|a Coastal archaeological resources around the
world often coincide with dense contemporary human
populations and a rapidly changing physical environment.
Projected sea level rise and urban expansion during the 21st
century threaten to destroy much of our global coastal
archaeological heritage. In this study, we adapt an environmental
vulnerability analysis to quantify the threats of
modern development and sea level rise on archaeological
sites in California’s Santa Barbara Channel region. Using
spatial and statistical techniques, we create a Cultural
Resource Vulnerability Index that combines environmental
factors, current and projected urban footprints, and archaeological
site positioning. We illustrate the importance of
this method for targeting threatened archaeological sites for
mitigation and salvage research. In the process, we
highlight the significance of coastal archaeological sites
for helping better understand contemporary environmental
and cultural issues, underscoring the need to preserve or
salvage these sites for their significant research value. |
