Wenas Creek Mammoth Project The Wenas Creek Mammoth Project is a Central Washington University (CWU) scientific investigation of mammoth bones found on private land in the Wenas Creek Valley near Selah, Washington. The investigation is interdisciplinary, using methods from paleontology, archaeology, and geography. The goal of the project is careful scientific recovery of bones and associated artifacts, while placing the finds into appropriate context of physical geography. The project includes summer excavations offered as field schools, public site tours, presentations, and volunteer opportunities. Announcements

A seven minute video describing the project is now posted with a link at the left. The project was also included in the History Channel's "Journey to 10,000 BC" which first aired March 9, 2008. See www.history.com for more shows. Watch and see some of the excavations!" The dig is now closed to the public. We plan to be open to the public again when we continue excavations in the summer of 2010. More information will be posted by June, 2010.
