Completing Archeological Research at On Your Knees Cave, SE Alaska

由科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的詹姆斯·迪克森博士提出的这项研究是为了完成对阿拉斯加东南部威尔士王子岛“跪在你的膝盖上的洞穴”（OYKC）考古研究结果的分析和发表。拟议的项目包括实地核查剩余问题、完成数据分析、描述、说明、解释和介绍/出版研究结果。这个特殊的项目已经成为科学界和当地阿拉斯加原住民社区之间发展伙伴关系的典范。这种关系对于提取和检查迄今为止在阿拉斯加或加拿大发现的最古老的人类遗骸尤为重要。最终分析的完成和研究成果的发表将使人们对北美西北海岸的早期文化发展和古生态有更深入的了解。

0331608DixonThe proposed research by Dr. James Dixon at the University of Colorado, Boulder is to complete the analysis and publication of results from the archaeological research at "On You Knees Cave" (OYKC) on Prince of Wales Island, Southeast Alaska. The proposed project includes field verification of remaining questions, completion of data analysis, description, illustration, interpretation and presentation/publication of the research findings. This particular project has been a model for developing partnerships between the scientific and local Alaska Native community. This relationship has been particularly important to the extraction and examination of the oldest human remains discovered to date in Alaska or Canada. The proposed completion of the final analysis and publication of the research findings will give greater insight into early cultural development and paleoecology along the Northwest Coast of North America.
