This is the sixth in a series of interim reports detailing the findings and analyses of the Fort Vancouver Archeological Project. Purposes, scope, and methods of the project were outlined in the initial report of the series. This report deals with the Sales Shop and Powder Magazine of Fort Vancouver. Both structures were highly important to the commercial operations of the Hudson’s Bay Company during its peak activities at the Fort. From historic research, this period of activity is determined to have been about 1845 when Fort Vancouver was the administrative and logistical center of Company operations in western North America. It follows that this is the period selected by the National Park Service for intensive research of Fort activities and structures for purposes of presenting an authentic reconstruction to the American public.
