Selective Change and Adaptation Revealed Through Archaeology: The Unalakleet River, Alaska

阿拉斯加西部的Unalakleet河走廊为分析文化适应和变化提供了不同寻常的机会。尽管受到西方文化的影响和新技术的采用，土著群体中的文化保守主义仍然存在，并可能成为社会冲突的根源。本文考察了欧美接触时，变化如何在小团体（家庭）中表现出来。通过挖掘，文物和建筑分析，详细检查了一个19世纪的村庄。这些数据将有助于更清楚地了解美国原住民，特别是阿拉斯加原住民的稳定和变化。

The Unalakleet River corridor in Western Alaska presents unusual opportunities for analyzing cultural adaptation and change. In spite of the influences of Western culture, and the adoption of new technologies, cultural conservatism among Native groups persisted, and could be a source of social conflict. This dissertation examines how change is manifested in small groups (households) at the time of Euro/American contact. A 19th century village is examined in detail through excavation, artifact and architectural analysis. The data will contribute to a clearer understanding of stability and change among Native Americans in general and Native Alaskans in particular.
