Friends and colleagues: In 1971, a Seattle television station carried two
programs about wet-site excavations at the Ozette Site, which has been
called the "Pompeii of the Northwest."  We are proud to bring you the first
of these programs as People of the Whale, Part 1,  the latest video offering
on our public education website, The Archaeology Channel
(http://www.archaeologychannel.org).

Located on the outer coastline of Washington's Olympic Penninsula, the
Ozette Site yielded the perfectly preserved remains of a pre-contact Makah
village beneath a series of mudslides.  This made-for-TV program depicts
archaeological fieldwork at Ozette in 1970, the first of 12 seasons of work
that recovered 55,000 artifacts now displayed at the Makah Cultural and
Research Center in Neah Bay, Washington.  The archival footage in this film
is destined to be a key resource for those studying and teaching the history
of North American archaeology.

This and other programs are available on TAC for your use and enjoyment.  If
you feel that this project is a worthy endeavor, please participate in our
Membership (http://www.archaeologychannel.org/member.html) and Underwriting
(http://www.archaeologychannel.org/sponsor.html) programs.  Only with your
help can we continue and enhance this nonprofit public-education and
visitor-supported service.  We also welcome new content partners as we reach
out to the world community.

Please forward this message to others who may be interested.
