Abstract
This document describes the excavation of two small house-pit sites by a National Museum of Man field party in 1971, at Hahanudan Lake near the village of Huslia in the Koyukuk River drainage of western interior Alaska. Radiocarabon dates taken at the two sites show slightly different ages but nevertheless the author believes, based on the similarity of artifact assemblages, that they can be grouped safely into a single archaelogical phase or culture. '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 present Koyukon Indian territory' (p. ii).
