Pacific Northwest (Geographic Keyword)
1-25 (49 Records)
Two Bison antiquus bones, one small (female) and one large (male) metacarpal, from Deer Harbor, Orcas Island, Washington were submitted for radiocarbon dating. Both of these bones were permineralized and did not retain sufficient collagen for recovery and AMS radiocarbon dating. Therefore, a calf skull fragment (OP2B) recovered from a peat deposit at Ayer Pond was submitted (Table 1).
The Archaeology of Kennewick Man
This project includes background information, detailed reports of investigations, summaries, and other documents related to the Kennewick Man.

Behind the Scenes--Geology of the Site: Full report on the geoarchaeological data and research objectives (1998)
Stafford presents in this document an argument for additional testing, in this case archaeological excavations of the area of the Columbia River floodplain immediately adjacent to where the remains of Kennewick Man were discovered. He and others submitted, on August 26, 1997, an application to the Walla Walla District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for an ARPA permit to authorize study of the site where the Kennewick Man skeleton was found (hereafter, the "Site"). The permit application...
Cultural Affiliation Report Kennewick Man: All Chapters (2000)
The general goals of this study are to identify, describe and summarize mortuary patterns and bio-archaeological studies within the Pacific Northwest. A major purpose is to compile this information in a form that will help address the possible cultural affiliation of Kennewick human remains with present-day Indian tribes. The specific objective is to identify continuities, discontinuities, and gaps in mortuary information and bio-archaeological data for the Middle Columbia River region from 9500...
Cultural Affiliation Report, Chapter 1: Background and Scope for the Kennewick Man Cultural Affiliation Reports (2000)
As part of its responsibilities in the Kennewick Man case, the Department of the Interior was trying to make a determination of the disposition of the human remains under the requirements of NAGPRA. Since the issue of disposition was at least in part related to whether the remains could be culturally affiliated under the terms of NAGPRA, four studies by experts in anthropological, archaeological, cultural, and historical topics relevant to this determination were undertaken by the DOI....
Cultural Affiliation Report, Chapter 2: Review of the Archaeological Data (2000)
This report is part of the cultural affiliation study, under NAGPRA, of the Kennewick human remains. The circumstances of the finding of those remains, and the resulting controversies, are well enough known not to require rehearsal here. The present work reviews the extant archaeological record for the Southern Columbia Plateau.
Cultural Affiliation Report, Chapter 3: Review of Traditional Historical and Ethnographic Information (2000)
This report has been prepared under contract with the National Park Service for the purpose of investigating the ethnographic and historical data concerning the cultural affiliation of the Kennewick human remains. Specifically I was asked to review published and archival materials related to the traditional ethnography, including traditional histories, kinship and patterns of residence, trade and social networks, artifact types and dwellings, community and settlement patterns, and economic and...
Cultural Affiliation Report, Chapter 4: Review of Linguistic Information (2000)
The Kennewick Man remains were found in shallow water along the edge of the Columbia River. It is believed that the remains eroded from the river bank at Columbia Park in what now is Kennewick, Washington, in July 1996. Preliminary C14 dating of the bone suggested the remains might be approximately 9,000 (C14) years old. At issue is the application of provisions of NAGPRA with regard to the repatriation of the remains to a coalition of tribes and bands (Confederated Tribes of the Colville...

Drinking, Laundry, and Haircuts: Framing Nikkei Material Culture in the Context of "Moral Reform" Politics at Barneston, WA (1907-1924) (2022)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Diverse and Enduring: Archaeology from Across the Asian Diaspora" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Previous studies of pre-WWII Japanese immigrant/Japanese American (Nikkei) archaeology have largely (but not entirely) focused on culture change, typically through theories of assimilation/acculturation, ethnic retention, and/or diaspora and transnationalism. In this paper, I propose an alternative approach to...
Early Encounters on a Western Frontier: The Search for Sv. Nikolai (2024)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary protects the prolific marine resources of Washington State.

Of the dozens of shipwrecks lost...
"Eine Frau, Eine Familie, und Ein Lager Beer!": The Archaeology and History of the Eagle Brewery and Saloon, Jacksonville, Oregon (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Largely assumed to consist of a male dominated workforce and clientele, in reality, many early Oregon breweries were family affairs. The Eagle Brewery and Saloon, one of the first breweries in Oregon, was run by German immigrants Joseph and Fredericka Wetterer. They sold lager beer, distilled whisky and brandy, and had a small...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "In the Sticks but Not in the Weeds: Diversity, Remembrance, and the Forging of the Rural American West", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. While usually portrayed as a fur trading post, Fort Vancouver was established because of the agricultural potential of its surrounding prairie. The large company farm established there was modelled after English manorial farms combined with unique fur trade elements. Its...

Invisible History: Chinese Placer Mining Partnerships in 19th Century Oregon (2022)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Diverse and Enduring: Archaeology from Across the Asian Diaspora" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. John Day Chinatown was established to support a booming placer gold mining industry in the 19th century. The standard story about the formation of the Chinatown is a victim narrative based on the Chinese being forced to move there after a fire in 1885 destroyed the original Chinatown in Canyon City, located a...
Kennewick Man Case: Scientific Studies and Legal Issues (2014)
The human skeletal remains referred to as the "Kennewick Man" or the "Ancient One", were found in July 1996 below the surface of Lake Wallula, a section of the Columbia River pooled behind McNary Dam in Kennewick, Washington. The discovery was made by a pair of college students wading in the shallow water along the southern lake bank. Most commentators and reporters described the legal controversy that developed and swirled around the Kennewick remains in rather super-heated rhetoric pitting...
