Toward an archaeology of late prehistoric Eskimo bands in coastal northwest Alaska
Variations of Late Prehistoric Houses in Coastal Northwest Alaska: A View from Wales
A review of literature and archival images reveals a distinctive method of double-walled house construction that predominated at the Beach site at Wales, Alaska, minimally from early contact through ca. 1930. Prior studies have suggested that this house construction form was a widespread convention during the contact period; however, this paper demonstrates that this was not the case. The only other occurrence of this house construction form was …
Recent Work at Difchahak, a Center of Norton Culture in Eastern Norton Sound, Alaska
A 2006 mapping and testing effort at the Difchahak site (NOB-00005) produced new information about a major Norton settlement located in eastern Norton Sound. Although Giddings conducted limited excavations at Difchahak in 1948 and Lutz tested two of the house depressions in 1970, the site had never been mapped, nor had radiometric dating ever been carried out. The new complete map shows surface features with their relative sizes, forms, and distr…

Bibliography of Don E. Dumond Donald K. Grayson and Roger K. Harritt This list is current as of June 2010. Publications that Dumond co-authored and which show him as the first author are indicated by an “and,” while the word “with” is used to identify those publications where he was a second or third author. Omitted are reviews, notes, and unpublished monographic research reports. 1957 Eater of Dust. New Mexico Quarterly 27(12):56–66. 1961 Swidde…
A Preliminary Reevaluation of the Punuk-Thule Interface at Wales, Alaska
An ongoing archaeology project involving three sites at Wales and a site at nearby Tin City, focuses on the prehistoric acquisition of whaling techniques on the northwest Alaska mainland, and on relations between bearers of Birnirk, Punuk, and Thule cultures of late prehistoric times. Wales is located on the eastern shore of Bering Strait, and before the influenza pandemic of 1917–1918 it was home to 500 Inupiat residents. Preliminary results of …
Results of Instrument Neutron-Activation Trace-Element Analysis of Human Remains from the Naknek Region, Southwest Alaska
An attempt to replicate results of a previous dietary trace-element study of northwestern Alaska (Connor and Slaughter 1984) was made with human- and animal-bone samples from the Naknek region, southwest Alaska. Trace elements of special interest are strontium and zinc because of previously postulated relation of abundances of these elements to marine and terrestrial dietary foci in human remains from archaeological sites (i.e., Nelson et al. 198…
