摘要OPP 9629992马施纳，霍夫曼这篇论文的拨款是为了支持阿拉斯加阿留申群岛尤尼马克岛上的一个考古项目。其目的是阐明一个复杂的狩猎-采集村庄的社会经济组织。该遗址由大约九座半地下房屋组成。该遗址保存完好，是这个鲜为人知的地区进行考古研究的理想场所。民族历史和考古数据表明，早期接触时期的阿留申社会在社会和政治上是复杂的。那里有许多等级森严的社会、永久的社区住宅、密集的战争和区域间的交流网络。通过对这些多户民居的挖掘，以及对文物、特征和厨余的分析，来考察等级、经济组织和企业集团之间的关系。

ABSTRACT OPP 9629992 Maschner, Hoffman This dissertation grant is for support of an archaeological project on Unimak Island in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska. The goal is to illuminate the socio-economic organization of a complex hunter-gatherer village. The site consists of some nine semi-subterranean houses. Preservation at the site is excellent and this site is ideal for archaeological study in this little known region. Ethnohistorical and archaeological data suggest that early contact-period Aleut society was socially and politically complex. There were numerous ranked societies, permanent communal houses, intensive warfare and inter-regional exchange networks. The relationships between rank, economic organization, and the corporate group will be investigated through the excavation of these multi-family houses and analysis of artifacts, features and food refuse.
