Investigating Hunter-Gatherer Pottery Production and Social Networks in the Kuril Islands Of Pots and People: Investigating Hunter-Gatherer Pottery Production and Social Networks in the Kuril Islands Erik W. Gjesfjeld A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Ben Fitzhugh, Chair James Feathers Benjamin Marwick Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Anthropology © Copyright 2014 Erik W. Gjesfjeld University of Washington Abstract Of Pots and People: Investigating Hunter-Gatherer Pottery Production and Social Networks in the Kuril Islands Erik W. Gjesfjeld Chair of Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Ben Fitzhugh Anthropology Ethnographic and archaeological research shows that hunter-gatherers have colonized and inhabited a diverse range of environmental settings. One example of this is the occupation of the unique sub-arctic, island environment of the Kuril archipelago located in Northeast Asia. This research aims to investigate the strategies used by hunter-gatherers to meet the challenges associated with colonization and habitation of this dynamic landscape. Building from a human behavioral ecology framework, this research develops a model that provides a series of predictions for the structure of social networks in response to differing levels of environmental uncertainty within the Kuril Islands. Using a novel methodological approach, models of social relationships are derived from the compositional data of pottery indicating the movement of artifacts across the landscape. Once network models from archaeological data have been constructed, social network analysis methods are utilized to visually and quantitatively assess archaeological networks in relation to model expectations. In addition to investigating social network patterns, this research also provides a thorough and systematic approach to understanding the production and use of pottery within maritime foraging societies of the Kuril Islands. This includes the development of a regional pottery typology that contributes to the growing body of knowledge concerning the occupation history of the region. The research also investigated the technological attributes of pottery remains by utilizing a range for archaeometric methods to infer the pottery production process as well as regional and cultural differences in the use of pottery technology. Results of this research suggest that the colonization and settlement of the Kuril Islands is a complex process highly influenced by a range of environmental, cultural and demographic factors. In contrast to the theoretical expectations about the influence of biogeography, results suggest that environmental and geographic variables are not the primary influence on the colonization and long-term habitation of the Kuril Islands. Changes in the production and use of pottery vessels as well as differences in social network structures suggest the major differences recognized in the archipelago are primarily due to socio-cultural influences. This research supports a growing body of knowledge that living in marginal island landscapes is not comparable to living in geographic isolation but rather populations in these regions are highly influenced by broader political and economic conditions. Acknowledgments The dissertation project presented here is a product that represents the advice, support, collaboration and friendships of so many people that allowed me to achieve this dream. Ben Fitzhugh, my committee chair, academic advisor and friend provided me with the opportunity to participate in a truly collaborative project in one of the most amazing places in the world. His guidance, motivation and patience were vital to the development and success of this research and for that I am truly grateful. In addition to Ben, additional committee member including Ben Marwick, Jim Feathers and Peter Jordan provided valuable comments which factored greatly into the final product. Jody Bourgeois was not just a GSR but a collaborator and colleague. Given the international and interdisciplinary nature of this research, so many individuals from around the world assisted in the completion of this research. First and foremost, colleagues of the Kuril Biocomplexity Project were truly an inspirational collection of researchers that provided invaluable access to not only archaeological collections but also freely provided their time, thoughts and resources to helping me succeed. This is especially true of my collaborators at the Sakhalin Regional Museum including Olga Shubina, Valeri Shubin, Tatiana Roon, Natalia Toropova, Grandma Valentina, Sergey Kim and many others. The hospitality they showed me during nearly six months in Yuzhno-Sakhalin meant so much to me and I only hope that I can someday repay their kindness. The