Future Directions for Archaeology and Heritage Research in the Willamette Valley, Oregon
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 88th Annual Meeting, Portland, OR (2023)
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Future Directions for Archaeology and Heritage Research in the Willamette Valley, Oregon" at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
The Willamette Valley of western Oregon is a unique geographic region shaped by millennia of Native American land management practices, including the use of fire to enhance and sustain the Valley’s prairie habitats and oak savannas. Historic and current industrial, agricultural, and urban development have further altered the landscape; these changes also drive a significant volume of cultural resource management activity in the Willamette Valley. Despite this, the region is rarely a focal point for archaeological research. This session aims to bring together a broad group of researchers, cultural resource management practitioners, and Tribal experts working in the region to share current work, identify knowledge gaps, and to discuss future directions for research focused on the Willamette Valley.
