Catalog of archaeological site survey records, Amchitka Island, Alaska
The purpose of the archaeological investigation on Amchitka Island was primarily to prevent loss of archaeological materials through unauthorized excavation and inadvertent destruction of sites by construction activities. An inventory of 76 archaeological sites was completed in 1968 and recommendations were made for salvage of some sites which were presumed to be within the range of damage by activities of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission's scientific program for Amchitka Island. Salvage was begun on Site 49 RAT 35 in 1968. In 1969 the salvage program was completed and all sites were reviewed for unauthorized excavation. This document presents detailed archaeological site survey reports for sites 49 RAT 1 through 49 RAT 78 and a location map of these sites.
