Ancient America: Columbia River cave artifacts (museum exhibit)

Included in the Cashmere Museum in Cashmere, Washington is an exhibit of the Bob Enlow Collection of American Indian artifacts. The items in this exhibit were found in caves along the Columbia River in the Trinidad area. According to the Museum:

“The dryness of the caves preserved much of the wood and plant material that the elements would have destroyed out in the open.”
