Résumé
The Uivvaq site, near Cape Lisburne in Northwest Alaska, was abandoned in 1950 after its acquisition by the U.S. Air Force. In 2000 and 2002, reconnaissance archaeological investigations (15 m2) were undertaken at one of the surviving mounds. A trench excavation revealed three principal components dating between ad 950 and 1650, based on a suite of seventeen 14C assays. Paleotemperatures were estimated from associated beetle remains and correlated with storm stratigraphy. The three archaeo-logical components include (a) the lowermost (ad 950–1050) associated with Natchuk and Thule II harpoon heads, succeeded by (b) a middle component (ad 1050–1150) that yielded a Punuk “trident,” or counterweight, while (c) the uppermost (ad 1300–1600) contained a Thule IIc multibarbed har-poon head and an Intermediate Kotzebue assemblage.
