Kodiak Dig Unearths Clues : Science in the News
[Sun’aq] Kodiak Dig Unearths Clues — and Leaves Questions from the Anchorage Daily News KODIAK — Going into the community archaeology dig this summer, Alutiiq Museum curator Patrick Saltonstall hoped to find one of the oldest inhabited sites on the Kodiak archipelago. What Saltonstall and a team of volunteers unearthed this year at the Amak site, near the Salonie Creek Rifle Range, was something different but no less important for understanding the people who lived on Kodiak Island thousands of years ago. While the ocean is about a mile from the site today, 3,000 years ago Womens Bay extended farther inland. The site would have overlooked a beach area at the head of the bay. http://ow.ly/6HbtA>
