"The primary objective of this project is to support the US Army Garrison Fort Wainwright with the excavation at the National Register Eligible sites 49-XMH-297, Delta River Overlook (DRO), and 49-XMH-838, Hurricane Bluff. This is in support of maintenance and erosion control activities at OP 9c under FW-MOA-1411. Funding was obtained through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This report serves as the final submittal under two Fort Wainwright Scopes of Work: 15-18, Mitigation for FW-MOA-1411 OP9c Maintenance and Erosion Control; and 16-15, Mitigation for FW-MOA-1411 Submittals IIB and IIC. This project is intended to provide more comprehensive information on the nature and significance of cultural materials at DRO. Excavations at DRO and tests at Hurricane Bluff conducted during the 2015 and 2017 field seasons have demonstrated the sites to be unique in Alaska for its repeated use by people over many millennia."--Page iii

"Archaeological investigations of two placer gold mining sites on Marion Creek, Alaska, a tributary of the Koyukuk River, challenge the myth of the independent prospectors of the last frontier and reveal their dependence on the capitalist world-system. The Grassy Mound Cabin site (CHN-024) consists of a small cabin and trash scatter representing individual placer mining dated to the first decade of the 20th century. The Marion Creek Mining Complex site (WIS-286) is a multi-feature site reflecting capital and labor-intensive mining from multiple occupations during the first and second decades of the 20th century. The historical context of gold mining in the Koyukuk district is reconstructed from historical documents, exploring the process by which Alaska was incorporated into the capitalist world-system. Functional analysis of the assemblages and application of the Commodity Flow Model demonstrate how material culture and site economy changed as investments of capital and labor increased"--Leaf iii.
Analysis of the Atigun site based on work conducted in 1973 and 1974 on the North Slope of the Central Brooks Range, Alaska. The Atigun site is marginal to both Native and Inuit territory, thus the primary concern of this analysis is the cultural affiliation of its occupants. Conclusions point to late summer occupation of the site by Athapaskans between A.D. 1400 and A.D. 1800. This period is defined as the Kavik phase.
An investigation of the historic and late prehistoric periods in the Noatak River region of Northern Alaska was begun in June of 1962. Various regions of the Noatak Range were investigated for their archaeological possibilities but special attention was given the parts of the Range that have proved favorable in the past for the discovery of cultural remains. Several sites were discovered during these four years and excavation centered on those historic sites the older inhabitants remembered as important villages. Listed below are some subjects that were investigated: (1) subsistence procedures followed by the inhabitants before White contact; (2) local informants listed a few of the changes due to White contact; (3) artifacts were catalogued from various sites; (4) the celebration of various holidays was observed; (5) the changes in land use during the past 100 years; and (6) the biographies of the oldest woman and one of the oldest men in a village were recorded.
