Archaeological Investigations at the Salmon Beds 

 

Historic Objects

Several historic objects were recovered from the excavations or were collected from the surface.  Most of these date to the late 19th or early 20th century.  Most derive from Euro-Canadian occupation of Athalmer which developed along the bank of the Columbia to the south of the site.
