Ozette: households, preservation, and Makah authority

Reviewed community and place names are preserved where supported; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.

The Makah museum explains that a slide protected wood and household materials; it reports an approximate radiocarbon age rather than a single exact date. The museum distinguishes its exhibits and full-size replicas from the ancient belongings that inform them.

Preserved household and community-curated context Late precontact occupation–1700 CE; slide dates qualified and later museum history separate Waterlogged household materials, radiocarbon estimates and Makah museum interpretation Neah Bay, Washington, United States (orientation only): approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, private compound or vulnerable-deposit location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty, fishing, farming, water-rights or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting or travel permission is implied.
Resumen

Hogares costeros, conexiones fluviales y evidencias

Conexiones costeras, insulares, estuarinas y fluviales

Neah Bay, Washington, United States is a modern orientation, not an ancient capital or boundary. Several households and differentiated work are not evidence of one undifferentiated coastal tribe or a universal social hierarchy.

Organización política y escala comunitaria

Several households and differentiated work are not evidence of one undifferentiated coastal tribe or a universal social hierarchy. Museum pages use approximate slide ages, not one universally proven calendar year; surviving houses are a selective archive, not frozen timeless Makah culture.

Transformación posterior, patrimonio vivo y recepción moderna

Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; this atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent, recognition or membership. Makah language and cultural authority remain living; archaeology cannot determine membership or authorize restricted stories. Later colonial, research, reconstruction and stewardship events are dated separately from the main archaeological context.

Preserved household record The Makah museum explains that a slide protected wood and household materials; it reports an approximate radiocarbon age rather than a single exact date.

    A slide covered part of the village; published approximate ages should not be flattened into a precise universal event.

  2. Storm exposure

    The museum describes storm damage followed by Tribal contact with researchers, not the beginning of Makah knowledge.

    [S1]

  3. Excavation begins

    The Makah museum dates the excavation's start and explains Tribal retention of the resulting collection.

    [S1]
