ABSTRACT OPP-9630072 MASCHNER Recent research in the lower Alaska Peninsula and Unimak Island has demonstrated that this area is critical to our understanding of the development of Aleut society and human adaptation to climate change and landscape evolution in the region. A broad regional approach to these problems depends on large-scale systematic archaeological survey. Because of the expense of doing survey in this remote region, satellite images, aerial photography, a Geographic Information System and statistical modeling, combined with field controls, will be employed and tested. If successful, this method will greatly facilitate the discovery of archaeological sites and enhance our understanding of regional ecology and human adaptation in the North Pacific region.

摘要编号-9630072 MASCHNER 最近在阿拉斯加半岛和乌尼马克岛的研究表明，这一地区对我们了解阿留申社会的发展以及人类对该地区气候变化和景观演变的适应至关重要。对这些问题采取广泛的区域性办法取决于大规模系统的考古调查。由于在这一偏远地区进行调查的费用很高，将采用和测试卫星图像、航空摄影、地理信息系统和统计建模，并结合实地控制。如果成功，这种方法将大大促进考古遗址的发现，并提高我们对北太平洋地区区域生态和人类适应的理解。
