Notes | "In many ways, the modern Oregon coastline bears little resemblance to that associated with prehistoric coastal peoples prior to 3000 years ago..." (from the abstract). Examines how geological forces (earthquakes, sea level rise) have changed the landscape and obscured early peoples' occupations of the area. First stop on the tour is at the main HMSC parking lot, and the second stop is at Yaquina Head. Mentions Siletz, Yaquina, Alsea, Yachats and Siuslaw paleorivers. Includes maps showing paleorivers and what was above water before all the ice melted. |
