Completing Archeological Research at On Your Knees Cave, SE Alaska

0331608迪克森由科罗拉多大学的詹姆斯狄克逊博士提出的研究计划是完成对阿拉斯加东南部威尔士王子岛“On You Knees Cave”（OYKC）考古研究结果的分析和出版。 拟议项目包括对剩余问题进行实地核查、完成数据分析、描述、说明、解释和介绍/出版研究结果。 这个特别的项目一直是科学界和当地阿拉斯加土著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在阿拉斯加或加拿大发现的最古老的人类遗骸特别重要。 最终分析的完成和研究结果的出版将使人们对北美西北海岸沿着的早期文化发展和古生态学有更深入的了解。

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.
