Archaeologists in Washington are excited about the discovery of yet another tribal site near a state construction project but this one isn't expected to delay work.
More than 900 artifacts have been found on the banks of the Duwamish River where the state's Sound Transit plans a light rail bridge. No human remains have been uncovered so far and none are expected.
Archaeologists say the find is significant because most Duwmish sites in the Seattle area have been destroyed by development. The Duwamish, Muckleshoot and Suquamish tribes are being consulted.
