Although seasonal periodicty in the growth of fish is reflected in the development of certain structures on their scales, the exact record of growth preserved on the scales is complicated by numerous factors. These factors are discussed, and means of accounting for their influence on archaeologically-obtained scale samples are suggested. From this discussion, an analytical approach to the study of archaeologicallyobtained fish scales is formulated which, prior to the interpretation of seasonal marks on the scales, attempts to account for the influence of the various limiting factors. This approach is then used in an attempt to infer the season of occupation of an archaeological site
