Event Details

Join TSS and Melissa Price from the Mission San Luis for SciSalon@BT on March 19th at 6PM. This talk examines how a 7,000 year old archaeological site was slowly swallowed by the sea. It illustrates how oyster shells that were attached to cultural material contain useful information about the environment. Isotope analysis in particular revealed past conditions at the archaeological site as ocean water creeped into the area.
