Anthropological Investigations of Southeast Alaska Natives

在1989年和1990年的深入调查过程中，我们的团队在Heceta岛和阿拉斯加东南部最南端的威尔士王子岛收集了各种考古和人种学材料。查克湖1例共获得328个伪影，包括31个微刀片和5个微刀片芯。虽然发现的文物数量有限，但查克湖遗址和洛克湖遗址都有发现。3和亨特湾遗址被证明是重要的，揭示了大量的食物遗骸，包括华盛顿冲浪蛤和其他种类的贝类。海洋适应也是明显的早期水平的占领在温暖的查克村，可能约。700 B B。P.和1350 B. P.，正如Kaneko的详细分析所示。显然，鲑鱼是当时赫塞塔岛的主食。根据我们在赫塞塔岛和周边地区的工作，我们现在可以追溯到一系列史前文化的轮廓。我们的团队还收集了人种学材料。通过对该地区近十位老人的访谈获得了宝贵的信息，他们本身就是特林吉特或海达印第安人，对年轻时的传统生活方式有着深刻的记忆。他们的一些证人同意我们的调查结果，例如。G.但其他人没有就该地区土著居民的近代历史而言，需要做更多的工作来填补差距。我们受到了相关领域研究人员的鼓舞，如放射性碳测年、花粉和动物群遗骸分析等。我们期待着其他合作者即将取得的成果，特别是在脂肪酸分析领域。应发表一份补充报告，以弥补下一份研究报告的不足之处。

In the course of intensive investigations in 1989 and in 1990, various archaeological and ethnographic materials were collected by our team on Heceta Island and on southernmost Prince of Wales Island, Southeast Alaska. Chuck Lake Site-Loc. 1 yielded 328 artifact including 31 microblades and 5 microblade cores. Although limited in the number of artifacts discovered, both Chuck Lake Site-Loc. 3 and Hunter Bay Site proved to be important in revealing a quantity of food remains including Washington surf clam and other kinds of shellfish. Maritime adaptation was also evident in earlier levels of occupation at Warm Chuck Village, probably ca. 700 B. P. and 1350 B. P., as exemplified by Kaneko's detailed analysis. Apparently salmon was the staple food at that time on Heceta Island. An outline of successive prehistoric cultures is now traceable on the basis of our work on Heceta Island and in the surrounding area.Ethnographic materials were also collected by our team. Valuable information was obtained through interviews with nearly ten elders in the area, who were Tlingit or Haida Indians themselves and kept a sharp memory of the traditional way of life in their youth. Some of their witnesses came to agree with the results of our investigations, e. g. at Warm Chuck Village, but others do not. More work is needed to fill in the gap, as far as the recent past of the native peoples in the area is concerned.We were much encouraged by the researchers in the related fields, such as radiocarbon dating, analysis of pollen and faunal remains, etc. . We look forward to the forthcoming results of other collaborators, especially in the area of fatty acid analysis. A supplementary report should be published to cover the deficiency in the coming research report.
