Western Aleutians Archaeological Paleobiological Project

本研究的目的是提供信息的时间阿留申群岛西部的初始职业，帮助确定在Buldir和阿图岛上生活的群体的同时代性，并提供一个更清晰的文化年表，通过记录文物的风格变化。 这项研究还包括从曾经居住在阿留申群岛西部的剩余阿图安人那里收集民族志和历史信息。 考古数据与最后幸存的阿图安人的口述历史信息相结合，将揭示一些最后居住在阿留申群岛西部的猎人/采集者的生活方式。

The purpose of this research is to provide information of the timing of initial occupations of the western Aleutian Islands, help identify the contemporaneity of groups living on Buldir and Attu, and provide a clearer cultural chronology by documenting well dated stylistic change in artifacts. The research also includes gathering ethnographic and historical information from the remaining Attuans who once inhabited the western Aleutians. Archaeological data combined with information from oral histories of the last surviving Attuans will shed light on the lifeways of some of the last hunters/gathers to inhabit the western Aleutians.
