Sunken Village Archeological Site is an archaeological site on Sauvie Island[3] in Multnomah County, Oregon, United States.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1989.[3]
The site consists of a remarkably well-preserved Chinookan village, dating back more than 700 years.[4]
With scarce law enforcement presence, looting of artifacts is a constant threat to the site's stability.[3]
The site is more immediately threatened by potential engineering work that may damage the site, in order to support an earthen dam.[4]
