Establishing the Chronologic and Climatic Correlates of LateHolocene Cultural Development in Northwest and Northern Alaska

这项建议的目的是建立一个必要的框架， 阿拉斯加北极地区的全新世考古遗址模型 全球和区域气候模式。亚化石木材来自 考古遗址，活树和浮木收集在 西北部的科布克河地区将用于延长树木年轮 数据回到1000-2000 BP。这些树木年代学数据可以 用于重建过去的气候模式和考古年代 网站.该项目的成果将大大扩大 了解文化发展和人类 适应在北极西部，并有助于 了解全球气候变化。

The purpose of this proposal is to establish a framework needed to model Holocene archaeological sites in Arctic Alaska in relation to global and regional climate patterns. Subfossil wood from archaeological sites, living trees and driftwood collected in the Kobuk River area in northwestern will be used to extend tree-ring data back to 1000-2000 BP. This dendrochronological data can be used to reconstruct past climate patterns and date archaeological sites. The results of this project will significantly expand the understanding of the chronology of cultural development and human adaptation in the western Arctic, and contribute to an understanding of global climate change.
