ABSTRACTARC 0637246This is a Small Grant for Exploratory Research, PI Dennis O'Rourke, University of Utah, to obtain genetic samples from a prehistoric population at Nuvuk cemetery at Point Barrow, Alaska. The cemetery is currently being eroded as a result of increased storm activity in the Arctic Ocean due to climate change being experienced in the region. In 2004 local authorities decided to excavate the cemetery and gave permission to scientific study of the human remains, this excavation will take place in the summer of 2006. Both genetic and morphometric analyses will be done on the human remains and this project offers a unique situation of having complete skeletal samples on which to undertake these types of analyses concurrently. In addition, there is a strong training component for Inupiaq students from the Barrow community.

摘要：这是犹他大学PI Dennis O'Rourke的一项探索性研究小额赠款，用于从阿拉斯加巴罗角Nuvuk墓地的史前人群中获取遗传样本。由于该地区正在经历气候变化，北冰洋的风暴活动增加，墓地目前正在受到侵蚀。2004年，地方当局决定挖掘墓地，并允许对人类遗骸进行科学研究，这次挖掘将于2006年夏天进行。将对人类遗骸进行遗传和形态分析，该项目提供了一个独特的情况，即拥有完整的骨骼样本，可以同时进行这些类型的分析。此外，还为来自巴罗社区的因纽皮克学生提供了强有力的培训。
