The old Ozette Village of the Makah Indian Tribe is located on Cape Alava on the Pacific Coast of the State of Washington about 12 miles south of Cape Flattery. Ozette Village, which seems to have been occupied for seveal thousand years, became abandoned in the 1920s. ... With the rare chance of investigating a large, undistrubed village before him, Dr. Richard D. Daugherty of Washington State University led a field crew to the site in the summer of 1966. ... Plans were made to make extensive investigations of these houses after demonstration in 1967 of improved excavation techniques. ... The immediate goal in 1970 was to protect the exposed material and uncover the rest of the house which attracted renewed attention to the site. ... So far, more than 14,000 artifacts have been catalogued from the area which includes the first buried house to be exposed.
