Material from small-scale excavations near the Inuit-Native interface relates to several periods of Inuit prehistory but shows also interior or non-Inuit influence.
Excavations at three Ocean Bay culture sites at Ocean Bay and on Afognak Island bordering the Gulf of Alaska extend time depth to circa 4000 B.C. and gave a new technological dimension to a sub-area of the North Pacific where the previously known sequence had for 3,000 years emphasised ground slate technology.
Minor excavations and surface collections are described. This report focuses on material of the second millennium A.D. and the concurrent question of local variation.
This anthropological bibliography of the Pacific Inuit area of Alaska also features an extended historical coverage for Kodiak and adjacent Islands. Many of the nearly five hundred entries are annotated.
This study describes the history of Fort Reliance, assesses the nature and extent of archaeological remains, and examines the relationship between Native use of the site, previously known through the recovery of stone artifacts that relate to a precontact or prehistoric technology, and the trading post.
Approximately seventy-five prehistoric sites and nearly fifty historic or recent camps are reported in the areas north and west of Great Bear Lake. Collections are small and in most cases superficial, but groupings and periodization are attempted.
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.
This volume reports on the findings from the extensive archaeological surveys and excavations in the Batza Téna area, Alaska’s most important source of obsidian.

This site report describes excavations since 1963 on Kodiak Island, Alaska. The seven millennia of cultural continuity accorded to Kodiak history and prehistory have an important bearing on the past of the northern North Pacific region as well as on Inuit origins.
This volume summarizes two seasons of archaeological survey and a brief reconnaissance at Great Bear Lake in 1972, 1976 and 1979. The survey was restricted primarily to the northern and northwestern shores of the lake, a region that was occupied at the time of historic contact by the Hare group of Athapaskans (Dene). Approximately 140 lithic (prehistoric) sites were located and are described together with the same number of historic camps, structures and caribou fences.
