Waterlogged

Although any Northwest Coast archaeologist may encounter wet sites, wet-site archaeology is not widely taught at North American universities. Presenting previously unpublished original research spanning the past ten thousand years of human presence on the Northwest Coast, Waterlogged helps bridge that gap. Seventeen experienced archaeologists offer 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. They also offer practical information about logistics, equipment, and supplies, including a list of items for a wet-site field kit.
