“Archaeology in the Oregon State Park System” is the title of the
November 2, 2010 lecture sponsored by the Oregon Archaeological Society.
>From the Oregon coast to the Willamette Valley to John Day, Oregon’s
state parks are the stewards of Oregon’s history, which is revealed in
the cultural sites found within many of the parks.  Nancy Nelson, Oregon
State Parks and Recreation Department archaeologist, will provide
information on an array of archaeological site types found in state
parks.  Both precontact and historic archaeological sites will be
highlighted, including Tseriadun, Fort Yamhill, and Kam Wah Chung. 


Nelson received her education from Oregon State University and the
University of Oregon in Anthropology.  She has a broad range of
experience working on archaeological and cultural resource projects in
conjunction with the Coquille tribe; Confederated Tribes of the Coos,
Lower Umpqua and Suislaw; the Yakima Nation; and the Ak-Chin Indian
Community in Arizona.  

The presentation is at Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) at
