AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The authors mostly discuss the Late Tundra core and blade site on Anangula or Ananiuliak Island, but also mention the more recent village site. They summarize the research done on the island and the research done at the Late Tundra core and blade site. They point out that two different authors hold two different opinions on the age of the site and the length of occupation. Described are the stratigraphy, the artifact assemblage, the house depressions, evidence of manufacturing areas, the site's likely maritime economic base, and a likely reason for abandoning the site.
