On the edge of the Arctic Ocean, above the Arctic Circle, the
prehistoric settlements at Point Hope, Alaska, represent a truly
remarkable accomplishment in human biological and cultural
adaptations. Presenting a set of anthropological analyses on the
human skeletal remains and cultural material from the Ipiutak and
Tigara archaeological sites, The Foragers of Point Hope sheds new
light on the excavations from 1939-41, which provided one of the
largest sets of combined biological and cultural materials of
northern latitude peoples in the world. A range of material items
indicated successful human foraging strategies in this harsh Arctic
environment. They also yielded enigmatic artifacts indicative of
complex human cultural life filled with dense ritual and artistic
expression. These remnants of past human activity contribute to a
crucial understanding of past foraging lifeways and offer important
insights into the human condition at the extreme edges of the
globe.
