This is an SGER to support interdisciplinary research to explore new techniques to sourcing driftwood in the archaeological record through tree-ring data and indigenous knowledge. The PI will develop a method of cross dating as a way of sourcing driftwood and exploring variability in tree response to climate change. The CoPI will collect oral history and traditional knowledge of driftwood and its use. Working together in the collection and analysis of both types of data the researchers propose to better understand the use of drift wood in the archaeological record, as well as develop a more precise chronology for the region of Southwest Alaska. In addition, the project includes community consultations in order to explore community interest in this topic and the possibility of collaboration with local scholars on a larger future project in this area.

这是一个支持跨学科研究的SGER，旨在通过树木年轮数据和土著知识探索考古记录中寻找浮木的新技术。 PI将开发一种交叉定年方法，作为采购浮木和探索树木对气候变化反应的变化的一种方式。 CoPI将收集关于浮木及其使用的口述历史和传统知识。 通过收集和分析这两种类型的数据，研究人员建议更好地了解考古记录中漂流木的使用，并为阿拉斯加西南部地区制定更精确的年表。 此外，该项目还包括社区协商，以探讨社区对这一专题的兴趣，以及与当地学者合作开展这一领域更大规模的未来项目的可能性。
