Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the influences of North Carolina's historic dolphin fishery at Hatteras and how it changed over time. Little research has been conducted to date and only echoes of the dolphin fishery's history and archaeology still exist. Preliminary historical records, material culture, and archaeological sites related to the dolphin fishing industry of North Carolina suggests a study of the influences that led to its origin, development, and decline is possible. By analyzing artifacts and materials using Schiffer's behavioral chain model, it may be possible to shed light on an overlooked area of North Carolina's maritime archaeology and history.
