Japan's World War II on Kiska Island
The Japanese occupation of Kiska Island in the Western Aleutians was far more comprehensive than previously reported or archaeologically documented. Remarkably wellpreserved World War II Japanese military tunnels, entrenchments, structural remains, and communications networks are located throughout the southern coastal bays and coves of the island. These features were constructed in 1942–1943 by Imperial Japanese Army and Imperial Japanese Navy t…
Saĝdaĝ-To Catch Birds
Birds were an important, but little understood, part of the Aleut economy. Birds provided a tiny proportion of the food compared to sea mammals and fish, but their skins, feathers, and bones provided raw materials for clothing, tools, and religious purposes. This paper uses ethnohistorical, linguistic, and archaeological evidence to identify the specialized techniques and describe the tools used for hunting birds. McCartney’s procurement system c…
Anthropology in the Aleutians
Anthropology in the Aleutians: Introductory Comments Debra Corbett and Caroline Funk Anthropological research in the Aleutians tends to be patchy in time and space. An apparent wealth of information becomes, on closer inspection, snippets of datasets separated by gaps. Decades may separate the various ethnohistorical, ethnographic, linguistic, cultural, or physical anthropology studies, and archaeological projects. Hundreds of kilometers stretch …
Two Chiefs' Houses from the Western Aleutian Islands
The earliest Russian explorers of the Aleutians described Near Island chiefs’ houses that were larger than those of ordinary people. The Russians noted that these houses were also functionally different than ordinary dwellings. Chiefs entertained guests, sheltered widows and orphans, and hosted religious ceremonies in their houses. Between 1997 and 2003, Western Aleutians Archaeological and Paleobiological Project (WAAPP) archaeologists excavated…

Shifting ground
Archaeological site surveys in the Aleutian archipelago of western Alaska understandably focused along the shoreline, based on an assumption that land resources were a minor contribution to Unangan life. This view was the dominant but not unanimous view from the 1960s through the 1990s. There were occasional reports of upland sites. In 2007 through 2009, a concerted effort was made to survey a portion of the upland areas on Adak Island. In 2007, …
The Kelp Highway Hypothesis
In this article, a collaborative effort between archaeologists and marine ecologists, we discuss the role kelp forest ecosystems may have played in facilitating the movement of maritime peoples from Asia to the Americas near the end of the Pleistocene. Growing in cool nearshore waters along rocky coastlines, kelp forests offer some of the most productive habitats on earth, with high primary productivity, magnified secondary productivity, and thre…
