dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study is to examine ex situ material culture associated with North Carolina shore whaling in an attempt to clarify, contest, or confirm the nature of the industry as it existed on the coast of North Carolina. Previous research on the subject reveals a fragmented history with more questions than answers. The paucity of in situ archaeological signatures found in the shifting sands of the Outer Banks makes an ex situ material culture study particularly important. By locating, examining, and geospatially analyzing artifacts associated with North Carolina shore whaling it may be possible to answer a few of the questions and perhaps provide better places to look for the answers.
