Sunken Village Archeological Site is an archaeological site on Sauvie Island in Multnomah County, Oregon, United States.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1989.
The site consists of a remarkably well-preserved Chinookan village, dating back more than 700 years.
With scarce law enforcement presence, looting of artifacts is a constant threat to the site's stability.
The site is more immediately threatened by potential engineering work that may damage the site, in order to support an earthen dam.
