The Geoarchaeology of Submerged, Intertidal, And Wetland Places: Advances In Method And Theory of Prehistoric Archaeology Underwater 2015 -- Part 2
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 80th Annual Meeting, San Francisco, CA (2015)
This symposium is organized to exhibit recent advances and discoveries from prehistoric sites in fully submerged, intertidal, or now wetland places. These projects include both Academic and CRM projects. These examples are fully geoarchaeological in scope because such research is fundamentally involved with Pleistocene and Holocene sea level fluctuations, coastal and marine geomorphic processes, paleoclimatology, and geophysical remote sensing techniques. Topics will include both freshwater, wetland, intertidal, and fully marine or lacustrine examples, and presenters will discuss survey methods, sediment sampling and analysis, paleogeographic reconstructions, and site predictive models, agency issues for CRM, and Native consultations. A central theme will be the discipline-wide importance of these projects and how submerged prehistoric sites are contributing to our understanding of the past.
