This interdisciplinary study combines the fields of archaeology, ethnography and geology to enrich our understanding of past human use in this dynamic and ever changing landscape. The field work for this report was conducted in 1995 in a collaborative effort between the National Park Service's Alaska Regional Office, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, the Smithsonian Institution's Arctic Studies Center and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The Hoonah Indian Association was consulted throughout the project and provided two students to assist in the survey and excavation work. Following the 1995 season the researchers continued to build on the knowledge gained that first season and their expanding understanding of the Hoonah Tlingit response to rapid landscape change has resulted in several professional publications and is reflected in this new volume. It is our hope that this report will help park visitors to better understand and appreciate the human dimensions of this magnificent park.
