Sunken Village Archeological Site (35MU4) is an archaeological site on Sauvie Island
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.[cite web|url=http://oregonpreservation.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=168|title=Threatened Resources : Unique Oregon Prehistoric Site Threatened |date= 2008-04-05|author= Stephen Poyser|publisher=Oregon Preservation Society News| accessdate= 2005-08-09] ]With next to no 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.
