Sales will be at points along the Columbia River banks in areas including Marine Park in Student uncovers ancient figurine during dig MEDFORD (AP) - At first, archaeological student Christian Solfisburg figured he'd unearthed yet another rock during a dig in the upper Rogue River drainage. But then he looked closer. Actually, he'd found a ce ramic figurine of a human, bro ken off at the waist with two small arms, its facial features worn away by time. The figurine was likely fash ioned centuries ago by Ameri can Indians. "It may not look like much, but it is the most complete figu rine found in this region so far," said Mark Tveskov, associate professor of anthropology at Southern Oregon University, which sponsors an annual ar chaeological field school, along with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. Tveskov told the Medford Mail-Tribune that it isn't yet known what the clay figure was used for. "There isn't a lot of infor mation in Indian oral tradition about these kinds of figurines," he told the newspaper. "It could be anything from a toy to a real sacred object. We don't really know.

Sockeye salmon, which typi cally return from the sea to freshwater in June through mid July, boasted historical runs as large as 3 million fish. Biologists predict this year's run of about 115,000 sockeye will comprise the tenth largest since 1960 and the second largest in a decade. Tribal fishers, however, plan a limited harvest of a little more than 8,000 sockeye. camp with people traveling up from larger riverside villages. The inhabitants were probably upland Takelma or Mollala In dians, he said. In addition to the figurine and remnants of stone tools, the site is also revealing evidence of how Indians managed their land scape, particularly with fire, Tveskov said. . Xtnrv for the.

Fish sales through July With a record run of sum mer chinook salmon returning to the Columbia River basin, fishers from the Warm Springs, Yakama, Umatilla, Nez Perce tribes are gearing up for over-the-bank public sales from now through July 31. Tribal fishers are selling the fish at points along the Colum bia River banks in areas includ ing Marine Park in Cascade Locks; Lone Pine in The Dalles; North Bonneville, a mile east of Bonneville Dam; and Columbia Point in Washington's Tri-Cities area.

"We're still in a conservative harvest framework,'' said fish ery scientist Stuart Ellis of the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission. "But this year's summer Chinook run pro vides enough fish to allow some reasonable opportunities."
