"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"
