Abstract
In this study, Clark examines the degree of relationship between the Kachemak tradition of Kodiak island and the Norton tradition of western Alaska. He compares trait lists (aprox. 325 traits) from both cultures to determine their differences and correspondences. He notes only 17 correspondences and concludes that the overlap between the two cultures is not strong enough to demonstrate a close relationship.
