The research reported on here was conducted in territories of the We Wai Kai, Wei Wai Kum, K’omoks, Kwiakah, Klahoose and Xwemalkhwu First Nations. Funding and logistical support was provided by Eric Peterson and Christina Munck through the Tula Foundation and Hakai Institute. Logistical support was also provided by the Department of Anthropology at the University of Victoria. Work reported here was conducted under permits from the BC Archaeology Branch (#2014-0046) and BC Parks (#107261). A number of people assisted us with the isolation basin coring including Callum Abbott, Paul Bishop, Jenny Cohen, Travis Crowell, Bryn Fedje, Tom and Jem Hollanders, Joanne McSporran, Cecilia Porter and Colton Vogelaar. Keith Holmes, Alex Lausanne and Kirsten Mathison conducted RTK GPS surveys for data point elevations. Alex Lausanne and Colton Vogelaar prepared GIS maps in support of the paleoecological and archaeological research program. Jenny Cohen identified seed species from isolation basin cores. We extend a heartfelt thanks to Dana Lepofsky, Ginevra Toniello, Christine Roberts, Louis Wilson and the rest of the ‘Clam Garden’ team who shared data from their research on Quadra Island. We also thank Interfor Corporation for permitting use of LiDAR imagery from Elk Bay. Martin Margold and two anonymous reviewers are thanked for very thorough reviews that helped to substantially improve the manuscript. This is Natural Resources Canada contribution number 20180005.
