Introduction
Mr. Dana Hamar plans to construct a single-family residence and garage on his residential lots (MLA13-
00068, Lots 36 & 37) located at 620 Beckett Point Road, Port Townsend, Washington (Figures 1- 4). Mr.
Tlamar retained Sylvester L. Lahren, Jr. Ph.D. to provide the archaeological services necessary to
complete the project.
In order to develop his lots for these structures the following seven ground disturbing activities (LDAs)
will be required (Figures 5 & 6):

Beckett Point is the location of prehistoric archaeological site 45JE305 (Wessen and Hutchings 2007). On
October 17, 2013 Ms. Gretchen Kaehler (2013a: I ), Assistant State Archaeologist, Department of
Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) sent a letter to Ms. Zoe Ann Lamp (Planner, Jefferson
County) stating that a professional archaeologist must be present to monitor demolition and bulkhead
replacement and that a monitoring plan needed to be submitted to DAHP and interested Tribes for review
two weeks before commencement of the project. In addition, she stated that the correspondence indicates
that there are plans to construct a single-family residence, which will require a professional
archaeological survey prior to ground disturbance for the residence.
On October 30, 2013 Ms. Kaehler (2013b: I) sent a second letter to Ms. Zoe Ann Lamp stating that the
proposed project is within 200 feet of a precontact human burial and that an "Archaeological -Permit"
from DAHP is required for Archaeological Monitoring and it will take 45 to 60 days for DAHP to review
and issue the permit. Dr. Lahren submitted an application to DAHP for a permit and February 19, 2014
and on Apri 19, 2014 "Permit No: 2-14-05" was approved to conduct the (I ) archaeological survey, and
(2) presence/absence testing.
The survey and testing was completed on April 18, 2014. No archaeological resources were observed
during the survey or testing. Due to the sensitive nature of this location, monitoring is recommended for
all ground disturbing activities associated with this project.
Beckett Point is a small point jutting out into Discovery Bay located 10 miles from the City of Port
Townsend in Jefferson County, Washington. The Beckett Point Fisherman's Club, which land -lease lots
on a long-term basis, owns the comnumity. Beckett Point area is located in the northeastern portion of
Discovery Bay in Jefferson County and consists of about 20 acres (Figures 1, 2 & 3). Most of it is located
in the eastern half of Section 23, Township 30 North, Range 2 West with a small portion of the
southeastern corner extending into the southwestern quarter of Section 24, Township 30 North, Range 2
West. This land area has been extensively altered by historic developments. Much of the lagoon has been
Filled and two roads and numerous residences (72) have been built along the outer edges of the point.
Fifty-eight of the homes are located along Beckett Point Road and 14 houses are scattered along View
Point Lane.

