- Title
Sea-levels and Archaeology in the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve.
- Authors
Fedje, Daryl W.; Sumpter, Ian D.; Southon, John R.
- Abstract
A sea-level history is being built for the Gulf islands National park reserve (GINPR) by radiocarbon dating paleomarine and archaeological organic samples. This work highlights visibility issues for this region for shore-proximal sites older than one or two millennia. It also demonstrates the need to ensure that archaeological assessments include systematic investigation, with shovel and auger testing, in the intertidal zone.
