This is an abstract from the session entitled "Transient legacies of the past: Historical Archaeology in the Intertidal Zone", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. For the last few years, we have started recording wrecks abandoned in the intertidal zone. This is an individual project done with the help of volunteers so recording speed is slow. We also have limited resources available; we cannot record all the wrecks and some interfere with others. Besides,...
CONSUMER-GRADE DRONE MAPPING AND CENTIMETER-LEVEL INTERTIDAL GEOMORPHIC CHANGES AT THE SEABROOK MARSH SITE, HAMPTON, NEW HAMPSHIRE (2017)
The Seabrook Marsh site [SBM] in Hampton, New Hampshire is a ca. 3500-4500 BP multi-component site beneath 1-2 meters of salt marsh peat and exposed at a rapidly eroding shoreface. Like most intertidal archaeological sites SBM occupies a dynamic environment. Daily tidal fluctuations slightly modify surficial sediments, but on a monthly, seasonal, or annual scale the magnitude of changes is quite significant. The resulting landscape modifications range from minor erosion and deposition to...
