Ancient Fish Trap on Exhibit in Juneau

SHI is co-sponsoring an exhibit at the Juneau-Douglas City Museum of an ancient fish trap discovered in 1991. The basketry-style fish trap was excavated from Montana Creek in Juneau and radiocarbon dated between 500-700 years old. Basketry fish traps are rarely found and little local archaeological material can be seen on exhibit in the capital city.  The museum is located at 4th and Main Streets. The fish trap will be on permanent display.   Click any photo to enlarge. Use your browser's back button to return.
