Notes | This abstract describes a sonar imaging project studying the Siuslaw and Umpqua paleo-rivers at the peak of the last Ice Age, when the sea level was about 120 meters below the present level. At that time, rivers flowed along what is now the continental shelf. βThe mapped paleochannels are good indicators of potential archaeological sites, as many sites have been documented along the Umpqua and Siuslaw Rivers onshore. . . Detailed mapping of these structures could aid future archaeological investigations and paleochannel modeling in the region.β |
