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

阿拉斯加大学恩里分校的罗杰·哈里特博士提出的这项计划是为了完成对阿拉斯加威尔士多处遗址的挖掘。这些遗址因自给自足的挖掘和侵蚀而遭到严重破坏。拟议的项目是多方面的，使用历史、人种学、考古学和动物群分析，以获得公元前1700-200年因纽特人生活方式的完整图景。此外，这项研究还希望能揭示该地区的史前文化综合体。国际和平协会向社区开展了外联活动，并得到了强有力的社区支持，包括雇用威尔士居民建立社区伸展项目，以及将威尔士学生和其他居民纳入实际研究分析和对其社区遗址的挖掘。

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.
