[OR_Archaeology] OMSI Archaeology Lecture, sponsored by OAS

[John Pouley]

"The Decline and Fall (and Rise) of the Fort Vancouver Village" is the
October 1, 2013 lecture sponsored by the Oregon Archaeological Society
(OAS) and given by Dr. Douglas Wilson.  Wilson’s talk will highlight the
recent archaeological fieldwork at Fort Vancouver's Village (aka Kanaka
Village) by OAS Members and students associated with the joint National
Park Service/Portland State University/Washington State University
Vancouver Public Archaeology Field School.

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archaeology is used to contrast the few historical documents of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. University students and OAS members have been exploring
these sites over the past few years and this talk will show off some of
the results of this partnership project.

Wilson is the Pacific West Region’s historical archaeologist for the
National Park Service and is duty-stationed at Fort Vancouver.  He 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.
