Late Prehistoric Cultural Dynamics and Parameters of Subsistence at Wales, Alaska

这项由阿拉斯加大学ENRI的Roger Harritt博士提出的建议是完成对阿拉斯加威尔士多个遗址的挖掘。 这些地点因仅能维持生计的挖掘和侵蚀而受到严重破坏。 拟议的项目是多方面的，利用历史，民族志，考古学和动物群分析，以获得一个完整的图片前接触因纽特人的生活方式从1700-200 BP。 此外，这项研究还希望揭示该地区的史前文化复合体。 PI已经深入社区，并得到了社区的大力支持，包括雇用威尔士居民建立社区外展项目，以及让威尔士学生和其他居民参与实际的研究分析和社区遗址的挖掘工作。

This proposal by Dr. Roger Harritt of the University of Alaska, ENRI, is to complete the excavations of the multiple sites at Wales, Alaska. These sites have been severely damaged by subsistence digging and erosion. The proposed project is multifaceted in using history, ethnography, archaeology and faunal analysis to get a complete picture of pre-contact Inuit life-ways from 1700-200 BP. In addition, the research hopes to shed light on the prehistoric cultural complexes of the region. The PI has done outreach into the community and has strong community support, including hiring Wales residents to build community out reach project, as well as including Wales students and other residents in the actual research analyses and the excavations of the sites in their community.
