For people who rely on the ocean, changes in sea-level can have a profound effect on daily lives, connections to place, and identity. When we study sea-level from a broader or regional scale, we do not require the time and space specificity that is necessary to examine the effect of highly local sea-level change in a particular time and place. Thus, the regional sea-level curves that have been well-refined and developed, may not answer (or allow us) to understand and appreciate what this change...
Long-term culture landscape development at (EkTb-9) Triquet Island, British Columbia, Canada (2017)
EkTb-9, a Heiltsuk First Nation village site located on Triquet Island, British Columbia, Canada, has an occupation span of over 11,500 calendar years. Archaeological and palaeo-environmental research indicates that local sea level was relatively stable during that time. EkTb-9 is rich in archaeology strata including a five meter deep shell midden and nearby water-logged deposits which contains perishable materials, most notably parts of bent wood and compound fish-hooks and wooden bi-point...
Using the Underwater Cultural Heritage to Understand Coastal Change (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Attention this is a Submergency: Incorporating Global Submerged Records", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Sea-level fluctuations have had an impact on humanity from the earliest times, forcing people to move and adapt. While doing so, they have left tools, structures and settlements within inundated landscapes, sealed beneath anaerobic sediment. These artefacts are often exquisitely preserved cultural assets,...
