Dig near Sandifur Bridge


Dig near Sandifur Bridge

At the confluence of Latah Creek and the Spokane River there is a major archeologic dig. The city is going to put in an underground water tank for street runoff. The area was a fishery site for the Spokane Indians. The archeologists have so far found a lot of mussel shells, fish bones, hearths, tools and arrowheads. It looks like the native americans had a pretty nice spot to catch and cook mussels and salmon.
