Archaeology of Stranded, Intertidal, and Submerged Shorelines on the Northwest Coast of North America

Coastal Archaeology in Northwestern North America is offering an expanding range of insights into the late Pleistocene peopling of postglacial environments and the purposeful transformation of the intertidal zone during the late Holocene to enhance and manage shellfish and fish populations. Attentiveness to relative sea level change and employing interdisciplinary tools and methods is a key driver enabling both of these research trajectories. This poster session invites emerging research contributions on this theme from along the Northwest Coast, including the Central Coast and the Discovery Islands in British Columbia where the Hakai Institute has launched a long-term archaeological research program. This poster session aims to provide an enjoyable forum for this convergent research on the coastal margin.
