Title:
Waterlogged : examples and procedures for Northwest Coast archaeologists
Summary:
Currently, wet-site archaeology is not widely taught at North American universities. Waterlogged helps bridge that gap. Seventeen experienced archaeologists who work on the Northwest Coast discuss their original research in regional and global perspectives, share highlights of their findings, provide direction and guidance on how to locate wet sites, and outline procedures for recovering and caring for perishable waterlogged artifacts. The volume offers practical information about logistics, equipment, and supplies, including a list of items for a wet-site field kit, and presents previously unpublished original research spanning the past ten thousand years of human presence on the Northwest Coast.-- Provided by publisher.
