SGER: Native Alaskan Archaeological Training

在国家科学基金会的支持下，克里斯·库努卡先生将参加华盛顿大学于1998年6月20日至8月10日在科迪亚克岛（阿拉斯加）举行的考古实地学校。该项目将在坦吉纳克泉遗址及其周围进行，旨在为学生提供广泛的考古技术培训。实地教学将包括考古测量、绘图、挖掘、笔记和摄影方面的培训。实验室教学将集中在清洁，编目，文物分析和基本的计算机绘图。Koonoka先生是来自圣劳伦斯岛的阿拉斯加土著，就读于费尔班克斯阿拉斯加大学教育系。他将是圣劳伦斯社区第一个接受考古学正式培训的成员，并将回到岛上教年轻人他所学到的东西。 虽然美洲原住民史前史已经形成了一个重要的考古重点超过一个世纪，几乎没有美洲原住民参与了研究过程。这笔赠款是NSF考古计划改变这种情况的更大举措的一部分。圣劳伦斯岛拥有重要的考古资源，让像小野冈先生这样的人参与管理是非常重要的。

With National Science Foundation support, Mr. Chris Koonooka will attend the University of Washington's archaeological field school to be held on Kodiak Island (Alaska) from June 20 to August 10, 1998 The program will be conducted at and around the Tanginak Spring site and is designed to give students a broad range of training in archaeological techniques. Field instruction will include training in archaeological surveying, mapping, excavation, note-taking and photography. Laboratory instruction will focus on cleaning, cataloging, artifact analysis and elementary computer mapping. Mr. Koonooka is a Native Alaskan from St. Lawrence Island and is enrolled in the Department of Education at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. He will be the first member of the St. Lawrence community to receive formal training in archaeology and will return to the island to teach young people what he has learned. Although Native American prehistory has formed an important archaeological focus for well over a century, almost no Native Americans have participated in the research process. This grant is part of a larger initiative by the NSF Archaeology Program to change this situation. St. Lawrence Island contains important archaeological resources and it will be extremely important to have an individual such as Mr. Koonooka involved in their management.
