| Research Abstract |
This research was oriented towards recovering larger samples of faunal materials, lithic and ceramic artifacts, and radiocarbon samples in order to provide a better understanding of the subsistence practices, technology, social organization, and timing of migration and occupation of the north-central and central Kuril Islands.
This research also has greatly contributed on understanding the feedbacks among climate, sea ice, terrestrial ecology, and humans ; estimating the degree of human vulnerability to catastrophic events and their ecological consequences at different spatial and temporal scales ; and assessing the role of cultural variables both in influencing community survival and affecting environmental changes. These objectives are being tackled through an ecologically integrated study of : archaeological and historic records of human settlement and abandonment ; geologic evidence of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis ; paleoecological evidence of past vegetation ; and climatological evidence of past temperature, sea ice, and storminess.
