Your Dungeness Fact: The first evidence of humans in the Dungeness watershed comes from the Manis Mastodon site south of Sequim. In 1977, Emanual Manis uncovered tusks of a mastodon while digging a pond. Archeologists excavated the site until 1985, finding evidence of at least 12 levels of human occupation ranging from 14,000 to 6000 years ago. At least three individual mastodons died at the site and at least two were butchered by humans. They also found butchered remains of ancient bison, larger than the American bison of today.
