Abstract: | This summary serves to introduce the ongoing research and testing of the lichenometric method within the Bothnian region. Within this framework, applications of the Schmidt Test Hammer have also been evaluated. Shore displacement has provided an ideal means for calculating growth and weathering rates. The strength of this study is the combination of independent biologically, geologically and physically based methods in an attempt to solve basic archaeological problems. |
