weir-tending activities, restricted to the active soil layer at the surface (scA). The Late Maritime Woodland occupation at Partridge Island (sc3) was not recognized as a separate cultural component during the excavation and initial analyses of the site (e.g., Bishop and Black 1988). It was subsequently recognized because of similarities to the Late Maritime Woodland component at the Weir site (MacDonald 1994). The component consists of a substantial living floor and associated pit features in the central part of the site (Unit 4), and a gravel and black soil living floor beneath a peat deposit in Unit 1 at the shoreward edge of the site. The assemblage includes a few shards of shell-tempered, cord-wrapped stick-impressed ceramics (Bishop 1994:21-22) and a few flakes of probably exotic chert (MacDonald 1994:97-100). Faunal preservation is poor in Unit 1 due to the acidity of the peat soil and the near absence of shellfish remains (Black 1993:45); however, codfish (Gadidae) and herring (Clupeidae) bones associated with this component in Unit 4 suggest the Late Maritime Woodland occupations took place during the warm seasons (Black 1993:85) (Table 16.2). While season-of-death analysis of soft-shelled clam valves indicates that shellfishing was mainly a winter/spring activity at Partridge Island, there is some indication of warm season shellfishing in sc3 (Black 1992:89, 1993:142). Late Maritime Woodland pit features were excavated into the Middle Maritime Woodland shell middens (see Bishop and Black 1988:27; Black 1991:210), a practice that may have incorporated earlier faunal remains into the later component, complicating seasonality interpretations. The Weir Site The Weir site (Black 1985:41-48, 1987:7, 1988:13-17, 1992:35-38, 65-78) is similar to the Partridge Island site in terms of structure and chronology; however, the near-surface layers of the Weir site are better preserved because the site is sealed beneath a 10-30 cm deep peat deposit, most of which has not been disturbed by Figure 16.3. Partridge Island site: stratigraphy/chronology/seasonality schematic (adapted from Bishop and Black 1988). Vertical columns show how noncontiguous excavation units intersect stratigraphic units (stippled horizontal bars).
