Ancient Village in Umatilla County, Oregon.
Site of pre-contact village at the confluence of the Umatilla and Columbia rivers. Finds indicate 12000 years of occupation. At the time of contact the Umatilla tribe used the village as a center for salmon fishing, preservation and trading.
The modern town of Umatilla Junction was sited along the native village. Both settlements have been flooded by Columbia river dams.
Note: Joint effort by Oregon town and Indian Reservation to document flooded village site.
