Artificial Mound in The West. Indian Island Shellmound Cluster (HUM-67), is the largest mound site north of the San Francisco Bay. The ancient village of Tolowot has been the center of Wiyot world for more than 10,000 years. There are several shellmounds on the low lying marshy island, ranging in size to the largest being 14 feet high and covering approx. 6 acres.

Clay human figurines and zooform clubs have been found among the burials & village site of HUM-67. On top of many of the shellmounds the archeological remnants of multiple pit houses where found.
