Ozette Archeological Project, Interim Final Report, Phase XII
Phase XII (1978) excavations at the Ozette site, a prehistoric and protohistoric Makah village, concentrated on the floor middens of House 2 and 3 (400 B.P.) and 5 (+400 B.P.). A test coring program outside the houses was partially unsuccessful. All artifact data were computerized for inventory. Several cordage types are found in different areas of the houses and imply different activities and status. Cordage confirms the importance of sea mammal procurement at the site and along with cordage from other sites supports regional cultural trait boundaries previously demonstrated with basketry. Various shapes of wood chips correspond with different wood working activities and family areas within houses. Bent-wood boxes were constructed with diverse techniques. Single whale bone tool types were used for several different purposes.
