The Native Village Buried By A Mudslide For 500 Years — And The 55,000 Artifacts Found Preserved Beneath The Mud
Sea level rise associated with climate change adds a long-term dimension to the management challenge.
The specific shoreline position of the site relative to tidal action and storm wave reach will change as sea levels increase.
The implications for the buried deposit that remains at the site require ongoing assessment and planning.
The potential for additional preserved deposits beneath the existing site is significant.
The 11-year excavation was comprehensive but not exhaustive.
Areas adjacent to the excavated zones may contain additional preserved material.
The decision about whether to excavate additional areas of the site, and when and how to do so, rests with the Makah Tribe as the steward of their own cultural heritage.
