A special TAC Festival guided tour to one of the most significant and impressive archaeological sites in western Oregon. This tour is hosted by our partner, the Willamette National Forest.
Program summary: |
Join us on a hike to one of the most significant archaeological sites in western Oregon. Used by people for 8000 or more years, Cascadia Cave is located along significant indigenous travel routes and provided important cultural functions to more than one tribal group. Here the largest petroglyph grouping in western Oregon remains in excellent condition. Come view the site, hear excavation conclusions, discuss current rock art interpretations, and help plan site restoration, protection, and interpretation.
Trip Information: Bring a lunch to eat in the cave. A van will be provided and the drive is two hours each way. Be prepared for a two mile round trip hike through the woods along a flat river terrace. Also bring rain gear and boots and a change of warm clothes. We will cross one stream and follow a muddy path less traveled. We park at Cascadia State Park and use the rest rooms to change clothes if necessary.

The film's director travels "in-the-footsteps-of" Leifur Eiriksson to sites which hold evidence of the wanderers' attempts to establish life in North America, before ultimately yielding to Indians and a changing climate.

The legend of Helen of Troy has enchanted audiences for the past 3,000 years. But is there any truth to the myth? Here, Professor Manfred Korfmann, who has been excavating the city of Troy since 1988, speaks at length about his amazing discoveries. The story that emerges is one of great passion, but not, it seems, about love.
