Laurentide, cordilleran, and montane glaciation in the western Peace River — Grande Prairie region, Alberta and British Columbia, Canada
Evidence for a Large Earthquake and Tsunami 100-400 Years Ago on Western Vancouver Island, British Columbia
A peaty marsh soil is sharply overlain by a sand sheet and intertidal mud at tidal marshes near Tofino and Ucluelet, Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Foraminifera and vascular plant fossils show that the buried soil was submerged suddenly and was covered quickly by sand. Radiocarbon ages place this event between 100 and 400 yr ago. The coastal subsidence suggested by the submergence occurred in an area of net late Holocene emergence, perhaps d…
Archaeomalacological Significance of the Hall Shelter, Perry County, Kentucky
Archaeological excavations at the Hall Shelter site in southeastern Kentucky yielded approximately 450,000 items of natural and cultural debris. Subsequent analysis of the recovered cultural items and recognition of numerous diagnostic lithic and ceramic artifacts indicate human occupation at the locus occurred since the Late Archaic. Also recovered from the main excavation units were 517 identifiable gastropod shell specimens representing twenty…
The History and Science of Gastropods in Archaeology
This study examines and defines the potential information offered to archaeology by the study of gastropod remains. A historical review of past accomplishments in archaeomalacology provides the foundation from which zooarchaeologists can begin to recognize the primary concerns for future research in the discipline. The past, present and future approaches to archaeomalacology are discussed under a taphonomic framework. Under the guise of biostrato…
Olsen and Olsen's Identity Crisis in Faunal Studies
Corrections and additions to Olsen and Olsen's comment on terminology in faunal studies are provided. It is shown that a single term in faunal studies is not crucial to maintain subdisciplinary communication.Proper words in proper places make the true de/inition of a style.-Jonathan Swift
