The state of Washington has halted a road construction project after artifacts linked to the Chinook Nation were discovered.
The state will conduct more archaeological work and consult the tribe before any work resumes.
The site likely documents Chinook life at the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition.
This is the second time in as many months that the state has stopped work at a tribal site.
