Abstract
This talk is an overview of Kate’s landscape study concerning the Osceola Mudflow Event ca. 5700 years ago. A debris flow from Mount Tahoma [Rainier] dramatically changed the landscape of what we know as Puget Sound. She will talk about indigenous perspectives, experimental archaeology, as well as the way forward to a predictive model of documenting the lives of people in the dynamic Middle Holocene in the southernmost portion of the Salish Sea.
