[OR_Archaeology] Oregon Archaeological Society --Fort Vancouver lecture

[John Pouley]

"The Decline and Fall (and Rise) of the Fort Vancouver Village" is the
February 12, 2013 lecture sponsored by the Oregon Archaeological Society
and given by Dr. Douglas Wilson.  Recent archaeological fieldwork at
Fort Vancouver's Village (aka Kanaka Village) will be highlighted. 
The Village was a multicultural community on the margins of Fort
Vancouver where most of the population of the fort lived. Since the
inhabitants of the Village did not leave a written record, historical
archaeology is used to contrast the few historical documents of
outsiders with the artifacts, features, and architectural remains of its
inhabitants.  
Wilson is the Pacific West Region’s historical archaeologist for the
National Park Service and archaeologist at Fort Vancouver.  In addition,
Wilson directs the Northwest Cultural Resources Institute, which
integrates university students with professional archaeologists and
volunteers to provide new scientific and historical research while
interpreting National Park Service sites. He also teaches the joint
National Park Service/Portland State University/Washington State
University Vancouver archaeological school at Fort Vancouver and is an
Adjunct Associate Professor of Anthropology at Portland State
University. His publications are numerous.

The presentation is at Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) is
free and open to the public. A general business meeting begins at 7 PM,
followed by the lecture.
