Abstract
During the late 1970s and 1980s we excavated a 3,000 year old wet site and 900 year old Rockshelter at the mouth of the Hoko River, Washington State, USA. Even though much of the photographic recording was in color slides and black and white film, we undertook to scan over 3000 representative images from the excavations and this is indexed for both sites, including a way to virtually excavate in 5 cm levels in the Hoko Rockshelter. The digital image links at this site for the Rockshelter (45CA21) shell midden (~900 years old; Late Period) include: Introduction to the Rockshelter, Digital Excavation, Harris Matrix, Shell Midden Profile Drawings and Stratograms, and Camp Life Images. For the Hoko Wet and Dry Site (45CA213; ~3,000 years old—Locarno Beach Phase) digital links include: Wet/Dry Site Artifacts, Wet Site Stratigraphy, and Dry Site Stratigraphy. Therefore, a comprehensive coverage of the digital image data for both of these National Register of Historic Places sites, representing 3,000 years of preserved heritage on the Northwest Coast of North America. Also the first and second final volume of the The Hoko River Archaeological Site Complex are available through Washington State University Press (1-800-354-7360), and entitled The Hoko River Archaeological Site Complex, the Wet/Dry Site (45CA213), 3,000 – 1,700 B.P. (1995) and The Rockshelter (45CA21), 1,000 – 100 B.P. (2005) and posted as books here in Academia.edu. As an add-on data base we wanted to make this HOKO RIVER SITE COMPLEX DIGITAL IMAGE ARCHIVE available in WSU Research Exchange. You may find it helpful for research and to help in classes as an example of a virtual excavation of a shell midden. The software is certainly aging, but at least we have much more of these important Northwest Coast sites documented in this manner. Any input appreciated.
