Archaeological apocrypha

edit

I've been perusing the J.A. Costello work on Indian History of the Northwest - Siwash and have found all kinds of interesting tidbits; here's one on p.122 its continuation on http://www.1st-hand-history.org/siwash/123.jpg p.123] that's a head-sratcher; maybe there's something on this in the years since? Stone tombs....don't get me started....there was once an idea that the Scowlitz Mounds were pre-Salishan also, but this?? Anyway mention is also made of an old, mysterious site at the mouth of the Duwamish River....this is nowhere near Bellingham Bay but it's suspiciously close in context to teh legend/theory of "Hermosa", the purported pirate haven there associated in some accounts with the "Spanish expedition" to Kelowna which got wiped out near Keremeos on their theoretical return trip to the Coast. Didn't know where else to post these, more as a heads-up as neither one has anythintg to build much of an article on. So far.Skookum1 (talk) 17:53, 14 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
