A history of restoration efforts for Vancouver Lake

Hibbs, C.H. and L. Ross. 1972. Archaeological reconnaissance of the southern shore of Vancouver Lake, Clark County, Washington.

INTRODUCTION: On September 23, 1972, Fred Bohannon (Archaeologist, National Park Service, Pacific Northwest Region) requested that the senior author conduct an archaeological survey of a proposed Corps of Engineers levee route across the southern shores of Vancouver Lake. A general map and description of the new route were forwarded the following week; and detailed maps together with aerial photographs were later obtained from the Corps of Engineers office in Portland. The stated purpose of this archaeological survey was to locate and report all archaeological sites within the area of the proposed levee, and to submit recommendations regarding the archaeological remains observed.

SURVEY METHODS: The archaeological survey followed the proposed route of the new levee and included all areas between this levee and the southern shore of Vancouver Lake. Beginning at a point approximately 500 ft. south of the lake easement on the State Game Dept. access road, a western survey route was charted along with the proposed levee route to the intersection of State Highway 501 at the southwestern end of the lake. The eastern survey route consisted of following the beach from the State Game Dept. access road to the small inlet at the southeastern end of the lake, and then returning along the inland ridge of high ground parallel to the proposed levee route. Access to the extreme eastern termination of the levee route was gained from NW 69th St.

A few Corps of Engineers temporary survey markers (e.g. 1" metal pipes) were noted west from the central inlet to State Highway 501. The eastern route from the State Game Dept. access road to NW 69th Street was well marked with metal signs, and this route generally conformed to the ridge of high ground representing the transition from agricultural to lake vegetation.

Sites were recognized by surface accumulations of cracked and flaked cobbles, cultural artifacts, structural remains and patches of specie-specific vegetation such as wild rose. Most sites encountered were surface sites, and for the most part represented remains redeposited along beaches or eroded from banks along relatively high ground.
