[OR_Archaeology] PSU Archaeology First Thursday

[POULEY John * OPRD]

Hello all,
Please join us for the upcoming Archaeology First Thursday presentation at PSU, March 2, 4 pm, in Smith Center, Room 328/9.

A group of us from PSU (Virginia Butler, Sarah Sterling, Laura Syvertson, and Pat Rennaker)  will present:

"Results from Ciwicen, a 2800 yr old Lower Elwha Klallam coastal village, Washington State"


The talk will summarize  results from a multi-year project that studied the geo-zooarchaeological records from Čḯxwicən village, coastal Washington state.  The project focused on remains from several houses excavated and associated midden with fine geo-stratigraphic control; over one million faunal remains (from shellfish, mammal, bird and fish) allow for detailed reconstruction of animal use. Researchers studied the dynamic interactions between humans and animals-- focusing especially on their response to several large-magnitude earthquakes, periods of climate change, and an increase in sheltered habitat.

As usual the presentation is free and open to the public.

Hope you can join us!
