Redmond at the end of the Ice Age – Native American Settlement at the Bear Creek Site - CANCELLED

Event Cancelled Due to Weather! Redmond at the end of the Ice Age – Native American Settlement at the Bear Creek Site October 15, 2016 – 1-3pm The Bear Creek site, located in the heart of the City of Redmond, is the oldest excavated archaeological site with stone tools in Western Washington. It was first identified in 2008 during a routine environmental survey for a City habitat restoration project, and since then it has generated a wealth of information about Native American life over 10,000 years ago near the outlet of Lake Sammamish. Join project director Dr. Robert Kopperl at the edge of the restoration area overlooking the site to find out more about the study and what we have learned from it, and about the broader picture of the past as seen in our archaeological heritage. On Saturday, October 15, 2016, Dr. Kopperl will be on-hand to informally provide information about the Bear Creek site, answer questions about the project, and answer any other questions you may have about Washington State’s shared archaeological heritage. He will be at the new overlook of the Lower Bear Creek habitat restoration area along the Bear Creek recreational trail between 1:00 and 3:00 PM. Parking is available at the Redmond Town Center shopping mall lots across Bear Creek Parkway from the recreational trail and presentation location. Questions: call Lorelea Hudson 206 781-1909 ex 6711
