The VIU Department of Anthropology and Anthropology Student Club are pleased to present a free public lecture by:=0D=0A= =0D=0A= Daryl Fedje=0D=0A= University of Victoria=0D=0A= =0D=0A= Sea Levels and Archaeology on the Northwest Coast=0D=0A= =0D=0A= The early archaeological record on the BC coast is poorly known, partly as a consequence of relative sea level change. Sea level history varies considerably along the coast with early shorelines having shifted rapidly during early post-glacial to early Holocene time. On parts of the coast early shorelines are now drowned up to 150 m while in other parts they are stranded 150 m or more above modern levels. By developing regional sea level histories, archaeologists are now able to design investigations to locate archaeological sites dating to this early time. =0D=0A= =0D=0A= Daryl Fedje's research interests are focused on Quaternary paleoecology and the early human history of the Pacific Northwest Coast.
