Mount Coffin : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mount Coffin
Mount Coffin was a promontory in what is now Longview, Cowlitz County, Washington, U.S.. It served as native burial grounds for the Skillute, a Chinook Jargon speaking tribe who practiced above-ground interment of their deceased. The ''memaloose illahee'', or cemetery was named by Lieutenant William Robert Broughton of George Vancouver's expedition aboard the HMS Chatham in 1792. The landmark was leveled for its gravel during construction of the Port of Longview.〔 ==Physical observation== Mount Coffin was tall and was formed by sediment carried by the Columbia River and Cowlitz River, which coagulated at the merging point of these two entities. The material consisted of basalt sediment, mainly material derived from volcanic ash.
