Physical and cultural landscapes of Sitka National Historical Park, Sitka, Alaska

Chancy GP, Betts RC, Longenbaugh D. 1995. Physical and cultural landscapes of Sitka National Historical Park, Sitka, Alaska. Vanguard Research. Douglas, Alaska

The present study models the chronology of landform evolution within Sitka National Historical Park over the past 5,500 years and provides baseline data for future archaeological surveys in the Park. Aerial photography, cartography, published and unpublished literature, National Park Service topographic mapping data, and information collected during eight days of field work conducted in October 1994 are analyzed and a local uplift model is developed. Results from the analysis of 13 radiocarbon samples and analysis of volcanic ash identified in the Park provide a framework for landform evolution chronology.
