Modelling Village Development in the Prince Rupert Harbour
Author(s): Kevan Edinborough
Year: 2015
Summary
The initial results of a radiocarbon local marine reservoir correction study are presented for Prince Rupert Harbor in northern British Columbia, Canada. These preliminary results are integrated into a series of Bayesian age-depth models that illustrate how shell-midden accumulation rates can dramatically vary. Village development in the harbor is discussed in the light of these new findings.