same is true for my colleagues at the Hokkaido University Museum in Tetsuya Amano, Hiroko Ono and Hirofumi Kato. Their willingness to show me collections, analyze materials and answer my questions about Japanese pottery was extremely helpful. Kaoru Tezuka of Sapporo University was not only a colleague, field partner and wonderful source of information for this research but also a good friend. Numerous other KBP individuals also assisted in this research through their comments, insights and willingness to answer questions. This includes Mike Eitner, Bre MacInnes, James Taylor, Matt Walsh, Pat Anderson and Cecilia Bitz. While not affiliated with the Kuril Biocomplexity Project, Sergey Rasskazov and his staff at the Institute of the Earth’s Crust at the Russian Academy of Sciences provided an immeasurable contribution to this research by providing all of the compositional data. The extensive archaeometric and statistical analyses associated with this research was greatly aided by the help of many people. This includes Jim Feathers and his willingness to teach me through basics of pottery analysis in an independent study, Steve Goodreau for his help with social network analysis, Elena Erosheva in CSSS who showed tremendous patience in helping me develop statistical routines, Tuesday Kuykendall for her guidance in XRD analysis and Laure Dussbieux at the Field Museum for her support of the LA-ICP-MS research. I want to acknowledge the direct and indirect funding support that I received from several institution and organizations. The research reported here was supported by the Kuril Biocomplexity Project funded by the United States National Science Foundation (ARC-0508109; Ben Fitzhugh, PI). Additional support was provided by the University of Washington, The Hokkaido University Museum, the Sakhalin Regional Museum and the Far East Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In addition, this research would not have been possible without a Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant (ARC-1202879) from the Arctic Social Science Division at the National Science Foundation which funded so much of the travel and laboratory fees of this research. In addition, the IGERT Program in Evolutionary Modeling (IPEM) provided funding for much of the pilot research as well as supplemental support for a range of projects. More than the funding, the IPEM experience was a truly transformative experience for me and I am so grateful to Tim Kohler and Eric Smith for leadership of IPEM over the years and I hope that my current and future research can live up to the expectation of this unique program. In addition, grants from the Quaternary Research Center as well as the NSF Archaeomtery at the Field Musuem program provided valuable sources of funding. The long process of obtaining a PhD is not a journey that I went on alone. I was fortunate to be surrounded by amazing a group of friends at the University of Washington which helped so much in getting through the tough times as well as celebrating the good times. Colby Phillips was a close colleague that freely provided his knowledge, helpfulness, backyard and most importantly his friendship, all of which I am extremely grateful for. Adam Freeburg, Shelby Anderson, Jack Johnson, Amanda Taylor, Lisbeth Louderback, Molly Odell, Emily Peterson you were the best friends and grad student colleagues I could ask for with a willingness to help out in any situation without any reservation. Seungki Kwak provided so much help and freely gave long hours in the Sachs Lab to help with this research, Will Brown endured numerous requests for radiocarbon dates and never failed to deliver and Natasha Slobodina whose perseverance and help in setting up this research was absolutely critical to the success of this research and I am so thankful for everything she did. Beyond these wonderful graduate students, the staff of the Anthropology Department did so much in helping me negotiate the complexities of University of Washington. Catherine Ziegler is the most amazing Graduate Program Advisor I have ever had the opportunity to meet and John Cady’s expertise and willingness to walk me through the numerous funding issues was so very important and I am so very thankful. Finally, none of these accomplishments would be possibly without the love and support of my friends and family. To my family, who never offered anything but strong encouragement in all of my decisions such as my attendance of grad school at UCL and most importantly my dream of obtaining a PhD. To my best friends Jeremy and Erik, you have been with me through all the highs and lows and I can’t wait to celebrate this accomplishment with you. Most importantly, I want to thank my wife for her years of sacrifice in allowing me to achieve this dream. Nearly

Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Russia, (2) Sakhalin Tsunami Warning Center, Federal Service of Russia for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Russia Institute of Marine Geology & Geophysics (the Far East Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences) carried out long wave measurements in the area of South Kuril Islands with the purpose of tsunami recording closely to the seismic active zone and study long wave spectra variability depending of weather conditions. Bottom pressure gauges were installed in several harbors of Shikotan Island, near Cape Lovtsov (north-eastern end of Kunashir Island), in the Kitoviy Bay (Iturup Island) and near Cape Van-der-Lind (Urup Island). Sakhalin Tsunami Center has a cable telemetry tsunami warning station in the Severo-Kurilsk (Paramushir Island). Two tsunamis - a remote Samoa (September 30) and nearby Simushir tsunami (January 15) were recorded by different gauges in the area of South Kuril Islands and by telemetry station in Severo-Kurilsk. To examine spectral properties of long wave oscillations at each gauge, we calculated power spectral estimation using two different data segments (both 1 day length): the period preceding the tsunami event, we identified as “normal” and selected for analysis of the background signal; the “tsunami period” included tsunami caused oscillations.

  • Russia's Ring of Fire
    Russia’s Ring of Fire Kamchatka, the Commander & Kuril Islands 26th May to7th June 2021 (13 days) Zodiac cruise & Auklet flocks by N. Russ The Pacific Ring of Fire manifests itself in numerous places on the rim of the Pacific Ocean – but nowhere more dramatically than in Russia’s Far East. Along one of the world’s most active plate boundaries, the Pacific plate subducts under the Eurasian plate and the resulting volcanic and geothermal activity has built a unique and amazing landscape. Upwelling from the deep trenches formed by this action and currents around the many islands means there is an abundance of food for both birds and marine mammals, making the seas here amongst the richest in the world. The region’s human history is as interesting and as fascinating as the geological history and it is closely connected to the oceans that surround it. The earliest people to settle in the RBL Russia - Ring of Fire Itinerary 2 region, the Ainu, lived from the sea. Explorer Vitus Bering and, at the height of the Cold war, Russia’s formidable Pacific Fleet, were based in the region. The secrecy surrounding the fleet resulted in the region being ‘closed’ even to Russians, who had to obtain special permits to travel to and within the area. It is only now, two decades since Perestroika, that people can travel relatively freely here, although there is still very little in the way of infrastructure for visitors. This voyage takes us where very few people have been – or are able to go. The region falls into three quite distinct and unique geographical regions: the Kamchatka Peninsula, the Commander Islands (the western extremity of the Aleutian chain of islands) and the Kuril Islands.

  • Status and Occurrence of Parakeet Auklet (Aethia Psittacula) in British Columbia
    Status and Occurrence of Parakeet Auklet (Aethia psittacula) in British Columbia. By Rick Toochin and Louis Haviland. Introduction and Distribution The Parakeet Auklet (Aethia psittacula) is a small species of auklet found breeding in the Beringia region of Alaska and Russia (Gaston and Jones 1998). This species has an Alaskan population estimated at 1 million birds (Gaston and Jones 1998). There is also a Russian population, but the exact population total is not known, due to a lack of population inventory work, but it is estimated to number about 400,000 birds with the vast majority, about 300,000 birds, found in the Sea of Okhotsk (Gaston and Jones 1998). The Parakeet Auklet has breeding colonies that are found on rocky mainland points and islands in the Gulf of Alaska (Jones et al. 2001). These sites include: Shumagin Island, Semidi Isand, Chirikof Island near Kodiak, locally in Kenai Peninsula and southeastern Alaska with small numbers south to St. Lazaria, Hazy and Forrester Island; and in the Aleutian Islands west to Buldir and Agattu Island; and in the Bering Sea at Little Diomede, St. Lawrence Island, King Island, St. Matthew Island, Pribilof Island and Nunivak Island (Sowls et al. 1978). The Parakeet Auklet also breeds in Russia in the Kurile Island chain with colonies on Chirinkontan, Lovushki, Raikoke, Matua, Yankicha, Simushir, Brat Chirpoev, Urup, and Iturup Island (Jones et al. 2001, Brazil 2009). They are also breeding on islands in the Sea of Okhotsk with colonies on Sakhalin, Tyuleniy, Iona, Talan, and Yamskyie Island (Jones et al. 2001, Brazil 2009). The Parakeet Auklet is also found breeding on Commander Island, and northwards locally along coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula, on Karaginski Island, Cape Navarin, and on Chukotka Peninsula (Konyukhov 1989, Kondratyev et al.

There are only four lidar stations in the world, which have almost continuously performed observations of the stratospheric aerosol layer (SAL) state for over the last 30 years. The longest time series of the SAL lidar measurements have been accumulated at the Mauna Loa Observatory (Hawaii) since 1973, the NASA Langley Research Center (Hampton, Virginia) since 1974, and Garmisch-Partenkirchen (Germany) since 1976. The fourth lidar station we present started to perform routine observations of the SAL parameters in Tomsk (56.48 N, 85.05 E, Western Siberia, Russia) in 1986. In this 15 paper, we mainly focus on and discuss the stratospheric background period from 2000 to 2005 and the causes of the SAL perturbations over Tomsk in the 2006–2015 period. During the last decade, volcanic aerosol plumes from tropical Mt. Manam, Soufriere Hills, Rabaul, Merapi, Nabro, and Kelut, and extratropical (northern) Mt.

Benjamin Fitzhugh Anthropology This research assesses the effects of environmental conditions on the strategic decisions of low-density foragers in regards to their stone tool raw material procurement and consumption behavior. Social as well as technological adaptations allow human groups to meet the challenges of environments that are circumscribed due to geographic isolation, low biodiversity, and the potential impacts of natural events. Efficient resource management and participation in social networks can be viewed within the framework of human behavioral ecology as optimal forms of behavior aimed at increasing the chances of successful adaptations to dynamic island environments. A lithic resource consumption behavioral model is constructed and predictions derived from the model are tested through the analysis of lithic flake debitage from artifact assemblages representing 2,100 years of human occupation in the Kuril Islands of Far Eastern Russia in the North Pacific Ocean. The relative proportions of debitage across lithic reduction sequence stages provides a measure of lithic reduction intensity, which is compared with the model predictions based on the environmental conditions and local availability of lithic resources in six archaeological sites.
