Outline of Final Research Achievements

The oldest Aleutian archeological site (about 8400 BP) is located on Anangula Island, roughly 7 km north of Nichoski, on the southwestern end of Umnak Island in the Fox Islands. We collaborated with Dr. Hatfield of the Museum of the Aleutians and Dr. Savinetsky of the Russian Academy of Sciences to excavate a 1.7 m deep peatland deposit on Anangula Island. Coarse-grained tephras identified at a depth of 1.5 m and 0.7 m (tentatively called T-1, T-2) are both composed of andesitic rock fragments and free crystals. They contain plagioclase, orthopyroxene, augite, and Fe-Ti oxides. Although they are correlated with Ash III and Ash IV around Nikolski, the radiocarbon ages obtained are much younger than the ages estimated from these tephras. The peat layer upstream of the Iliuliuk River on Unalaska Island dates to the early Holocene.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

この研究は,テフラ学・考古学・古生態学の学際的研究によってアレウト最古の考古遺跡を再検討するもので,アリューシャン博物館のHatfield博士やロシア科学アカデミーのSavinetsky博士らとの日米露の国際共同研究により実施した.北限近傍の環境変遷と火山噴火が,アレウトの拡散展開にどのように影響を与えたかを議論し,アーカイブとしての考古遺跡の保存についても検討している.
