About this property

The Osprey Site (Smithsonian trinomial: 35CS130) is an archeological site located near Bandon, Oregon, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Associated with the Coquille people, the Osprey Site is the largest known complex of fishing weirs on the Oregon coast, encompassing over 3000 identified wooden weir stakes organized into 25 discrete weir features. The site has also yielded more split wood lattice panels than any other weir location along the Northwest coast. Radiocarbon dating suggests the site was in use possibly as early as 560 to 670 CE, and historic accounts indicate it continued in use into the 1850s.
