Suzanne,
The Steamboat Bertrand had at least two cases of preserved cod; there should be information in: Klippel, W.E. and C.R. Falk, 2002, "Atlantic Cod in the Missouri River: Gadus morhua from the Steamboat Bertrand." Archaeofauna 11:23-44.
There is also some information on element representation for preserved mackerel at historic sites in: Klippel, W.E. and J.A. Sichler 2004, "North Atlantic Fishes in Inland Context: Pickled Mackerel (Scomber scombrus) in the Historic Period. Historical Archaeology 38(4):12-24. This should be available at sha.org

Subject: [ZOOARCH] element representation in deposits of (nearly) whole fish
Hi Zooarchers,
We are looking for fish cranial element representation data from archaeological assemblages that involve deposits of whole (but not necessarily articulated) fish heads (with or without associated vertebral column), or of mostly whole fish lacking specific known elements.
We are restricting this search to material that does not relate to either stock-fish or fish sauce. So for our purpose, examples could include the following: preserved herring, preserved mackerel, waste at dried fish production sites, entire catches that were simply buried.
We are already aware of the following:
Selsø-Vestby
Sint-Hieronymusdal
Biddinghuizen
Raversijde
Do any of you know of additional published assemblages?
Best wishes,
Suzanne
