Although the sight is located on the Ohio River, it is doubtful to say which technique of fishing was most prevalent in Proctorville, Ohio.
Few artifacts can be identified as clear evidence for any kind of fishing.
Leads us to believe that other techniques of fishing were being used for which we do not have evidence.
Fishing was supplemental due to lack of tools found for mass amount of fishing.
