A Zooarchaeological Analysis of the Monashka Bay Site (KOD-026) Kodiak Island, Alaska
… by Christopher Donta at the Monashka Bay site on Kodiak Island. Analysis included all vertebrate remains (n = 36,273) larger than 1/8” from bulk samples collected in Area 3, a midden dating AD 1550-1670 during the site’s Koniag occupation. Results indicated a focus on cod (68% of fish identified …

Alutiiq Engineering: The Mechanics and Design of Skeletal Technologies in Alaska's Kodiak Archipelago
… by protohistoric Alutiiq foragers of Alaska's Kodiak region. Drawing on a sample of over 300 osseous tools and tool blanks, the engineering designs of five tool types were investigated: unbarbed arrows, barbed sea mammal harpoons, fishing harpoon tips, woodworking wedges, and awls. By employing …

Morphology and structure of the accretionary prism offshore North Sumatra, Indonesia and offshore Kodiak Island, USA : a comparison to seek a link between prism formation and hazard potential
Sumatra and Kodiak Islands experienced recent megathrust earthquakes with devastating tsunami; recurrence of large earthquakes is predicted. Studies of the accretionary prism offshore of northern Sumatra, 1-7°N and 92-97°E, reveal a steep outer slope (5-12°), a plateau ~100-120 km wide, and a steep …

Clams and climate: implications for measuring seasonality in the marine bivalve, saxidomus gigantea
… can exhibit great variability locally. In the Kodiak archipelago in the Gulf of Alaska, changing environmental conditions, population growth, technological transitions, and contact with other communities likely promoted the transition from needs based maritime hunting and gathering to …

Simultaneous multi-angle measurements of plasma turblence at HAARP
… Radar (MUIR) sited at HAARP, the Super DARN-Kodiak HF radar, and HF receivers to record stimulated electromagnetic emissions (SEE). Short pulse, low duty cycle experiments demonstrate control and suppression of artificial field-aligned irregularities (AFAI). This allows the isolation of …
