AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Del Bene examined the lithic artifacts at Anangula to understand how they were produced. Anangula was then compared to several other sites in Alaska and Canada. Del Bene found that Anangula is unique in several ways. Emphasis was placed on producing burins on blades or segments of blades. The site also has a high proportion of transverse burins compared to other sites where longitudinal and tranverse burins are in almost equal proportions. In addition, conservation of lithic material was not emphasized.
