The following framework will inform interpretive ideas and concepts that will be integrated into overall concepts for the park and explored in more detail as the master planning process progresses. The mission and principles provide philosophical guidance for achieving goals. Mission: The mission for interpretation at Lake Byllesby Regional Park is… To encourage an appreciation of the natural and cultural resources at Lake Byllesby Regional Park, to make connections to the lives we lead today, and to promote stewardship of Cannon Valley resources. Principles: Interpretation at Lake Byllesby Regional Park will: 1. Be personal to the audience. 2. Provide context for the facts being presented. 3. Aim not to instruct but to stimulate people into action. 4. Aim to present a whole rather than a part and explain the relationships between things. 5. Convey factual information and authentic stories. 6. Create a cohesive visitor experience linked to the themes and subthemes. 7. Link the resources and landscapes (i.e., tangible resources) to intangible and universally understood concepts and stories. 8. Foster discovery and contemplation (i.e., encourage visitors to accurately understand the landscape, ask new questions, and draw their own conclusions). 9. Be accessible to the greatest extent possible (e.g., adhere to universal design principles). 10. Accommodate multiple learning styles and levels of interest, and present information in easy-to-understand terms. 11. Foster preservation of historical, cultural, and natural resources. 12. Reflect a range of interpretive methods (e.g., structured and unstructured; active and passive). Goals for Interpretation: The goals for interpretation at Lake Byllesby Regional Park are to: 1. Educate park visitors about the natural and cultural resources at Lake Byllesby Regional Park and help them make connections with the past, present, and future. 2. Encourage visitors to feel connected to a larger community: cultural, regional, and/or global. 3. Provide visitors with engaging and relevant experiences through a variety of media. 4. Provide opportunities for people of diverse perspectives and backgrounds to appreciate the resources and the history of this place and how it relates to their personal history. 5. Provide opportunities for visitors to engage in stewardship. Lake Byllesby Regional Park - Interpretive Framework Jan 2017 106 Group 1 8 6. Ensure that interpretive elements are appropriate to the context (e.g., prominent iconic elements as well as not intrusive on the landscape or other park functions and facilities). 7. Ensure the park experience is worthwhile and conveys the park's unique attributes. Theme and Subthemes The interpretive theme, subthemes, and potential storylines are developed from reviewing the previous park master plan, consulting with the project team, and additional research. A theme is the central, or key, message of all interpretation at a site. It may or may not appear in writing, exhibits, and programming, but all interpretive efforts should fall within the scope of the interpretive theme. A theme provides organizational structure and clarity to the main message that visitors encounter when they visit a site or travel along a trail. After their experience, visitors should be able to summarize the main point of interpretation in one sentence; this is the interpretive theme. A theme is different from a topic in that it expresses a complete idea or message. A topic is a broad general category, such as biking, transportation, or river. A theme should answer the question, “So what?” It should tell visitors why a specific topic is important. A theme should: Be stated as a short, simple, complete sentence Contain only one main idea, if possible Reveal the overall purpose of the site Be specific Connect tangible resources to universally understood concepts Supporting subthemes develop the central theme and provide organization for interpretation. Main Theme: Lake Byllesby Regional Park and its surrounds have been a gathering place along the Cannon River over time. Although the landscape has radically changed, people continue to be drawn to the distinctive waterways, landscapes, and vistas found here. Subthemes & Potential Storylines: The Power of Attraction: This area has been a gathering place over time, attracting people to its bounty and beauty. Flowing water and diverse landscapes once provided sustenance, now people come to enjoy outdoor recreation and distinctive vistas. o Potential Storylines: This subtheme would cover stories related to the topics of settlement and recreation, such as: . Historically, fur traders used the river for transportation; today, park and regional visitors enjoy a range of recreational activities. People are drawn to many vistas throughout the

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Robert M. Burnett for the Master of Arts in Anthropology presented May 3, 1991. Title: The Burnett Site: A Cascade Phase Camp on the Lower Willamette River. APPROVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: Kenneth M. Ames, Chair Jofut Fagan ;f Artifacts recovered from archaeological excavations near the Willamette River in Lake Oswego, Oregon indicate the presence there of a Late Windust-­ Early Cascade Phase site possibly dating to 9,000 B.P. The assemblage includes 137 projectile points, bifaces or point fragments, nearly all of the Cascade-type. Two stem fragments and one complete point which are similar to those of the 2 Windust Phase which dates 10,000-8,000 B.P. in the southern Columbia Plateau also were found. Stone knives, choppers, scrapers, hammerstones, cores and microblades also are included in the assemblage.

  • Dart and Arrow Points on the Columbia Plateau of Western North America
    AQ75(2)Ames_Layout 1 4/12/10 12:22 PM Page 287 DART AND ARROW POINTS ON THE COLUMBIA PLATEAU OF WESTERN NORTH AMERICA Kenneth M. Ames, Kristen A. Fuld, and Sara Davis The timing of the bow and arrow’s introduction, spread, and replacement of the atlatl is an important research question in North American prehistory. Although regional archaeologists have not focused on the issue, it is generally thought that the bow and arrow were introduced on the Columbia Plateau ca. 2,300 years ago and completely replaced the atlatl by 1000 B.P. We apply two sets of discriminate functions and four threshold values to three large projectile point samples from the Columbia Plateau and a control sample from the Western Great Basin. Our results indicate that the atlatl was used on the Plateau by ca. 10,800 B.P. While the bow and arrow may have been present by 8500 B.P., they were ubiquitous in the region by 4400 B.P. Atlatl use appears to have increased for a while after 3000 B.P. At the same time, metric differences between dart and arrow points strengthened. Darts became rare after 1500 B.P. but seem to have been in use in small numbers at least until contact. El momento de introducción y dispersión del arco y flecha así como su reemplazo por el atlatl constituyen importantes temas de investigación de la prehistoria de Norte América. Aunque los arqueólogos regionales no se han concentrado en este tema, en general se piensa que el arco y flecha fueron introducidos en la meseta de Columbia hace unos 2,300 años y que reem - plazaron completamente al atlatl hacia 1000 a.P.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Robert Alexander Nisbet Jr. for the degree of Master of Arts in Inter- disciplinary Studies inxithropolo/History /Re ,same Recreation pre- seated on March 19, 1981. Title: The Lanceolate Projectile Point in SouthwesternOregon: fareect ive from the plegate River. Abstractapproved:k_4, zL DavidR.Brauner Archaeological investigations of the Applegate Lake project area were conducted by the Department of Anthropology, Oregon State Univer- from 1977-1980.A cultural sequence believed to span over 8000 years was revealed from a series of six sites.Several of these sites contained lanceolate or leaf-shaped projectile points.A large serrated variety is similar in form and age to specimens referred to as "Cascade'' points in the southern Columbia Plateau, considered by some to be the hallmark artifact of an expansive Old Cordilleran Culture. Smaller varieties of lanceolate projectile points are comparable to finds along the middle and upper Rogue River. Comparisons of projectile point morphology and technology demon- strates considerable variation in southwestern Oregon for the large lanceolate projectile point type, while the smaller variety may exhibit somewhat less variability.Assemblage and projectile point comparisons do not indicate that the Old Cordilleran Culture concept is applicable to this part of the state.The archaeological and linguistic evidence is also not supportive of a movement of Old Cordilleran/Penutian speak- people through this part of the state and into California.Instead, only the idea of the lanceolate projectile and the larger weapon system it was a part of diffused throughout the Pacific Northwest at an early time level.In southwestern Oregon other aspects of culture were con- :ably diversified by as early as,6000 years ago.
