The principal site of excavation - KdVo-6 - is currently dated on a presumed Denali / Northwest Microblade Tradition component at c. 10,000 calendar years, however an earlier Nenana component on the site remains undated. Similar Nenana components nearby in Alaska include the earliest sites in Beringia (Broken Mammoth). Further excavations this year are orientated to determining the antiquity of the Nenana component at KdVo-6. The Instructor has been working in the area since 1992 and has developed a deep understanding of the region's history and culture and maintains close relationships with many local residents. Regular participation by native athapaskans and language learning are important components of this course, as well as the integrated, community-based approach to the practice of anthropology which is mentored. We work closely with colleagues in just over the border in the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge and the Tanana Chief's Conference as well. In 2006 we hope to visit the U of Nevada's field school in the Wrangel Mountains. Students are expected to contribute to public interpretation through interaction with tourists, and regular contributions to the Yukon News and the course website. Students also become involved in local community needs, undertaking small projects in support of the goals of the First Nation's Elders and youth. The course is a requirement for advancement in ARCOM North - of which little can be said without compromising its mandate - however student participants can expect to receive a nifty ARCOM North t-shirt and further instruction in its shadowy world. A subsidiary program - Art and Archaeology - is also planned. This will bring several artists working in different mediums to work with us and the community for a week with the expectation that they will create a work for display in a show planned for the fall of 2006. Quotes from former students"This course changed my life. It made me a better person, more tolerant of different cultural ways, and encouraged me to mature in my self-confidence in my abilities." |