The project is subject to review for potential effects to historic properties under state laws and regulations
protecting cultural resources (e,g., RCW 27.44, RCW 27.53), The Archaeological Sites and Resources
Act (RCW 27.53) prohibits knowingly disturbing archaeological sites without a permit from the
Washington Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP), and the Indian Graves and
Records Act: (RCW 27.44) prohibits knowingly disturbing Native American or historic graves. This
assessment was developed with the goal of ensuring that no Cultural resources are disturbed during
construction of the proposed project and to determine the potential for any as -yet unrecorded cultural
resources within the project area.
Wessen and Hutchings (2007:33) have identified an area ole"Disturbed Midden" they called D4 which
includes the lots located at 620 Beckett Point Road (Figure 7). The human remains were located at the
boat ramp and extend northward into what has been identified as "Potentially Intact Midden" number 1314
(figure 7).
(a) Sufficient background information and summail, of previous field investigation, research
and data gaps about the site(s) proposed for excavation such that the reviewers have a
comprehensive understanding of the site(s) and current research questions to be able to review the
proposal as a complete document.
Prior to 2007, there had been no archaeological studies of Beckett Point. According to Gunther (1927),
Beckett Point is located within the traditional territory of the S'Klallam Indian cultural group (Wessell
2009a:1). In 2007, an archaeological survey and evaluation of site 45JE305 was conducted on Beckett
Point in order to allow the installation of a new sewer line system (Wessen and Hutchings 2007; Wessen
2007). Wessen (2009x:1-2) states that his literature search for this project revealed no ethnographic or
early historic documents that identified a S'Klallam settlement on Beckett Point. Referring to his work in
2007, Wessen (2009x:1-2) summarized the local archaeology as follows:
That worked (sic) identified areas of apparently intact, and clearly disturbed, shell
midden deposits at several locations on the Beckett Point landform. The graves, however,
were not directly associated with the shell midden deposits and it is therefore not possible
to draw clear inferences about where additional graves might be located. As such, the
entire landform was recorded as archaeological site 45JE305 (Wessen and Hutchings
2007) (Wessen 2009a:1-2).
The potaltial for encountering archaeological materials at Beckett Point varies considerably within the
area. Wesscn and Hutchings (2007) have shown that the landform consists of three types of locations: (1)
locations with potentially intact cultural deposits, (2) locations with disturbed cultural materials, and (3)
locations that have no cultural deposits or cultural materials, It is also known that much of the Beckett
Point area has been covered with fill materials that have been deposited there by the residents over the last
60 years. In some areas, these fill materials may have covered intact cultural deposits. It is also possible
that cultural deposits may have been quarried and the cultural sediments were then used as a fill material
elsewhere in the area. Shell midden deposits and graves are known to be present at Beckett Point, but
these previously identified sites are not associated with each other. However, there is the potential for
middens and graves to be associated.
Wessen and I lutching's 2007 study did evaluate the 620 and 630 Beckett Point addresses and found the
following soils profiles and cultural materials, which they classified as "Disturbed Midden:"

Specifically, at the 620 address they identify three stratums of which stratum two is classified as
Disturbed Midden and occurs between 12 to 28 inches (30 - 70 curbs),
Since Wessen and Hutching's work at Beckett Point in 2007, Wessen (2009x, 2009b), has reported on two
archaeological survey projects located at 840 and 970 Beckett Point Road and one monitoring project
(Wessen 201 1). No archaeological resources were observed during these studies. Bard and Lahren (2009,
20 10) and Lahren (201 1 a, 2011 b, 2011 a -g) have conducted 1 1 archaeological survey, testing, and
monitoring projects at Beckett Point and no archaeological resources were observed during these studies,
All of these reports are on filed with DAHP.

(b) The nature and extent of the work proposed., including how and why it is proposed to be
conducted and the methods proposed for excavation and recovery, number and placement of
excavation units, proposed excavation volumes, proposed time of performance, locational maps,
and a completed site inventory form.
The goal of this effort is to identify any archaeological resources that might be present in the project area
and to document them. The objective of the survey and presence/absence testing was to ascertain if intact
archaeological deposits are present within the project footprint (Figures 4 & 5). Archaeological resources
could include additional shell midden deposits and/or graves as both are already known to be present at
Beckett Point. The following three phases and associated tasks needed to be completed to accomplish this
goa 1:
Phase 1;
'task 1: Prepare an (I ) Archaeological Excavation Permit and (2) Inadvertent Discovery Plan to
Conduct and an archaeological survey and presence/absence testing of the project area.
'Mask 2: The application Was submitted on February 19, 2014 and "Permit No: 2014-05 issued on April 9,
2014.
Phase 2: 'task 1: The permitted survey and testing was completed on April 18, 2014.
The excavation footprint ofthe proposed residence and garage had been outlined on the ground with pin
(lags. A pedestrian survey was conducted which covered 100% of the surface area of the lot. Most of the
garage surface area was covered Nvith lawn and there was less vegetation on the residence lot (Figure 4).
The surface survey did not reveal any archaeological resources.
'the surface survey was augmented by presence/absence shovel testing. Nine Test Units (TUs) were hand
excavated using a shovel and barrel auger. Excavated materials were set aside and visually examined as
each partial shovel/auger probe was extracted. Due to the sensitive nature of this area, the amount of
material excavated during each partial probe was approximately 4 inches (10 cm) or less. Four TUs were
placed at the four corners of the proposed residence and four were placed at the corners of the garage and
all eight were excavated to a depth of 76 centimeters (30") below the surface (cmbs), One TU was placed
at the location of the grinder pump and it was excavated to a depth of 86 cmbs (34") and was terminated
at this point due to rock. Due to the small amount of sediment excavated for each probe, it was not
necessary to use a screen. Each TU was back-filled after examination. A utility locate was conducted
prior to testing (#14089335). The depositional structure exposed in each TU is recorded in Table 2. The
presence/absence testing did not reveal any archaeological resources.

