Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. viii+136 pages with 16 plates, figures, one map and index. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6") bound in original publisher's olive green cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Smithsonian Institution, Bureau of American Ethnology, Bulletin 199 . From the library of Thomas R Hester. First edition. Crow Village was originally called Tulukarugmiut (Tulukaghogamiut) by the native Yup'ik population, which roughly translates as "Raven Village People". It is widely believed to be named that after the boisterous raven population native to the nearby bluff. It has also been called Tulukagnag, Toolooka-anahamute, Tuluka and Tulukagangamiut by various explorers and historians; however it is now referred to as Crow Village. Given the length of occupancy of Crow Village by the native population, the site has had several archaeological digs. Archaeologist Ale Hrdlička recovered some bone material from Old Crow Village in 1930 and reportedly took some pictures. In 1953, archaeologist Wendell H. Oswalt collected tree ring samples at New Crow Village. He would return for a three-week study in 1954 with James Van Stone and again in 1963 for the entire summer. The 1963 dig was the most extensive as they researched 5 dwellings in Old Crow Village and interviewed area natives including Crow Village Sam as part of their research into the cultural history of the area. The findings can be found in the book entitled "The Ethnoarchaeology of Crow Village, Alaska". This project pioneered the use of archeology as a means to augment oral and written sources in constructing a historical ethnography of a Native people. Thomas R Hester is professor emeritus of the University of Texas at Austin and is the author of a number of works on anthropology and archaeology. He is still active in the Texas Archaeological Society and is often a frequent speaker. Condition: Previous owner's name to front paste down else very good,

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of historical archaeology in Alaska, specifically focusing on the Kuskokwim River system and the Yupik Eskimo people who inhabited it. The author's journey begins with a curious discovery at Crow Village, an abandoned settlement near Aniak, where artifacts unearthed from the midden sparked vivid memories and ethnographic insights from local Eskimos. Set against the backdrop of European contact and trade, the narrative explores the cultural dynamics of the Kuskokwim River region during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The author meticulously pieces together the lives of the Crow Village inhabitants, their dwellings, tools, and customs, using a blend of archaeological findings, historical records, and oral traditions. Central to the book's exploration is the concept of cultural change and continuity. The author examines how the influx of Western trade goods and ideas influenced Yupik society, leading to adaptations in material culture and lifeways while also highlighting the resilience of certain traditions. The Crow Village study serves as a microcosm of the broader transformations experienced by indigenous communities across Alaska during this period. By weaving together archaeological data, ethnographic observations, and historical accounts, this book offers a compelling and nuanced understanding of Yupik Eskimo life in a time of transition. It sheds light on the complex interplay between tradition and innovation, revealing the enduring legacy of a people and their unique adaptation to the Alaskan landscape. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
