Description
Summary:This work was funded by an AHRC-LabEx award (AH/N504543/1) to KB, RK, KD and IS and an Arts and Humanities Research Council (AH/K006029/1) grant awarded to RK, KB and Charlotta Hillerdal (Aberdeen). The onsite collection of samples was carried out by staff and students from the University of Aberdeen, volunteer excavators and the residents of Quinhagak. We had logistical and planning support for fieldwork by the Qanirtuuq Incorporated, Quinhagak, Alaska, and the people of Quinhagak, who we also thank for sampling permissions. Special thanks to Warren Jones, John Smith and Qanirtuuq Incorporated (especially Michael Smith and Lynn Church), and to all project team members, in Aberdeen and at other institutions. Thank you to Véronique Forbes and Paul Ledger for their valuable comments on the final draft of the paper. Finally, thank you to Peter Jordan (University of Groningen) for inviting us to contribute to this special issue and for his patience. Research Data will be made available on request Peer reviewed
