The
projectiles and other artifacts on these pages are from the
Western through the Northern coastal regions of Alaska,
including the Northern interior.
This includes the areas
from Nunivak
Island, north to the area surrounding Norton Bay (Cape Denbigh)
(St. Michael, Unalakleet
to Nome and Wales), Kotzebue Bay (Kotzebue and
*Cape Krusenstern)
to
Point Hope, Cape Lisburne

St. Lawrence Island and surrounding Punuk Islands
Southwards into the Alaskan Peninsula to Chignik Lake (Aleutian Peninsula) and
then hopping over to Unalaska Island
and other sites along the
Aleutian Islands
*Cape
Krusenstern Archeological District contains the cultural remains
of peoples who have inhabited these beaches for 5,000 or more
years. Adjacent to the ridges on unglaciated uplands in the
Igichuk Hills are surface deposits that extend the record
backward to the time of the end of the Pleistocene. The beach
ridges of Cape Krusenstern provide a broad, horizontal
stratigraphy which includes virtually all phases of cultural
history known in northwest Alaska.
