Applying new archeological techniques to the study of climate change during the last, and previous, Ice Ages, this volume presents multidisciplinary case studies of prehistoric archaeological sites located on now-submerged portions of the continental shelf.

This volume presents multiple idiographic, archaeological studies of vernacular watercraft from North America and the Caribbean. This collection of case studies, including many examples from cultural resource management and graduate student theses, presents a thematic exploration of cultural adaptation as expressed through ship construction.
