This book was released on 1982 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The aim off this thesis is to delineate human/environment relationships during Wisconsinan-Holocene "transition" period in south-central Alaska and attempt to show how ecological and ethnographic data on contemporary hunters and gatherers may be used to suggest an explanation for prehistoric human adaptive behavior. This thesis considers problems related to the eco-psychological approach in anthropology, namely decision-making behavior, which provides significant insight into human evolution and adaptation. Additionally, this thesis attempts to discover decision-making principles which operate to achieve behavioral goals based on universal maximization principles of human rationale. The eco-psychological approach has the advantage of producing specific alternative hypothesis in such a way that both the environmental properties and predicted human behavior can be operationally defined."--Abstract, leaf iii.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis research involved a reinvestigation of the Teklanika West (HEA-001) archaeological site, central Alaska. It focused on understanding and expanding upon the site formation processes, dating, and characterizing cultural components at the site. Analyses were designed to address the preceding research purposes, while inter-relating research objectives. Twelve and a quarter square meters were excavated within five blocks located across the site. These excavation blocks yielded dateable materials in clear association with chipped-stone technology. Both environmental and cultural data obtained at the site have produced a more complex understanding of the site and surrounding landscape. Multiple components ranging in age from the late Pleistocene through late Holocene are represented at the site. Lithic analyses indicate a wide variety of lithic reduction occurring within components; ranging from biface production to late-stage weapons maintenance. Faunal remains from the oldest components consisted of bison, while the mid-late Holocene components consisted of caribou and sheep, respectively. All these data indicate that the upper Teklanika River valley was deglaciated by the late Pleistocene, allowing humans access to animals, new travel routes, and raw material resources.

Download or read book American Beginnings written by Frederick Hadleigh West and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1996-12 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last Ice Age, a thousand-mile-wide land bridge connected Siberia and Alaska, creating the region known as Beringia. Over twelve thousand years ago, a procession of large mammals and the humans who hunted them crossed this bridge to America. Much of the Russian evidence for this migration has until now remained largely inaccessible to American scholars. American Beginnings brings together for the first time in one volume the most up-to-date archaeological and palaeoecological evidence on Beringia from both Russia and America. "An invaluable resource. . . . It will no doubt remain the key reference book for Beringia for many years to come."—Steven Mithen, Journal of Human Evolution "Extraordinary. The fifty-six contributors . . . represent the most prominent American and Russian researchers in the region."—Choice "Publication of this well-illustrated compendium is a great service to early American and especially Siberian Upper Paleolithic archaeology."—Nicholas Saunders, New Scientist "This is a great book . . . perhaps the greatest contribution to the archaeology of Beringia that has yet been published. . . . This is the kind of book to which archaeology should aspire."—Herbert D.G. Maschner, Antiquity

Download or read book Environmental Archaeology written by Chris Turney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental Archaeology: Theoretical and Practical Approaches outlines and assesses the various methods used to reconstruct and explain the past interaction between people and their environment. Emphasising the importance of a highly scientific approach to the subject, the book combines geoarchaeological, bioarchaeological (archaeobotany and zooarchaeology) and geochronological information and examines how these various aspects of archaeology may be used to enhance our knowledge and understanding of past human environments. Drawing from both the practical experiences of the authors and cutting-edge research, Environmental Archaeology: Theoretical and Practical Approaches is a valuable contribution to the subject. It will be essential reading for students and professionals in archaeology, geography and anthropology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With cultural remains dated unequivocally to 13,000 calendar years ago, Dry Creek assumed major importance upon its excavation and study by W. Roger Powers. The site was the first to conclusively demonstrate a human presence that could be dated to the same time as the Bering Land Bridge. As Powers and his team studied the site, their work verified initial expectations. Unfortunately, the research was never fully published. Dry Creek: The Archaeology and Paleoecology of a Late Pleistocene Alaskan Hunting Camp is ready to take its rightful place in the ongoing research into the peopling of the Americas. Containing the original research, this book also updates and reconsiders Dry Creek in light of more recent discoveries and analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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
