Archaeology Of The Tundra And Arctic Alaska
were the first group of people to spread across the north American arctic, Further north, it seems to have been superseded by the Ipiutak culture
http://www.nps.gov/akso/akarc/arctic.htm

Extractions: In an area stretching along the coastline from Bristol Bay and the Alaska Peninsula, along the Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea coasts, northward around Alaska, and eastwards across the arctic all the way to Greenland, the coastline is ice-bound in winter and the terrain is generally treeless. In this zone, which can be up to several hundred kilometers broad, developed much of the culture of modern Eskimo (Inupiat and Yupik in Alaska) peoples. Some decisive and significant adaptations took place here and in adjacent Siberia that allowed a more efficient exploitation of this zone. Settlements spread and grew, in some places becoming more specialized, as the historically visible cultures appeared. One of the most distinctive and widespread Arctic cultural traditions appeared around 4000 BP. The Arctic Small Tool tradition (ASTt) was first called the Denbigh Flint complex by its discoverer, Louis Giddings (1964), after the type site on Cape Denbigh on Norton Sound. Subsequently, it has been found throughout the Tundra and Arctic Zone that is characterized by coasts that are ice-bound in winter and treeless hinterland, from the Bering Sea side of the Alaska Peninsula, northward along the coast and throughout the Brooks Range, and eventually, along the Canadian Arctic coast and the Arctic Archipelago to Greenland. The archeological assemblage is distinctive. It derives its name from the finely-flaked, tiny lithic tools that are its hallmark. Irving (1964), from the perspective of the Punyik Point site in the Brooks Range, linked the widespread appeance of these distinctive tools into the Arctic Small Tool tradition.

Extractions: Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Maps ... World Civilizations Encyclopedia of North American Indians The people who populated what we now call the Americas probably sailed or walked across the Bering Strait several thousand years agoconsiderably before the Norsemen who discovered "Vineland" and long before Columbus arrived. Only sixty miles of open water separate Alaska from Russia; the strait freezes from time to time, enabling people to walk across it. We do not know who these people were or what they called themselves. But European explorers found them from the Bering Strait to Tierra del Fuego. It is unfortunate that the people Columbus encountered continue to be classified as a homogeneous group called Indians. Native scholars use the terms Indian and Native American reluctantly. The field of archaeology is a discipline that has been little understood in the Native American community. Digging about in the ancient tombs and robbing graves are activities Native Americans associate with witchcraft and consider to be fraught with the danger of contamination and death. Traditionally, most Indian people would not consider digging up another human being's remains. However, times change. The European explorers were fascinated by the native people they encountered in North America. Who were they? The ten lost tribes of Israel? Were they human? Non-Indians sought answers to these questions by excavating ancient settlement and burial sites. And from the first, they turned to Indian laborers to assist them. But native people have long since outgrown their status as mere informants or laborers for anthropologists. They have over the past fifty years become literate and are now ready to take an active role in the wider subject of human studies. They are no longer content to be examined, poked, dissected, analyzed, and interpreted by outsiders. They now requestno, they demandthat they be allowed to take an active role in the study of their people and their cultures.

Our comparative orientation features approaches ranging from regional analysis to materials analysis, and issues such as the development of social complexity, sources of political power and legitimization, domestic and political economy, state formation, gender, culture contact, and imperial frontier processes, all viewed from a variety of theoretical perspectives.

http://www.lycoming.edu/arch/namer/breshertrail.html

Extractions: By Robin Van Auken Even on a gray afternoon, with the rain misting and a chill wind blowing, a stroll along the James P. Bressler Heritage Trail is invigorating and educational. It's also tranquil, this quiet spot along the Susquehanna River's West Branch. Completed in September, the trail is part of Loyalsock Township's Riverfront Park and is dedicated to James P. Bressler. A scholar and educator beloved in his community, Bressler has carved a niche for himself in the region's prehistory and history books with his archaeological investigations. "That is, in my estimation, one of the best-kept secrets in the county," Bressler said about the trail. "This is a unique attempt to integrate a number of different things. First of all, local history is really not being taught in our schools because there are too many competing things to teach. I understand that. But this is a unique way to combine a pleasant walk, a history lesson, and nature study. It's just a pleasure to walk around there." Excavating Native American sites for the past four decades, Bressler has led several digs on and near Canfield Island, a small spit of land turned into a man-made island by 19th-century lumber mill owners. Publishing his findings in a series of books, Bressler and volunteers from North Central Chapter No. 8, Society of Pennsylvania Archaeology, have added immensely to the area's knowledge of Native American culture as far back as 5000 B.P. (Before Present).

Extractions: Archaeology Graduate Program Faculty Undergraduate Program Archaeology is one of three programs (with Physical Anthropology and Sociocultural Anthropology) in the Department of Anthropology at Washington University. The archaeology program offers graduate and undergraduate training in a broad array of topical and geographic areas of study. We emphasize the combination of strong theoretical grounding in anthropology and archaeology with topical subspecialization to produce well trained, versatile, and marketable Ph.D. students. We also provide the opportunity for geographical concentration in Old and New World prehistory with on-going research taking place in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Bolivia, Ecuador, Mexico, Italy, Scotland, and numerous locations in the United States. Our program is highly interdisciplinary: faculty and students work with scholars in different fields at Washington University and around the globe to produce a better understanding of human culture and history. Graduate Study in Archaeology : Within the archaeology program there are areas of special concentration reflecting faculty interest and special research resources. We have highly regarded programs in paleoethnobotany , zooarchaeology, and geoarchaeology . Current faculty research is focused on the Mississippi Valley, the Southwest (including northern Mexico)

http://www.ucalgary.ca/AINA/research/projects_soc_eastern.html

Extractions: Eastern High Arctic Archaeology Project This project, started in 1977, involves long-term archaeological investigations in the Kane Basin/Smith Sound region of the central east coast of Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada. The area of study, an important migration route between the Canadian High Arctic and Greenland, extends from Washington Irving Island at the entrance to Dobbin Bay (79 33 N) south to Goding Bay (77 45 N). The overall objective of the research is to document the human presence in this region of the Canadian High Arctic, from the initial Palaeoeskimo occupations of 4000 years ago, to the arrival of the nineteenth-century European and American explorers. Specific research objectives include studies of Palaeo- and Neoeskimo subsistence patterns and hunting strategies; causal factors involved in demographic fluctuations; the importance of Arctic polynyas; the pioneering presence of the Thule culture Inuit; and High Arctic contact between Inuit and Norse populations. Some of the project results are included in the books Crossroads to Greenland: 3000 Years of Prehistory in the Eastern High Arctic and The Ruin Islanders: Early Thule Culture Pioneers in the Eastern High Arctic For more information please contact the investigators.
