A Marine Reservoir Effect ∆R Value for Kitandach, in Prince Rupert Harbour, British Columbia, Canada

Prince Rupert Harbour (PRH), on the north Pacific Coast of British Columbia, contains at least 157 shell middens, of which 66 are known villages, in an area of approximately 180km. These sites span the last 9500yr and in some cases are immense, exceeding 20,000m surface area and several meters in depth. Recent archaeological research in PRH has become increasingly reliant on radiocarbon dates f...

Distribution and abundance of marine mammals in the coastal waters of British Columbia, Canada
