A Klallam Indian Village and Cemetery site in Clallam County Washington.
The village itself was occupied as long ago as 700 BC. The villagers were forced to abandon the village in 1915. However, the ancient cemetery was no longer in active use at that time; the ground being considered sacred and held fallow. The burials are from the pre-contact era.
When the human remains were first unearthed during efforts to build a new dry dock facility, there was an initial effort to remove the bones and grave goods for re-interment elsewhere. However as the extent to the burials (over 1000 sets of remains) were determined the building plans were eventually canceled. Current plans are to re-inter the remains of site, but other finds remain in storage as the interested parties attempt to determine who will take possession giver or withhold permission for study, storage or display.
Note: Dogs trained to sniff out centuries old remains survey Pre-Contact village site in Washington State. See comment.
