Hahanudan Lake


Book Description

Archaeological investigation of two small house-pit sites located at Hahanudan Lake near the village of Huslia in the Koyukuk River drainage of western interior Alaska has produced lithic assemblages with Norton and Ipiutak culture characteristics. Radiocarbon dating indicates that cross ties are with the latter. This work expands the previously inland range of Ipiutak culture which is known primarily from coastal sites in northwestern Alaska.




Origins and Development of Early Northwest Coast Culture to about 3000 B.C.


Book Description

Archaeological data is presented to show that populations of two significantly contrasting cultural traditions and subsistence patterns, one spreading south from the north, and the other expanding northward from the south, appear to have been involved in the post-glacial settlement of the Northwest Coast of North America.

Book Description

Excavations in 1971 and 1972 reveal two major occupation levels at the Estuary Bison Pound site, located near the head of a large coulee on the south bank of the South Saskatchewan River, just below its confluence with the Red Deer River. They present strong evidence to suggest that the Old Women’s phase developed from the Avonlea phase.
