Our primary objective is to demonstrate a method that uses marine processes, principally seafloor scour, to broadly expose prehistoric landforms and associated localities. Too often, the loss of prehistoric strata to scour processes such as ravinement during broad-scale, continental shelf transgressions, are decried without the recognition of the potential for erosion at the local scale and can expose those same strata for systematic study. The analysis of seafloor erosional features formed around artificial reefs by turbulent flows in the Georgia Bight have used interferometric side-scan sonar (SSS), Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), ultra-high-definition videography (UHD), and sedimentological, palynological, paleontological, archaeological analytical techniques. These techniques were integrated within a geoarchaeological methodology focused on exploring the Continental Shelf for preserved evidence of prehistoric landforms, flora, and fauna once thereon. A stepwise protocol was devel..., Methods involved: Geophysics, GIS, ROV, sediment grabs and cores, diving

我们的核心目标是展示一种利用海洋过程（主要为海底冲刷（seafloor scour））广泛暴露史前地貌及相关地点的方法。在大规模大陆架海侵（continental shelf transgressions）期间，史前地层因冲蚀（ravinement）等冲刷过程流失的现象常被诟病，却未被认识到局部尺度的侵蚀可能为系统研究这些地层创造暴露条件。
针对佐治亚湾（Georgia Bight）内人工礁周围由湍流形成的海底侵蚀特征，研究采用了干涉侧扫声呐（interferometric side-scan sonar，SSS）、遥控潜水器（Remotely Operated Vehicles，ROVs）、超高清摄像（ultra-high-definition videography，UHD）以及沉积学、孢粉学、古生物学和考古学分析技术。
这些技术被整合到一种地质考古学方法（geoarchaeological methodology）中，该方法旨在探索大陆架上留存的史前地貌、动植物群遗迹。
研究开发了一套分步协议……涉及方法包括：地球物理学、地理信息系统（GIS）、遥控潜水器（ROV）、沉积物抓取与岩心采样、潜水PSA、花粉分析、DNA分析、紫外/蓝光检测、烧失量分析、X射线衍射（XRD）、扫描电镜能谱分析（SEM-EDS）、摄影测量。#2021年美国国家科学基金会（NSF）研究主文件
