| Notes | This article gives current information on the Umpqua/Eden site, one of the most extensively studied archeological sites on the Oregon Coast. This site, which goes as far back as approximately 3,000 years, covers a much larger area than had been previously thought. Earlier archeological techniques had under-represented fish remains. “Although largely overlooked in previous analyses of collections from the site, the 1994 Test Pit 4 excavation indicates that fish remains were a major constituent of the faunal assemblage from Umpqua/Eden, and may have been of greater importance than either mammals or birds.” (p.59) Gives a nice summary of historical sources on Lower Umpqua peoples. |
