ABSTRACT FOR OPP-0103687A Settlement System Model for the Central Alaska Peninsula Pacific CoastProfessor Allen P. McCartney, Principal InvestigatorPatricia L. McClenahan, Co-InvestigatorDepartment of Environmental DynamicsUniversity of Arkansas, FayettevilleThe past 1,000 years witnessed the transition of North Pacific hunter-gatherers from small, egalitarian family-based groups to complex hunter-gatherers. The upper and lower Pacific coast of the Alaska Peninsula, Kodiak, and the Aleutian Islands were intensely inhabited prehistorically, and after 1,000 B.P. the residents were taking part in a greater southwest Alaska cultural interaction sphere. However, there is little information about the prehistoric and historic inhabitants of the central Alaska Peninsula Pacific coast. The project will retrieve archaeological and environmental data from the Portage Bay watershed. The goal is to better define the central Alaska Peninsula with regard to subsistence and settlement strategies compared to those of the greater Alaska Peninsula through time. The project will utilize ethnohistoric and ethnographic data now being gathered about the subsistence-settlement systems of the historic inhabitants of Portage Bay. The project will contribute to recording and preserving the prehistoric and historic traditions and cultural heritage of the Alutiiq people and others

摘要OPP-0103687A中阿拉斯加半岛太平洋海岸定居系统模型艾伦·P·麦卡特尼教授，首席研究员，阿肯色大学费耶特维尔分校环境动态系联合调查员帕特里夏·L·麦克莱纳汉过去1000年见证了北太平洋狩猎采集者从以家庭为基础的小团体到复杂的狩猎采集者的转变。阿拉斯加半岛的上、下太平洋海岸、科迪亚克和阿留申群岛在史前就有密集的人居住，在公元前1000年之后，居民们参与了阿拉斯加西南部更大的文化互动圈。然而，关于阿拉斯加半岛中部太平洋海岸的史前居民和历史居民的信息很少。该项目将从波蒂奇湾流域检索考古和环境数据。目标是更好地界定阿拉斯加半岛中部的生存和定居战略，而不是大阿拉斯加半岛的战略。该项目将利用目前正在收集的关于波蒂奇海湾历史居民生存-定居系统的民族史学和人种学数据。该项目将有助于记录和保护阿卢蒂克人和其他人的史前和历史传统和文化遗产。
