DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This document summarizes results of the Chief Joseph Dam Cultural Resources Project, a salvage program carried out by the Office of Public Archaeology, University of Washington under contract to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District. Between July 1978 and August 1980, intensive excavations were conducted at eighteen prehistoric habitation sites on the floodplain and lower terraces of the Columbia River on the 45-mile stretch of river above Chief Joseph Dam. This reach of the river, the lower section of the Upper Columbia, lies between the arid, basaltic Columbia Plateau and the forested, granitic Okanogan Highlands and includes portions of the traditional territories of two Native American groups, the Sanpoil-Nespelem and Southern Okanogan. This report summarizes findings at a project-wide scale. General descriptive information about the regional assemblage is presented, and arguments are developed supporting inferences about the organization of local subsistence and settlement systems and changes in them through time.

The University of Washington excavated 1020 cu m of site volume from 1978-1980 for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District, as part of a mitigation program associated with adding 10 ft to the operating pool level behind Chief Joeph Dam. Systematic aligned random sampling with 1 x 1 x .01 m units of record in 1 x 2 or 2 x 2-m cells disclosed two major cultural components representing the Hudnut and Kartar Phases.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Site 45-DO-204 is on the south bank of the Columbia River (River Mile 567) atop a narrow alluvial fan opposite the mouth of the Omak Trench. Tucked into a small cove, the site location offered a secluded, protected campsite less than .4 km from Parson's Rapids. Vegetation is characteristic of the Upper Sonoran life zone. The University of Washington excavated 153.8 m (5.5%) of site volume in 1978 for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District, as part of a mitigation program associated with adding 10 ft to the operating pool level behind Chief Joseph Dam. A nested, stratified sampling design of randomly placed and purposively selected 1 x 1-m excavation units arranged in 1 x 2-m and 2 x 2-m cells disclosed at least four prehistoric occupations spanning the last 4500 years. The earliest occupation, sparsely represented by a triangular projectile point preform and chalcedony blade, some debitage and fire-modified rock, probably dates to before 4500 B.P. The second occupation is marked by a variety of functional tool forms and a small firepit with pine cones and pine seeds radiocarbon dated to 4590 + or - 143 B.P. The third occupation, defined as a living surface radiocarbon dated to 2812 + or - 344 B.P., contains the densest concentration of artifacts found at the site. The most recent occupation is distinguished by a stratified earth oven, radiocarbon dated at 592 + or - 71 B.P. and 655 + or - 67 B.P.A dense bone scatter, several firepits, and an earth oven indicate short-term activities. Tools document an emphasis in all four periods on hunting and butchering, supplemented by the gathering and processing of plant stuffs. (Author).

The introductory chapter discusses the scientific and humanistic concerns which guide cultural resource management for the project and the specific objectives of this phase of data recovery. Background information on the environment, Native American inhabitants and previous archaeological work in the area is provided in three separate chapters. The remainder of the report emphasizes strategic and tactical decisions made in data collection and analysis. The method of site selection, the sampling designs used at individual sites, and the excavation techniques used are reported"--Page iii.
