Garden Island – Eroding? How fast?	Making do
	Image below was taken from helicopter – but only one I have

Yellow line shows where Tsimshian canoes beached hundred years ago

Garden Island in PR Harbour

It was the erosion of this site which originally prompted initial survey archaeology in 1960s

See my earlier ‘the Dig’ and here is a labret (external site) found then

This is illustration from The Dig and presumably dates from around 1966

I have re-orientated my image.
Looks to me significant changes especially at the pink dotted line but also at the arrow; Trees etc look to be all gone

Comparing

Line drawing Fig form ‘The Dig’

These show the elevations and where the test trenches were dug (see excerpt below)

With this in hand could get good indication how much has eroded but would have to physically go to Garden Island
