Recent podcast offers updated research on two Aleutian projects
by Kathleen McCoy |
Listen to a featuring separate reports on Aleutian research projects by National Park Service archaeologist Dr. Rachel Mason and 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 Anthropology professor Dr. Diane Hanson. For the past several years, these two collaborators have delivered updates on their work at the 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 Campus Bookstore.
In this year's talk, held Nov. 13, 2012, Mason describes the recent Anchorage reunion
of Attuans on Oct. 9-11, 2012. While many residents of the Aleutians were relocated
to different parts of Alaska, the 42 Attuans captured by the Japanese were transported
to Otura, Hokkaido. One died on the journey and was buried at sea, Mason said.
Mason shares other Attuans' experiences and stories, including many historical photographs.
Dr. Diane Hansen recounts how she and several graduate students were able to date
an upland house on Adak to similar dwellings 385 miles away in the eastern Aleutians,
and what that finding means.
