This paper summarizes over a decade of collaborative eco-archaeological research along the central coast of California involving researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, tribal citizens from the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, and California Department of Parks and Recreation archaeologists. Our research employs remote sensing methods to document and assess cultural resources threatened by coastal erosion and geophysical methods to identify archaeological deposits, minimize impacts on sensitive cultural resources, and provide tribal and state collaborators with a suite of data to consider before proceeding with any form of invasive archaeological excavation. Our case study of recent eco-archaeological research developed to define the historical biogeography of threatened and endangered anadromous salmonids demonstrates how remote sensing technologies help identify dense archaeological deposits, remove barriers, and create bridges through equitable and inclusive research practices between archaeologists and the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band. These experiences have resulted in the incorporation of remote sensing techniques as a central approach of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band when conducting archaeology in their traditional territories.

This paper presents the way conventional marine geophysical methods may be used with the highest efficiency for deep-water archaeological research, especially for the detection of ancient shipwrecks. Their use becomes all the more effective, when the principles of oceanography and marine geology are being followed during the interpretation of the geophysical recordings. The integration of sub-bottom profiling data provides valuable information on the geological structure of the seafloor 's shallow substrate, which are an almost absolute prerequisite for a geologically reasonable interpretation of the side scan sonar images. Otherwise, interpretation of the sonar recordings may be erroneous or may be in direct discrepancy with the shallow sub-seafloor geological structure. Limitations of the efficiency of the geophysical methods in the case of targets of biogenic or anthropogenic origin or in shallow water environments are also being discussed
