- Abstract
The Umpqua/Eden site is the primary source of archaeological information about the Lower Umpqua, one of the less well documented native peoples of the southern Northwest Coast. The scene of extensive excavations between 1974 and 1980, Umpqua/Eden was revisited in 1994 when additional small-scale archaeological investigations were carried out in preparation for nominating the site to the National Register of Historic Places and its acquisition by the Archaeological Conservancy. New information is presented about the horizontal and vertical extent of the cultural deposits, the nature of the faunal assemblage, and the site's stratigraphy and chronology. A review of the limited, mostly unpublished, ethnographic record indicates that Umpqua/Eden corresponds to the village of Tki'-mi-ye', one of only seven Lower Umpqua settlements whose locations are known today.
