Article Title：The archaeology of scattered wreck-sites: Formation processes and shallow water archaeology in western Lake Huron

Abstract：
This paper explores the application of archaeological site formation theory to stranded wooden vessels and the scattered wreck-sites they produce. Shallow water wrecks and wreckage sites in the Au Sabel Shores region of western Lake Huron are used to develop a preliminary classification of the processes operating on the break up and deposition of wooden vessels.
