- Comments
- Bone fragment collected at Avingak on Tulugak Lake by R. Reanier, 7/23/1985. The site consists of several semi-subterranean house pits, two of which were excavated by Campbell in 1961. The houses were square and had semi-subterranean entrance tunnels, and large centrally located, stone lined hearths. The artifacts recovered included side and end blades, microblades, and scrapers. A radiocarbon date of about 1500 BP suggests a Norton-Ipiutak occupation. The presence of microblades is thought to possibly represent an earlier occupation.
