  • Descriptive Analysis of Human Remains from the Fuller and Fanning Mounds
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF David Stepp for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in the co- departments of Anthropology, Zoology, and Statistics presented onFebruary 2, 1994. Title :Descriptive Analysis of Human Remains from the Fuller and Fanning Mounds, Yamhill River, Willamette Valley, Oregon Redacted for Privacy Abstract Approved : Roberta Hall The study presents the results of a descriptive analysis of the skeletal remains of 66 individuals recovered from the Fuller and Fanning Mound sites, located on the Yamhill River, Willamette Valley, Oregon, excavated in 1941-42 by W. T. Edmundson and William S. Laughlin. The literature and original field notes have been analyzed, and a description of burial type, side, orientation, grave type, associations, original preservation, and other information has been compiled for each individual. A tally of each of these burial attributes for the Yamhill population as a whole is also completed. In addition, an assessment of age, sex, and stature, a series of craniometric measurements, and non-metric traits, a dental analysis, and general description of obvious pathologic and morphologic condition of each individual and the group as a whole have been accomplished. Differences in trade item associations between deformed and non-deformed individuals suggest either a later arrival of cranial deformation practices (and possibly another cultural group) to the area, and possibly a multiple occupation of the Fuller and Fanning sites, or an elite class separation defined in part by artificial deformation of crania. Cranial deformation is also associated with the frequency of certain cranial discrete traits. Sexual dimorphism was noted in metric but not in non-metric analyses.

  • Four Deaths: the Near Destruction of Western
    DAVID G. LEWIS Four Deaths The Near Destruction of Western Oregon Tribes and Native Lifeways, Removal to the Reservation, and Erasure from History THE NOTIONS OF DEATH and genocide within the tribes of western Oregon are convoluted. History partially records our removal and near genocide by colonists, but there is little record of the depth of these events — of the dramatic scale of near destruction of our peoples and their cultural life ways. Since contact with newcomers, death has come to the tribes of western Oregon in a variety of ways — through epidemic sicknesses, followed by attempted genocide, forced marches onto reservations, reduction of land holdings, broken treaty promises, attempts to destroy tribal culture through assimilation, and the termination of federal recognition of sovereign, tribal status. Death, then, has been experienced literally, culturally, legally, and even in scholarship; for well over a century, tribal people were not consulted and were not adequately represented in historical writing. Still, the people have survived, restoring their recognized tribal status and building structures to maintain and regain the people’s health and cultural well-being. This legacy of death and survival is shared by all the tribes of Oregon, though specific details vary, but the story is not well known or understood by the state’s general public. Such historical ignorance is another kind of death — one marked by both myth and silence. An especially persistent myth is the notion that there lived and died a “last” member of a particular tribe or people. The idea began in the late nineteenth century, when social scientists who saw population declines at the reservations feared that the tribes would die off before scholars could collect their data and complete their studies.

  • Watershed Characteristics
    SECTION 2 Watershed Characteristics This section describes drainage characteristics unique to the City of McMinnville and the watersheds that drain through the City. The following drainage characteristics are summarized: location, study area parameters, climate, soil conditions, topography, groundwater, existing drainage facilities, and existing and future land use conditions. This information will be used in the master plan to evaluate the performance of the existing drainage facilities and to identify future drainage requirements. 2.1 Location The City of McMinnville is located in Yamhill County, situated in the northern Willamette Valley between the Coastal and Cascade Mountain ranges. It is approximately 35 miles southwest of Portland and 26 miles northwest of Salem, Oregon. The City of McMinnville is mostly situated between the North and South Forks of the Yamhill River just upstream of their confluence. The Yamhill River flows northeastward from McMinnville approximately 7 miles before reaching the Willamette River. Four major waterways drain the City of McMinnville: Cozine Creek with its branches, Baker Creek, North Yamhill River, and the South Yamhill River. Figure 2-1, Topography Map, shows the location of these four major waterways. The area of the entire watershed that drains McMinnville and drains through the McMinnville urban growth boundary (UGB) is approximately 10,727 acres, 50 percent of which is drained by Cozine Creek. Cozine Creek, in turn, discharges into the South Fork of the Yamhill River. 2.2 Study Area Delineation While this master plan considers the runoff impact from the entire watershed that drains through the City, the specific study area for this plan is the McMinnville UGB.

  • Yamhill County Road Names
    Yamhill County Road Names By Dan Linscheid Dedication This booklet is dedicated to the memory of Ruth Stoller, first historian of the Yamhill County Historical Society. (October 26, 1915 – May 23, 1994) PREFACE In December 1983, the Yamhill County Rural Addressing Project Study Committee issued a proposal for a new addressing system for all rural residents. The then Yamhill County Commissioner, Dave Bishop, coordinated this effort. Many county roads, referred to only by number, required research and citizen input so that appropriate names could be assigned. This was ten years ago; so I thought people might be interested in the origins of the names in our county road system. In 1984, I was chosen to coordinate the road naming process working closely with the Yamhill County Historical Society in seeking roots and interesting tidbits about pioneers after which many of our roads are named. While the initially proposed names of many roads were derived from names of area pioneers, in many cases, appeals by affected property owners resulted in changes. The author has tried to give the reader some idea of the location of the road before describing its origins. Also included are anecdotal information or other historical data received during the naming process. When the County Courthouse in Lafayette burned down in January of 1857, all road records were lost. Some Road Supervisors were afraid to improve or maintain their roads for fear the roads had lost their legal status due to the fire. This explains the hundreds of road creation proceedings recorded within the first several years of Commissioner's Journals beginning in February of 1857.
