| Research Abstract |
In the course of intensive investigations at Locality 1, Chuck Lake Site, Heceta Island, 506 microblades and 16 cores were discovered in addition to faunal remains and pollen samples. A distinctive maritime-oriented economy was postulated by the analyses of midden contents, especially fish bones. ^<14>C dates correspond with those obtained by Ackerman and others in 1985. No excavation was undertaken at the Warm Chuck Village, where garden plots were recorded on our map but no definite trace of houses were discerned. Stone fish weirs and a petroglyph were apparently associated with the site. Early historical contact of the Tlingit Indians with Spanish explorers and the content of trades were compiled and analysed by W.M. Olson, an American member of our team, which is useful as a guideline for our work in the coming years.
