The museum had received a request to repatriate these remains and artifacts in 1987, and a series of communications between the village and the Smithsonian resulted in the decision to repatriate the remains as culturally affiliated with the present day people of Larsen Bay. The burials had been excavated by a Smithsonian curator, Ales Hrdlicka, during a series of excavations in the 1930s, and dated from around 1000 B.C. to post-contact times. No report is available, but information on the site and the repatriation may be found in the following book: Reckoning With the Dead: the Larsen Bay Repatriation and the Smithsonian Institution.

  • Field Observations and Modeling of Tsunamis on the Islands of the Four Mountains, Aleutian Islands, Alaska
    Field Observations and Modeling of Tsunamis on the Islands of the Four Mountains, Aleutian Islands, Alaska Frances Griswold Advisor: Dr. Breanyn MacInnes Pages: 1-9 Introduction Adequate geophysical and historical information for assessing the potential danger of earthquakes and accurately predicting patterns of rupture do not exist for the Aleutian subduction zone. The historical records and eyewitness accounts are sparse, and the paleotsunami record is unstudied. To accurately assess the tsunami hazard facing countries throughout the Pacific Ocean because of the Aleutian subduction zone, the seismic history of the arc needs to be better documented and quantified. To document the frequency and magnitude of tsunamis along the Aleutian subduction zone, particularly near the Islands of the Four Mountains (IFM), I will identify paleotsunami, the 1946 tsunami, and the 1957 tsunami deposits in the field. I will then model these events using GeoClaw, a two-dimensional, shallow wave, open-source software package to determine the magnitude of earthquakes that can produce the identified tsunami deposits. By combining field and modeling components I will produce first-order estimates of how often and how large past earthquakes and subsequent tsunamis were along the eastern segment of the Aleutian subduction zone, specifically in the vicinity of IFM. The eastern Aleutians is an important place to conduct paleotsunami studies because the directionality of the eastern segment of the subduction zone, that is the direction of tsunami propagation, poses a great threat to countries across the Pacific and the west coast of the continental U.S. in particular. Background Information The Aleutian Islands are a volcanic arc located between the Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea where the Pacific Plate is subducting beneath the Bering Plate at a rate of 66 mm/yr in the eastern and central Aleutians (Cross and Freymueller, 2008) (Figure 1).

  • Distribution and Population Status of Whiskered Auklet in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska
    DISTRIBUTION AND POPULATION STATUS OF WHISKERED AUKLET IN THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS, ALASKA G. VERNON BYRD, Hawaiian Islands NWR, P.O. Box 87, Kilauea, Kauai, Hawaii 96754 DANIEL D. GIBSON, Universityof AlaskaMuseum, Fairbanks, Alaska 99701 The little known WhiskeredAuklet (Aethiapygrnaea) occurs only in the Aleutian(Figure 1), Commanderand Kurilislands of the North Pacific. In the Aleutian Islands it occurs from Unimak Pass to the Near Islands (Kesseland Gibson 1978), but the only documented nesting records are from Umnak Island (R.J. Gordon in litt.), Chagulak Island (Murie 1959), Atka Island (Turner 1886), and Buldir Island (Knudtsonand Byrd in press). This paper summarizesnew informationon the distributionof WhiskeredAuklet in the AleutianIslands, and providesa significantly higher estimateof the minimum population. METHODS Duringthe period 1972-1974 we were aboardthe R/V Aleutian Tern as it traveledto everymajor island in the Aleutians.In 1972 and 1974 nearlythe entireisland chain was traversed. In 1972 the trip was made during the breedingseason, but in 1974 observations were made in April, prior to nesting.In 1973 observationswere con- fined to the eastern Aleutians. Travel was generally confined to daylighthours so that continuousobservations could be made. One or two observerscounted birds within approximately 300 m of both sidesof the ship. The Aleutian Tern traveledat 16 km/h except when near islandswhen the speedwas reduced to as low as 8 km/h. Islandgroups within the Aleutiansare identifiedas follows:1) Fox Islands - Unimak Pass to Umnak Island (the area of each island groupends 16 km westof the westernmostisland, to includebirds associatedwith nestingcolonies); 2) Islandsof Four Mountains- Um- nak Island to Amukta Island; 3) Andreanor Islands- Amukta Island to UnalgaIsland; 4) Rat Islands- UnalgaIsland to BuldirIsland; 5) Near Islands - Buldir Island to Attu Island.

  • Reconnaissance Geology of Some Western Aleutian Islands, Alaska
    Reconnaissance Geology of Some Western Aleutian Islands, Alaska ^ By ROBERT R. COATS GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN 1028-E Prepared in cooperation with the Office, Chief of Engineers, U. S. Army '--A -V UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, WASHINGTON : 1956 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fred A. Seaton, Secretary GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Thomas B. Nolan, Director For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office Washington 25, D. C. PREFACE In October 1945 the War Department (now Department of the Army) requested the Geological Survey to undertake a program of volcano investigations in the Aleutian Islands-Alaska Peninsula area. The first field studies, under general direction of G. D. Robinson, were begun as soon as weather permitted in the spring of 1946. The results of the first year's field, laboratory, and library work were as­ sembled as two administrative reports. Part of the data was published in 1950 in Geological Survey Bulletin 974-B, Volcanic activity in the Aleutian arc, by Robert R. Coats. The remainder of the data has been revised for publication in Bulletin 1028. The geologic and geophysical investigations covered by this report were reconnaissance. The factual information presented is believed to be accurate, but many of the tentative interpretations and conclu­ sions will be modified as the investigations continue and knowledge grows. The investigations of 1946 were supported almost entirely by the Military Intelligence Division of the Office, Chief of Engineers, U. S. Army. The Geological Survey is indebted to the Office, Chief of Engineers, for its early recognition of the value of geologic studies in the Aleutian region, which made this report possible, and for its continuing support.
