Landscape and Environment in the Organization of Aleut Society: Behavioral Responses to Catastrophic and Gradual Change in Coastal Regions

MaschnerOPP-9814086阿留申社会组织中的景观和环境：对沿海地区灾难性变化的行为反应下阿拉斯加半岛是地球上最具活力的景观之一。最近的研究几乎连续记录了跨越过去6000年的史前阿留申定居点。村庄、家庭、经济和物质文化组织的区域变化反映了动态和不断变化的景观、气候变化和文化变化之间的关系。这项历时和共时的考古研究对沿海生态系统的灾难性变化与人类对这些变化的反应之间的关系进行了研究，其中包括对下阿拉斯加半岛Morzhovoi Bay/Morzhovoi Lake地区选定村庄的挖掘计划。这些数据将被用来检验一些假设，一方面是关于灾难性的环境变化与以海洋为基础的经济结构、社会组织和区域相互作用之间的关系

MaschnerOPP-9814086Landscape and Environment in the Organization of Aleut Society: Behavioral Responses to Catastrophic Change in Coastal RegionsThe lower Alaska Peninsula is one of the most dynamic landscapes on earth. Recent research has resulted in a nearly continuous record of prehistoric Aleut settlement spanning the last 6000 years. Regional changes in the organization of villages, households, economy, and material culture reflect relationships between a dynamic and evolving landscape, climate change, and culture change. This diachronic and synchronic archaeological research on the relationship between catastrophic changes in coastal ecosystems and human responses to those changes includes an excavation program for selected villages on the Morzhovoi Bay/Morzhovoi Lake area of the lower Alaska Peninsula. The data will be used to test a number of hypotheses about the relationships between catastrophic environmental changes on the one hand, and the structure of marine-based economies, social organization, and regional interaction
