"Activity Area Analysis in West Alaska: Combining Soil Chemistry and Ethnoarchaeology at Tununak" ABSTRACTPrincipal Investigators Kelly J. Knudson and Lisa Frink will investigate how subsistence activities are organized and how subsistence behavior has changed over time on Nelson Island. Ethnoarchaeological and archaeological data will be collected and documented from the contemporary and historic occupations of the village of Tununak, located on Nelson Island in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta of western Alaska. In addition, they will develop new methods and new data using biogeochemical and genetic analyses of Arctic soils to identify specific activities. This research draws on the uncommon and exciting combination of Indigenous memory, experience, and continuity of place and subsistence activities and will demonstrate the importance of incorporating indigenous elder knowledge and practice into archaeological models and interpretations to yield a much more robust understanding of past and present activities.

《西阿拉斯加活动区分析：结合土壤化学和图努纳克的民族考古学》主要调查员凯利·J·克努森和丽莎·弗林克将调查纳尔逊岛的生存活动是如何组织的，生存行为是如何随着时间的推移而改变的。将从位于阿拉斯加西部育空-库斯科维姆三角洲纳尔逊岛的图努纳克村的当代和历史占领中收集和记录民族考古和考古数据。此外，他们将利用北极土壤的生物地球化学和遗传分析来开发新方法和新数据，以确定特定的活动。这项研究利用了土著记忆、经验以及地方和生存活动的连续性这一不同寻常和令人兴奋的组合，并将证明将土著老年人的知识和实践纳入考古模型和解释的重要性，以产生对过去和现在活动的更强有力的理解。
