SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - Late last month city officials celebrated the 125 anniversary of incorporation. As it turns out, that's barely a pimple on 8.000 years of human habitation at the confluence of the Spo kane River and Latah Creek. In terms of continuous hu man use and habitation verified by radiocarbon dating, recent discoveries have made Spokane the oldest city in the state, said Stanley C. Gough, archaeology director at Eastern Washington University in nearby Cheney. His findings at the 25-by-60- foot site are likely no surprise to Indian tribes in the area whose oral history regards the area as a salmon fishing and food processing site dating back to ancient times. “We've known that all our lives,” said Buzz G utierrez, a Spokane Indian tribal member who was born and raised there.