Task 2: This is the interim report required to be submitted to DAHP and the Tribes for their review.
Interim Report Summary and Recommendation
The survey and testing was completed on April 18, 2014. No archaeological resources were observed
during the survey or testing. Due to the sensitive nature of this location, monitoring is recommended for
all ground disturbing activities associated with this project.
Phase 3: To be completed at a later date after the interim report is approved by DAHP.
Task 1: Depending on the results of that review, an addendum will be developed for any
additional archaeological work required such as monitoring and/or data recovery.
Task 2: Complete the permitted monitoring.
Task 3: Prepare final report for Phase 3.
Task 4: Preparation of an updated site form, if necessary.

Inadvertent Discovery Plan
Discovery Procedures
In the event of an archaeological discovery while surveying and testing or monitoring, the following
procedures will be implemented consistent with State laws (RCW 27.44 [Indian Graves and Records],
RCW 27.53 [Archaeological Sites and Resources], and RCW 68,60 [Abandoned and Historic Cemeteries
and Historic Graven), At the first indication of a discovery, ground disturbance will be terminated.
Lahren will take appropriate action to clarify the nature of the discovery, secure the site, and notify
appropriate officials. He may examine the materials encountered, but no additional digging in that test
unit will occur and no cultural materials will be recovered or collected.
If the discovery appears to be an archaeological deposit with no human remains, Lahren will finish the
survey and presence/absence testing and then notify: ( I ) the property owner, (2) DAHP, (3) Jamestown
S'Klallam Tribc, (4) Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe, (5) Lower Elwha Klallam 'Tribe, (6) Skokomish Tribe
and (7) Jefferson County UDC Administrator (list below). Details ofthe discovery will be discussed with
these parties and the decisions about subsequent treatments will be developed based on these discussions.
If human remains are discovered, Lahren will immediately cease all activities and notify the Following
entities: ( I ) the property owner, (2-3) DAI-111, (4) Clallam County Sheriff, and (5) Clallam County
Coroner, (6) Jamestown S'Klallarn Tribe, (7) Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe and (8) Lower Elwha Klallam
Tribe, (9) Skokomish Indian Tribe, and (10) Jefferson County UDC Administrator (see list below). The
Coroner will assume jurisdiction over the human remains and will determine if the remains are forensic or
non -Forensic. If the remains are determined non -forensic, the Coroner will report that finding to the
DAHP, who will assume jurisdiction and report this finding to the appropriate cemeteries and Tribes. The
State Physical Anthropologist will examine the human remains and determine if the remains are Indian or
Non -Indian and report that finding to the affected parties. The DAHP will then handle all consultation
with the affected parties as to the future preservation or excavation and disposition of the remains.

The proposed work is archaeological survey, presence/absence testing and monitoring, with a contingency
plan for dealing with archaeological materials/human remains if these are identified. The articulation of
this study's findings within any particular proposed regional cultural framework will not be a high
priority because of its limited scope. Similarly, the study results cannot be considered to be a test of any
particular model of prehistoric settlement and subsistence patterns or other cultural process dynamics.
'['his approach is consistent with earlier investigations by Wessen (2007, 2009) at the site. if intact
archaeological deposits arc identified, construction alternatives would be possible.
