HUMAN RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE AT CAPE ESPENBERG AD 800-1400A three-year interdisciplinary research program will be undertaken at Cape Espenberg, located on the northern coast of the Seward Peninsula (Alaska), with a focus on the history of human settlement and response to climate change between AD 800 and 1400. During this interval, a major cultural transition took place in the greater Bering Strait region that underlay the development and subsequent dispersal of the Iñupiat or Inuit peoples across much of the circumpolar world. The beach ridges of Cape Espenberg contain a sequence of occupations between AD 800 and 1400 and offer a wealth of paleoclimate data for the Kotzebue Sound region. The research program will entail mapping, sampling, and limited excavation of former settlements on the beach ridges of Cape Espenberg by an international team of researchers (American, Canadian, and Russian) and student participants from local Alaska native communities. During Year 1 (2009), senior personnel will collect paleoenvironmental data and excavate several features on selected beach ridges. During Years 2-3 (2010-2011), senior personnel will work with student participants to expand the excavation of former houses and other features. Additional paleoenvironmental data will be gathered, and a comprehensive map of the Cape Espenberg settlements (initiated during a 2007 reconnaissance) will be completed. The collection and analysis of archaeological and paleoclimatic data will be pursued within the framework of questions concerning the transition and subsequent development of human settlement at Cape Espenberg. The results should provide a high-resolution record of environmental and cultural change for a representative place and critical time period for Iñupiat origins, and they will help researchers address fundamental questions about the emergence of the Iñupiaq-speaking peoples of northwest Alaska in the context of population movements, conflict & competition, and cultural innovation during an interval of major climate change. The project results will be communicated to local communities and the general public through outreach and education efforts. In addition to student participation from Northwest Alaskan communities, undergraduate and graduate students will receive substantial training and experience and post-doctoral research will be supported.This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009(Public Law 111-5).

人类对气候变化的反应在埃斯彭堡角AD 800- 1400一个为期三年的跨学科研究计划将在埃斯彭堡角进行，位于苏厄德半岛（阿拉斯加）的北方海岸，重点是人类定居的历史和对公元800年至1400年气候变化的反应。 在此期间，大白令海峡地区发生了一次重大的文化转变，这一转变促进了因纽特人的发展和随后在环极世界大部分地区的扩散。 埃斯彭贝格角的海滩山脊包含了公元800年至1400年的一系列职业，并为科策布湾地区提供了丰富的古气候数据。 该研究计划将需要由一个国际研究小组（美国，加拿大和俄罗斯）和来自当地阿拉斯加土著社区的学生参与者对埃斯彭贝格角海滩山脊上的前定居点进行测绘，采样和有限的挖掘。 在第一年（2009年），高级人员将收集古环境数据，并在选定的海滩山脊上挖掘几个特征。 在第2-3年（2010-2011年），高级人员将与学生参与者合作，扩大对以前的房屋和其他特征的挖掘。 将收集更多的古环境数据，并完成埃斯彭贝格角定居点的综合地图（在2007年的一次勘察中启动）。 考古和古气候数据的收集和分析将在有关埃斯彭贝格角人类住区的过渡和随后发展问题的框架内进行。 结果应该提供一个高分辨率的环境和文化变化的记录为代表性的地方和关键的时间段为伊努皮亚起源，他们将帮助研究人员解决有关伊努皮亚克的出现的基本问题说阿拉斯加西北部的民族在人口流动的背景下，冲突竞争，和文化创新在一段时间内的重大气候变化。 项目成果将通过外联和教育工作传达给当地社区和公众。 除了来自西北阿拉斯加社区的学生参与，本科生和研究生将获得大量的培训和经验，博士后研究将得到支持。该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。
