Aleut Settlement Patterns In The Western Aleutian Islands, Alaska.
Thesis (M.A.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 1991 This thesis presents a settlement pattern analysis of prehistoric midden sites in the Near Islands, Alaska. It represents the only such study to date, which focuses on an entire island group inhabited by a distinct social/political entity. This is a...
