Port Angeles: Archeologists, tribe to discuss findings at graving yard for public

PORT ANGELES — Archeologists involved in the discovery of Klallam artifacts and human remains on a waterfront construction site will discuss their findings for the public Thursday.

The free presentation about the archaeological excavation at the Hood Canal Bridge graving yard will be given by scientists from Larson Anthropological Archaeological Services and Lower Elwha Klallam tribal members.

The program will be held from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Raymond Carver Room of the Port Angeles Public Library, 2210 S. Peabody St.

The room can hold about 90 people and entry will be on a first-come, first-serve basis, organizers said.

Archaeologists and tribal members will provide an overview of the excavation and show photographs of the recovery process and artifacts uncovered from the waterfront site.

Actual artifacts will not be shown.

“This will be an educational presentation,” said Lower Elwha Klallam Tribal Chairwoman Frances G. Charles.

“This gives people an opportunity to witness and observe the excavation process and learn about our points of view.”

Time for questions and comments from the public will be taken.
