Dionisio2014_Report

DgRv-3 is a Marpole phase village site (1700-1400 BP) within the Dionisio Point Provincial Park on Galiano Island, BC (Grier 2001). The site consists of five plank house depressions that form a terraced landscape on a northern inlet coast of the island. Three terraces, containing 4 of the 5 house depressions (Houses 2-5), are separated by elevations of 2 to 3 meters, while the lowest and most remote house (House 1) is situated just above a gravel beach to the northeast. Shell middens form the built-up ridges surround the house perimeters. During this project, Patrick Dolan and Colin Grier conducted magnetic gradiometery over Houses 1, and Houses 3 through 5. House 2 was not surveyed due to magnetic interference from metal and the extensive excavations. An additional small grid (Grid 1) was surveyed along the high midden deposit ridge to the east. Electromagnetic surveys were also run on small areas of Houses 1, 3 and 5.

This upload contains the final report for the project.
