Archaeology of the Haller House: Documenting Coupeville's Unseen History.
Did you know that all of Coupeville's downtown waterfront was the site of an important Skagit village? The Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation has known it for decades. Today, as we move forward to study, document and rehabilitate the historic Haller House property, our first step is to insure that we do not disturb hidden cultural resources on the land.
On the Coupeville waterfront, the Haller House property sits just on the outside edge of a State-registered archaeology site.
On April 26th & 27th of 2019, Jena Kalli & Jeremy Ripin of Full Scope NW archaeology services conduct the survey field work required by the state Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation.
