8000 Years on the Selway
The Selway River in Idaho has hosted humans for thousands of years with Salmon and Steelhead fisheries, resources to build shelters, and amazing water. Over the summers of 2018 and 2019 archeological research has been conducted on the Selway to clarify and protect the artifacts in the river valley. Jeff Adams explains as much as he can, the story of humans along the Selway long before the Europeans arrived.

Show Notes
For two summers, I have been able to row gear boats down the Selway to support this archaeology research. My view has been that of the laymen, the novice archeologist, the boater. At the end of each summer's trip, I have interviewed Jeff Adams of Interior West Consulting to hear the onsite interpretation of what was recorded over the past 8 days. The stone artifacts tell a story. The river and its perfect water add to the story. While I find it stubbornly awkward to make assumptions about a human existence a few hundred years ago to several thousand years ago, I absolutely thrive when I am able to contemplate my short life and how I am like, and am different from the humans who came before me. This show is two people sitting in an amazing place wondering about life beyond their own. https://www.facebook.com/theriverradius/?ref=bookmarks Also on Instagram at The River Radius, and https://www.theriverradius.com
