“Since Time Immemorial”: A Revised History of the Northeast Olympic Peninsula

A high-level overview of the cultural history of the NOP, presented through the broader framework of human presence in North America. The “Clovis first” theory has fallen out of favor as an increasing mountain of evidence shows that humans have been in North America for at least 20,000-30,000 years. This presentation examines some of the new evidence, and how these findings change (or don’t!) our understanding of human history on the NOP.
