Foraminiferal Evidence of Late Holocene Sea-Level Change and Amerindian Site Distribution at Montague Harbour, British Columbia

Abstract: Foraminiferal and sedimentological analysis of an underwater stratigraphie section from an Amerindian habitation site at Montague Harbour, British Columbia has further documented late Holocene sea level changes. It appears that part of the documented transgression was caused by tectonic subsidence of the area (Event 1 at approx. 3500 calendar years BP and Event 2 sometime before 1100 calendar years BP) and was recognized in the stratigraphie record by rapid environmental changes. The environmental changes caus… Show more

“…Paleo-tsunami investigations provided data points from Vancouver Island to Crescent City California (e.g., Clague and Bobrowsky, 1994;Nelson et al, 2004;Williams et al, 2005;Peterson et al, 2011). Other coastal studies with sea-level data have focused on shoreline development and sediment transport (e.g., Peterson et al, 1984Peterson et al, , 2010Williams and Roberts, 1989;Peterson and Phipps, 1992), geo-archeology (e.g., Friele and Hutchinson, 1993;Minor and Grant, 1996;Reinhardt et al, 1996) the evolution of the Columbia River estuary (e.g., Peterson et al, 2013;Peterson, 2014), and postglacial sea-level history (e.g., Eronen et al, 1987;Beale, 1991;Hutchinson, 1992;Long and Shennan, 1998).…”
