Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Department of
Anthropology, University of Alaska
Anchorage professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Native Village of Nikolski.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1968, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed by Alaska Department of Fish
and Game personnel from Aishishik
Point site, northern Umnak Island, in
Aleutians West Borough, AK. The
human remains include a skull
fragment, right femur, and partial left
femur. The human remains were
donated to the Laboratory of
Anthropology, Alaska Methodist
University shortly thereafter. In 1976,
the human remains were transferred to
the University of Alaska Anchorage. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Based on test excavations, the site was
occupied between ca. 1500 years ago
and protohistoric times. The Unangax
(Aleut) people are the only people to
have lived in the Aleutian Islands before
European Contact. The Unangax still
live in their traditional region.
In an unknown year, human remains
representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed by BIA
archeologist Neil Crozier from Anangula
Village Site, Ananiuliak Island, Nikolski
Bay, in the Aleutians West Borough,
AK. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The Anangula village has a multithousand year history of occupation by
ancestral Aleuts. The Unangax (Aleut)
people are the only people to have lived
in this area before European contact.
