Search strategies have been a central activity within archaeology, varying with the
types of questions being addressed, technological tools available, and theoretical proclivity of
the investigator. This thesis will test the utility of LiDAR remote sensing and GIS spatial
technologies against a phenomenological field methodology. Modeled lands include select
areas within Northeast Graham Island, Haida Gwaii, located off the northern Pacific coast of
Canada. The time scale in question includes the entire Holocene.
A history of the landscape concept is evaluated, fleshing out a decisive working term.
An Interdisciplinary Multilogical Framework is devised, linking the two modeling methods
with a breadth of information sources on the physical and cultural attributes of landscapes.
This dialectic approach culminates in a holistic anthropological practice, and grounds for
interpretive analysis of the archaeological record. The role of archaeological predictive
modeling in the contemporary socio-political context of heritage management in British
Columbia is discussed.
