By Dr. Loren G. Davis, Anthropology, Oregon State University
Archaeological excavations conducted at the Cooper's Ferry/Nipéhe site in Western Idaho's lower Salmon River canyon revealed a long record of repeated occupation beginning by ~16,000 years ago. This record includes pit features containing the earliest stemmed projectile points in the Americas. In this presentation, we discuss how the archaeological record at the Cooper's Ferry/Nipéhe site tells us about the early ancestors of the Nez Perce peoples and what their world of the Pacific Northwest was like.
