Social dimensions of geographic disorientation in Arctic Alaska
A recent study of the wayfinding techniques employed by Inupiat residing in the communities of Barrow, Wainwright, and Anaktuvuk Pass, suggests that the incidence of disorientation episodes has increased in recent decades, despite easier access to maps and compasses and other aids to navigation and wayfinding. A general model, which focuses on the environmental and cognitive sources of disorientation, is introduced to help understand this apparen…

Egocentric Perspectives on Geographic Orientation
Egocentricity acts both to orient and disorient us in space. It is manifest in different forms through childhood and adolescence; and although we tend to outgrow it, it can persist and even reappear in old age. This paper reviews some of the literature on egocentricity, emphasizing its influence on styles of geographic orientation and related wayfinding ability. A model of geographic orientation is constructed from the perspective of cross-cultur…

Interpreting the Function of Primitive Implements
Reconstruction of the subsistence relationship existing between prehistoric man and his environment has been handicapped by the difficulty of ascribing reasonably precise function to many of his tools. This study began as an attempt to interpret the function of the enigmatic celt; it developed into a field experiment which included the testing of a series of stone hoes in an effort to prove or disprove the existence of prehistoric implements with…

An Arctic Reindeer Industry
R EINDEER were introduced into Alaska at a crucial period: the beginning of the end of commercial whaling in the Alaskan Arctic. By 1892, when the first Siberian reindeer were transported across Bering Strait, the Eskimo along the coast of Alaska from Bering Strait north to Barrow had had some fifty years of contact with whalers and traders. But perhaps more to the point, the whalers and traders had had some fifty years to affect, directly and in…
