ABSTRACTARC 0535356This project will allow the PI to do morphometric and paleopathologic analyses of Thule period skeletal materials at Point Barrow. Due to major erosion of the Point Barrow coastal beach, a number of prehistoric burials have been exposed. The recent decision by the Ukpeag'vik Inupiat Corporation to remove and relocate the burials and to allow scientific examination of the burials has provided an unprecedented opportunity for gathering scientific information on the skeletal material from these burials. Working with the permission of local authorities, the scientific team will examine the material. In addition, the researchers plan to work with local high school students and provide them training and experience in archaeological techniques and skeletal recovery. The information gathered and analyzed as a result of the project should give new insights into the long debate on the origins of the Thule people and their relationship to Barrow populations.

摘要0535356本项目将允许PI对巴罗点的图勒时期骨骼材料进行形态测量和古病理学分析。 由于巴罗角沿海海滩的严重侵蚀，一些史前墓葬已经暴露出来。 Ukpeag'vik Inupiat公司最近决定移走和重新安置这些墓葬，并允许对这些墓葬进行科学检查，这为从这些墓葬中收集有关骨骼材料的科学资料提供了前所未有的机会。 在地方当局的许可下，科学小组将检查这些材料。 此外，研究人员计划与当地高中生合作，为他们提供考古技术和骨骼恢复方面的培训和经验。 该项目收集和分析的信息应该为关于图勒人起源及其与巴罗人口关系的长期辩论提供新的见解。
