Archaeology in Washington

"Archaeology - along with Native American traditions and memories - holds a key to understanding early chapters of the human story in Washington. This all new book draws together and brings up to date what has been learned about the state's prehistory and the environments early people experienced. It presents a sample of sites representing Washington's geographic regions and touches on historical archaeology, including excavations at fur-trade forts and Whitman mission and at Cathlapotle, a Columbia River village visited by Lewis and Clark."--BOOK JACKET
