after a gallant battle against a cruelly painful disease, we lost a colleague who embodied the finest traditions of American anthropology. Her own life was a record of struggle and achievement, and above all, of courage. Although crippled in one leg since the age of three, so that each step was made with great effort, she was not deterred from active ethnographic fieldwork in the Pacific Northwest (1935-36, 1938, 1945), and among the Sikhs of Bri…

Miller, 1957, not only indicates some of the periods when the Icy Bay-Yakutat Bay area was open to habitation, but seems to confirm native traditions of great antiquity.

A Pottery Vessel from Kodiak Island, Alaska
In February, 1938, the Washington State Museum at the University of Washington, Seattle, acquired on loan a remarkable pottery vessel from Kodiak Island, southwestern Alaska. It is with the kind permission of the Director, Dr. Erna Gunther, that I publish the following pictures and description (Plates 19-20).The pot is owned by Mr. James Spears of Seattle, and was found by local Eskimo on or near Three Saints Bay, on the southeastern shore of the…

Chapter IX Analysis of Archaeological Types
Although the material from the middle and lower Yukon is for the most part so modern that it might with some justice be called ethnological rather than archaeological, and although it is a somewhat haphazard collection rather than a set of specimens from systematically excavated sites, it can illustrate in part the material culture of the Tena just prior to white contact. Typologically it lies between the culture of the Pacific Eskimo and Aleut (…
Chapter IV: Disposal of the Dead
According to our own observations and to the published accounts, the Tena have practiced many different methods of disposing of the dead, and there are also a number of supplementary traits associated with these methods. We may list them as follows: 1. Inhumation a) Simple inhumation (lower Innoko, Blackburn to Holy Cross) b) In the house (prehistoric, Khotol River) c) Under a grave house (Nowitna to Holy Cross)
Chapter V: Houses, Kashims, and Caches
Not much information about Tena houses can be found in early published accounts. Travelers report permanent villages with semisubterranean houses built of logs, and roofed with bark and turf, from all the Yukon tribes which we visited, with the exception of the Tanana, but give few details of construction. Dall however, specifies for the Un'ā-khō-tanā, between Tanana and Ruby (or, as we should say, between Tanana and the Nowitna), that “their hou…
Chapter VII: Pottery from Indian and “Eskimo” Sites
I Have preferred to describe in one section the pottery from the supposedly Eskimo site at Fox Creek and that from the Indian sites above Holy Cross, since there seems to be no real difference in the shapes or general character of the ware. The Eskimo of the lower Yukon and Kuskokwim also make very similar pots and lamps, though there seem to be slight differences in decorative style peculiar to each locality. Apparently all the Tena groups of th…
Chapter II: The Tena Indians and Their Country
The material on which this report is based was gathered in 1935 on an archaeological and geological reconnassiance under the author's leadership along the lower Tanana and middle and lower Yukon valleys, between Nenana and Holy Cross. One of the main purposes of the expedition was to study the Pleistocene and Recent geology of the region, with reference to the problem of early human migrations. Dr. Eardley, our geologist, naturally assumed charge…
Chapter VIII: Archaeological Specimens from “Eskimo” Sites
While it is difficult to classify as either Eskimo or Indian the archaeological material from the sites in the vicinity of Holy Cross, it seems to have more of an “Eskimo” character than that obtained from sites farther up the Yukon. For this reason, it is here described in a separate chapter. This material consists of three small collections: the largest is from Fox Creek, about 14 miles below Holy Cross, and was collected both by Mr. Fox and by…
Chapter I: Introductory Conclusions
In Order to understand the problems presented by the archaeological material from the middle and lower Yukon Valley, we will need to see this region in a cultural perspective. The area is inhabited today by Athabaskanspeaking Indians whom I call the Tena, following Jetté. These correspond to Osgood's Tanana, Koyukon and Ingalik. Practically all the specimens we shall have to discuss come from the territory of Osgood's last two tribes. These Tena …
