“…Although much is known about human coastal occupation after the middle Holocene, inundated sites that date to earlier (> 7000 BP) (DePratter and Howard 1981) have the potential to shed badly needed light on the changes in subsistence, settlement and socio‐political organizational patterns of communities living during and before the middle Holocene. This is especially important as these communities would have had to cope with notable changes to their environments along with rising sea levels and shifting climatic conditions (Anderson, Russo, and Sassaman 2007; Cook Hale and Garrison 2019; Cook Hale and Sanger 2020).…”

Critical data concerning key developments in global human history now lie submerged on continental shelves where investigations confront significant challenges. Whereas underwater excavations and surveys are expensive and weather dependent and require specialized training and equipment, remote sensing methods can improve chances for success offshore. A refinement in one method, a semi‐automated analysis protocol that can help to identify Pleistocene and Holocene era archaeological deposits in bathymetric LiDAR datasets, is presented here. This method employs contour mapping to identify potential archaeological features in shallow water environments in Apalachee Bay, Florida. This method successfully re‐identified multiple previously recorded archaeological sites in the study region and detected at least four previously undocumented archaeological sites. These results suggest that this procedure can expand on methods to identify and record submerged archaeological deposits in sediment‐starved, shallow‐water environments.

“…Shell mounds, shell middens and earth mounds are some of the most common coastal site types in the Northern Territory and across northern Australia (Allen 1989(Allen , 1996Bourke 2000Bourke , 2002Bourke , 2004Brockwell 2006;Faulkner 2013;Hiscock 1999;Hiscock et al 1992;Hiscock and Hughes 2001;Hiscock and Mowat 1993;Kamminga and Allen 1973;Mowat 1995;Schrire 1982;Woodroffe et al 1989). Australian midden specialists have speculated that there is a low probability of finding shell middens offshore in Australia (Meehan 1982:2) but there is increasing evidence from other countries of shell middens surviving inundation at least partially intact (Astrup et al 2019;Astrup et al 2021;Cook Hale and Garrison 2019;Larsen et al 2018). Distinguishing anthropogenic shell middens from natural shell deposits is typically determined by the presence of artefacts, charcoal, burnt shell, nonmolluscan faunal remains, stratigraphic layers, and consistency in the size of shells (Rosendahl et al 2007).…”

Regional-scale assessments have proven to be invaluable frameworks for research, public engagement and management of submerged archaeological landscapes. Regional-scale approaches have been implemented internationally through a variety of academic or strategic studies. Such studies represent a much-needed next step towards sub-regional and site-level prospection to support management, engagement and mitigation of the impacts of offshore development. However, these regional studies are largely absent in Australia. In this article, we build on the recent discovery of submerged archaeological sites in Western Australia and produce a novel regional-scale assessment of submerged archaeological and cultural landscape potential in the coastal and island regions of the Northern Territory. This area is of special significance in the peopling of Australia, containing some of the oldest dated archaeological evidence. We collate and synthesise regional data related to sealevel change, ethnography (e.g. oral traditions), geomorphology, and archaeology, also taking account of logistics and existing data availability to identify prospective areas for further study. We highlight the need for a coordinated national program of regional baseline studies to address a legacy of under-representation of submerged landscapes and provide vital baseline data for a wide spectrum of stakeholders, including researchers, policy makers, environmental and heritage managers, developers and Traditional Owners.

Topographical/bathymetric archaeological modelling of potential Stone Age settlement zones has been criticized for operating in a world of its own and producing results with a poor relation to the real world. As landscape archaeologists who use modelling and an awareness of the importance of being able to detect Stone Age sites effectively in relation to GIS-based management and protection as well as research, we find it important to extend the debate about modelling. This includes its more advanced forms such as agent-based modelling (ABM) to a point where it interfaces in a convincing way with the available archaeological, ethnographic/social anthropological, landscape ecological, as well as geomorphological data and knowledge.To obtain this goal, it has been necessary not to base this review on the generally accepted presumptions inherent in archaeological topographical modelling of potential Stone Age settlement zones, but to approach this theme "from the outside" in a wide interdisciplinary perspective with a special focus on the highly relevant data from ethnography/social anthropology, landscape ecology, as well as geomorphology.This chapter aims to sum up the difficulties in topographical settlement zone modelling as well as its possibilities for making progress. It offers a review of the historical and theoretical background for modelling of potential Stone Age settlement zones in relation to the debate about environmental determinism in anthropology as well as the geomorphological and landscape ecological 1596 O. Grøn et al. backgrounds for topographical settlement zone modelling. Examples of modelling methods ranging from the rather basic to the quite complex, such as agentbased modelling (ABM), are used to give an idea of how different types of topographical modelling work. Tests/evaluations of their results are used to indicate how well they work. To elucidate the types of complexities, a number of examples are presented of behavior from recent small-scale cultures who demonstrate dynamic cultural variation.
