Leukoma Seasonality and Maturity in the Locarno Beach Phase sites of the middle Salish Sea
Author(s): Todd Koetje
Year: 2016
Summary
Leukoma staminea sclerochronology data are now available from several mainland sites along the middle portion of the Salish Sea dating to the Locarno Beach Phase (~3500-2400 bp). Western Washington University field schools have conducted several seasons of test excavations, resulting in an extensive collection of shell from spatially distinct sites of this phase. Leukoma seasonality and maturity data from these sites will be used in combination with a modern sample of to address questions of site integrity, season of occupation, and placement in the regional context of Locarno beach sites.
