The Oregon Archaeological Society (OAS), a non-profit
organiza tion, was founded in 1951 as important Native American sites, including Celilo Falls,
were about to be flooded by The
Dalles Dam on the Columbia River. At that time many believed that
sites should be excavated before they disappeared beneath the water.
OAS stresses the importance of working with professional
archaeologists in the advancement of knowledge, and educating the public. To that
end OAS adopted a code of ethics, recognizing the importance of State and
Federal laws which protect archaeological sites.
Come join the OAS for an educational, fun, hands-on
experience. Learn about historic and prehistoric archaeology in the history-rich
Pacific Northwest. We provide a forum where people can learn, share ideas, and
participate in archaeology. No prior experience is necessary, only a willingness to learn and
to have fun with others who are interested in archaeology.
