Current Anthropology Volume 1, Number 2 complete issue. First edition. James Louis Giddings was an American archaeologist who made significant contributions to Arctic archaeology. During three decades of his fieldwork in Northwest Alaska he established evidence of human occupation raging as far back as 4,000 B.C.E. Giddings was invited by Froelich Rainey to participate in an archaeological project at Point Hope, Alaska. During the excavation, Giddings recognized a new archaeological site in the Arctic. Giddings with Rainey and Danish archaeologist, Helge Larsen, discovered the origins of the Ipiutak settlement. After finding the Ipiutak settlement, Giddings turned his interests toward the Kobuk river region to study the living Eskimos and their ancient settlements. In the forest bordered Kobuk River he began the science of subarctic dendrochronology. Using wooden artifacts from Kobuk River sites, he became the first to use this new dating technique in the Arctic. Giddings continued his research at Norton Bay during the summers of 1948 through 1952. At the site he discovered the Denbigh Flint complex, a previously unknown Paleo-Eskimo culture in Alaska. Condition: Corners bumped, light edge wear else very good.
