Abstract

Investigation and (super 14) C dating of tree stumps inundated by rising marine waters at Mobile, Ship Harbour, and Port de Grave, in combination with research at The Beaches archaeological site and other previous investigations, have established that the sea level has risen along the coastline of eastern Newfoundland during the late Holocene. The estimated rates of sea-level rise vary between the localities, from a minimum value of 1 mm/a to a maximum in excess of 6.5 mm/a. The available data suggest that the rate of sea-level rise may have accelerated within the past 400 years.
