In 2003 test excavations were conducted by Charles M. Mobley & Associates to evaluate the National Register eligibility of prehistoric sites jeopardized and ultimately damaged by construction of the Kenai--Kachemak Pipeline, on the west side of Alaska's Kenai Peninsula in upper Cook Inlet. A two-roomed semi-subterranean Dena'ina house forming part of a larger prehistoric village near Kasilof contained in its sod wall a well-preserved cache of stone, bone, antler, shell, and bark artifacts. Radiocarbon dates indicate successive occupation of the site (KEN-360), with the hearth in House 8--holding the tool cache--yielding a date of 270 ± 50 bp, calibrated to an age range of ad 1490 to 1680. The finished tools, unfinished tools, and raw materials form a tightly associated collection providing insight into prehistoric Dena'ina tool manufacture, use, and curation. That the feature type has not heretofore been reported may reflect sampling bias, since most investigations have focused on room interiors and exterior middens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
