Bringing new technological, experimental and bioarchaeological expertise to a Yup'ik community archaeological research project, this consortium aims to recover new evidence to better understand continuity and change in the role of animals in subsistence, material culture and society through time in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta (Y-K Delta), Western Alaska. Although current excavations are illuminating Yup'ik life immediately prior to European contact, little is known about how animal-human interactions varied in the Yup'ik precontact past. This partnership of UK and French researchers (Archaeology, Aberdeen; PréTech, Nanterre), and academic and indigenous project partners (Willerslev/Raghavan; Qanirtuuq Inc.), aims to better understand the dietary, technological and societal roles of game animals amongst the Yup'ik and to shed light on the social structures and practices surrounding the procurement, processing, consumption and disposal of wild animal foods (foodways) in the precontact Yup'ik world. Through the course of this research, we seek to explore and make use of the synergies between the past and present. Via community workshops, we will co-study archaeological artefacts associated with foodways and pioneer experimental archaeology in Yup'ik contexts, including the replication of 'lost' craft types such as bone working. Archaeological and experimentally-replicated objects will serve as vehicles to discuss present and past ecosystem and social change, promoting trans-generational knowledge exchange and discourse between researchers and culture bearers, enhancing both scientific investigation and community well-being. Combining academic endeavour with traditional ways of knowing and local ecological knowledge will strengthen archaeological interpretations and, through exploring the dynamic past, empower Yup'ik communities coping with ecosystem and social change in the present.

该联合会为Yup'ik社区考古研究项目带来新的技术，实验和生物考古专业知识，旨在恢复新的证据，以更好地了解阿拉斯加西部育空-Kuskokwim三角洲（Y-K三角洲）动物在生存，物质文化和社会中的作用的连续性和变化。虽然目前的挖掘工作正在揭示与欧洲人接触之前的Yup'ik生活，但人们对Yup'ik接触前的动物与人类的相互作用如何变化知之甚少。英国和法国的研究人员（考古学，阿伯丁; PréTech，Nanterre）以及学术和土著项目合作伙伴（Willerslev/Raghavan; Qanirtuuq Inc.），旨在更好地了解狩猎动物在Yup'ik中的饮食，技术和社会角色，并阐明在接触Yup'ik世界之前围绕野生动物食品（食物）的采购，加工，消费和处置的社会结构和实践。通过本研究的过程中，我们寻求探索和利用过去和现在之间的协同作用。通过社区研讨会，我们将共同研究与Yup'ik环境中的foodways和先锋实验考古学相关的考古文物，包括复制“丢失”的工艺类型，如骨加工。考古和实验复制的物品将作为讨论现在和过去生态系统和社会变化的工具，促进研究人员和文化承载者之间的跨代知识交流和对话，加强科学调查和社区福祉。将学术努力与传统的认知方式和当地生态知识相结合，将加强考古学解释，并通过探索充满活力的过去，使Yup'ik社区能够应对当前的生态系统和社会变化。
