Hahanudan Lake : An Ipiutak-Related Occupation of Western Interior Alaska (Archaeological Survey of Canada, Paper No. 71 – National Museum of Man Mercury Series)

$30.00 CAD

pp. 168, black and white photographs and illustrations throughout. “Two small house-pit sites located at Hahanudan Lake near the village of Huslia in the Koyukuk River drainage of western interior Alaska were excavated by a National Museum of Man field party in 1971. Artifacts were recovered from the houses and from additional minor sites. Radiocarbon dating and other considerations show that the sites are of slightly different ages but they can safely be grouped into a single phase or culture on the basis of similar assemblages. Hahanudan’s greatest significance lies in these artifacts which are either specifically or generally similar to Ipiutak specimens. The Hahanudan assemblage thus is considered to be an interior technological manifestation of Ipiutak culture, probably ethnically Eskimo, and is therefore of special interest inasmuch as the sites are located well within presented Koyukon Indian territory.”
