Learning Our Landscape

Landscape and Occupational History at č̕ixʷícən

Thurs., April 13, 3 p.m.

Online

With Sarah Sterling, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Anthropology

Portland State University

č̕ixʷícən, an ancient Klallam village on the Port Angeles Harbor shoreline, is situated in the midst of the Cascadia subduction zone, a tectonic feature that has been (and will be) responsible for earthquakes and tsunami from northern California to British Columbia.

Sarah will discuss archaeological, geological and Native American oral historical evidence of tsunami along the coast of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, focusing

on what was learned from excavating č̕ixʷícən where she was the project geo-archaeologist during the 2004 excavations in Port Angeles.
