The Potential Relationship Between Archaeological Artifact Exposure and Surface Geomorphic Processes
Complex interactions between topography, near-surface geology, active tectonics, climate, and human activity shape a landscape, conditioning archaeological deposits and making sediment deposits from surface erosion important archives. There is a potential relationship between the intensity of geomorphic processes and surface artifact distribution. This study assesses the potential relationship between soil erosion by water and the spatial distrib…
Late-Holocene record of lagoon evolution, climate change, and hurricane activity from southeastern Cuba
A sediment core from a lagoon in southeastern Cuba was the focus of a multi-proxy paleoenvironmental study to investigate lagoon response to sea-level change and climate change and also to infer changes in the frequency of past hurricane strikes. The proxy data examined included benthic foraminifera, fossil pollen, particle size analysis, and macrocharcoal influx values. The core was dated using 137 Cs and accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radi…
A 9000-year record of vertical and lateral accretion on the floodplain of the lower Thames River, southwestern Ontario, Canada, and implications for archaeological research
Mid-Holocene glacier expansion between 7500 and 4000 cal. yr BP in the British Columbia Coast Mountains, Canada
The mid-Holocene behaviour of five glaciers in the British Columbia Coast Mountains was reconstructed from radiocarbon ages and stratigraphic analysis. Subfossil wood evidence at Canoe, Fyles, Jacobsen, Tchaikazan and Icemaker glaciers suggests these glaciers were expanding into standing forests prior to 6630, 4900 and 4200 cal. yr BP. Stratigraphically constrained woody detritus at Fyles Glacier records the progradational history of a Gilbert-ty…
Palaeoenvironmental reconstruction at an oxbow lake situated at the lower Nottawasaga River, southern Ontario, Canada
The purpose of this investigation at the lower Nottawasaga River in southern Ontario, Canada, was to reconstruct the impact of base level on fluvial stability and human occupation during the Holocene in a topographically confined section, where the river cuts through the Edenvale Moraine. Three cores were extracted from an oxbow lake (Doran Lake) and a ground-penetrating radar survey was executed in its vicinity to study wider subsurface alluvial…
Holocene paleoenvironmental changes inferred from diatom assemblages in sediments of Kusawa Lake, Yukon Territory, Canada
The southwest Yukon Territory, Canada, is an important region for recovering sensitive records of Holocene paleoclimatic change. More information is needed, however, to constrain the timing of the major Holocene climatic transitions, and to understand associated impacts on different ecosystems. For example, paleolimnological studies have focused on small lakes and ponds, but the history of large lakes has received little study. We analyzed diatom…
Pattern and timing of sediment infill at glacier-fed Mud Lake
The Holocene sedimentary infill of proglacial Mud Lake, British Columbia, Canada, was investigated using 3.5 kHz acoustic sub-bottom profiling and sediment samples. The sediment infill is a mixture of silt and clay and is divided into five stratigraphic units: massive silt (Unit 1), weakly laminated silt with very fine sand beds (Unit 2), weakly laminated silt with rippled beds of fine sand (Unit 3), weakly laminated clay with very fine sand lami…
Role of landscape parameters in riverine run-off, and sediment and organic matter yield on Disko Island, West Greenland
Measurements of discharge and suspended sediment and organic matter yield from nine different drainage basins on the island Disko in central West Greenland were carried out in the period 19–30 July 1997. A series of landscape properties (glacier cover, altitude, slope, aspect and vegetation cover) were measured for each drainage basin from a digital elevation model and a satellite image. Principal Component Analysis and regression statistics have…
Floodplains and Agricultural Origins
Human interaction with riverine ecology is an important component of recent modelling of agricultural origins in eastern North America. Recent research on the ancestral Ontario Iroquoian Princess Point Complex (A.C. 500–900) in south-central Ontario, Canada, demonstrates that the floodplain of the Grand River was an important setting for initial maize production in this region. This paper presents a case study of an archaeological occupation in r…
Floodplain formation processes and archaeological implications at the Grand Banks site, lower Grand River, southern, Ontario
Processes of floodplain development and the record of Princess Point cultural occupation (A.D. 500–1000) were examined at the Grand Banks site in the lower Grand River of southern Ontario. The Princess Point Complex of the early Late Woodland is significant because it represents the first shift to horticulture in this region in which inhabitants made significant use of floodplains. The floodplain of the lower Grand River has been constructed prim…

Sources for Valley‐fill Alluvial Sediments
Changes in the grain‐size distribution and the lithologi‐cal I mineralogical properties of sandy‐gravel sediments are used to discriminate between sources for the alluvial valley‐fill of Bella Coola River, coastal British Columbia. Spatially variable bedrock sources, ranging from highly resistant quartz monzonites to easily weathered basalts, yield sediments that reflect parent rock characteristics. Local increases in the D 95 fraction of bulk gr…
