Summary
The significance of cultural resources along Oregon’s dynamic coast continues to have a stronger presence and recognition in landscape management. As future projects look to develop off Oregon’s coast, there is a need for predictive modeling and analysis of cultural resources in a landscape that today is submerged. Paleolandscapes having high potential for a variety of cultural resources are identified using isostatic rebound adjustments and bathometric data. One such landform is off-shore of today’s Tillamook Bay. Through historic documents, oral histories, and stories the distribution of cultural resources is mapped and rated. This gathered information along with off-shore paleolandscape reconstruction can begin to show the landscape’s potential through an understanding of cultural practice.
