The impact of future UK offshore wind farm distribution and climate change on generation performance and variability
The UK plans to significantly increase offshore wind generation capacity as part of the effort to achieve net zero targets. Current installation is densely located in a few areas, particularly off the east coast of England, and although current siting proposals include new offshore regions, significant volumes of wind generation capacity are yet to be located to meet 2050 installation targets. This paper uses a recent dataset of multi-decadal off…

Cultural Continuities of Eskimos
Although the archaeology of the 'Eskimo' area need not be that of Eskimos, groups of people, by whatever name they are called, have lived continuously for at least 4000 years in Greenland, around the northern rim of Hudson Bay, on the American side of Bering Strait, and probably around the Pacific shores of Southwest Alaska. Shorter sequences of continuous occupation are known in many parts of the range, including St. Lawrence Island. Meaningful …

Round Houses in the Western Arctic
The Ghosts of 'round' pit houses in Alaska were dispelled by Henry B. Collins 2 decades ago (Collins 1937: 282-6). They had emanated from the casual remarks of early explorers and the later hasty glances at house depressions. Up to now, 300 or more of the floors of old pit houses in Alaska have been exposed, and they overwhelmingly show that the winter house of the western American Arctic is some variation of a square plan. Even so, exceptions ha…
The Burin Spall Artifact
Old World burins, discovered in the northern Bering Sea area in 1948, subsequently have been found widely distributed in earlier sites in interior and eastern arctic America. Those of the Denbigh Flint Complex in Alaska are most varied in form. Burin spalls, thin slivers struck or pressed from burins, appear to have been used as tools themselves (over 200 from Denbigh) probably for engraving. Spalls collected in Greenland show similar characteris…
A Flint Site in Northernmost Manitoba
The Churchill area of Manitoba is a meeting place of Eskimos and Chipewyans. It is also the boundary of the northern forest and the barren grounds. My field trip in the summer of 1953 to this part of the western margin of Hudson Bay had to do with both of these facts, for I intended to collect samples of timberline spruce for treering dating, and I hoped to find flint sites comparable to those of northern Alaska. The archaeological site that did …
The Denbigh Flint Complex is Not Yet Dated
Every radiocarbon sample that an archaeologist turns in to a physicist for dating has its particular story to tell. The story is likely to be much longer and more devious than is easily expressed in a simple number. I am a little worried about our use of 'lists' of radiocarbon dates in view of the recent treatment of some dates from Cape Denbigh.During the field seasons of 1948, 1949, and 1950 we secured from the Denbigh Flint layer no more than …
The Denbigh Flint Complex
A thin layer of pebbles and flinty artifacts isolated during the summers of 1948 and 1949 at the bottom of a site on Cape Denbigh, on the north Bering Sea coast of Alaska, furnishes concrete evidence in support of theories of a Bering Strait gateway to America in remote times. The flint complex from the old layer holds little in common with what we think of as Eskimo. For descriptive parallels it will be necessary to draw upon sources far removed…
Diagonal Flaking from Kotzebue, Alaska
The illustrated blade fragment (Fig. 22) turned up in a purchased lot of archaeological specimens at Kotzebue, in 1941. It appears to be the tip of a long, thin blade broken clean near the middle. It is diagonally flaked from translucent, smoky chalcedony, a material which shows up occasionally in sites of the Kobuk River region. The Yumalike flaking, in some cases all the way across the blade leaving each face rounded rather than longitudinally …
Flint Stations in Central Alaska
Our knowledge of the prehistory of interior Alaska is still very limited. Nearly all archaeological work in the territory has been in the Eskimo and Aleut regions. In the interior planned, systematic surveys have been conducted by Froelich Rainey, Frederica de Laguna, and Frederick Johnson, but most of these deal with relatively recent Athapascan sites. The only definitely pre-Athapascan site is the 'Campus site' on the University of Alaska campu…
Dated Eskimo Ruins of an Inland Zone
The Eskimo culture is divided ecologically, Froelich Rainey says in a review of published accounts, into 'the Arctic coastal zone in the area of sea ice' and 'the sub-Arctic zone south of the maximum extension of heavy sea ice, in Southern Alaska and Greenland... . A third ecologic zone is that region occupied by Eskimo people with an inland form of culture which has been most clearly defined by Kaj Birket-Smith in his description of the Caribou …

Rock Paintings in Central Alaska
Rock paintings in red pigment were discovered in June, 1940, on a bluff where Moose Creek flows into a slough of the Tanana River, eighteen miles above Fairbanks, Alaska. The find was made by engineers of the Army Flood Control Project after trees and brush had been cleared from the face of the bluff in process of obtaining dam material from the hillside. The paintings, some of them destroyed by weathering, others obscured by lichens, represented…
