Chaco Canyon National Monument - English
URL: http://www.chaco.com/park/

Chaco Canyon was an important Anasazi (ancient Native American) cultural center from about 900 through 1130 AD. About 30 ancient masonry buildings, containing hundreds of rooms each, attest to Chaco's importance. Some structures are thought to serve as astronomical observatories or calendars. Archaeologists discovered jewelry made from Mexican and Californian materials in ancient trash heaps. Large well-constructed roadways thought to be built for pilgrims, subjects, or traders, lead from sites 50 miles away to the center of Chaco Canyon. In a very real sense, all roads lead to Chaco.

The Greater Southwest - English

The geographic boundaries have never been precisely delineated, but an 'old saw' suggests that the region runs from Durango Colorado to Durango Mexico, and from Las Vegas Nevada to Las Vegas New Mexico. The archaeologists of this region celebrate a diverse mix of people and their cultures, the in-situ preservation of sites and artifacts, and the greater scientific appreciation of these elements within their cultural, biological and spatial contexts.

The North: Alaska and Canada, Greenland and Scandinavia, and the vast reaches of northern Russia. The region contains about a quarter of the land surface on earth, some 15 million square miles. The northern seas contain some of the richest concentrations of marine life on the planet. Today, the North is home to only one percent of the world's human population, but it holds resources and wildlands that are essential to all of humankind.

Paleo-Arctic tradition - English
URL: http://watarts.uwaterloo.ca/ANTHRO/rwpark/ArcticArchStuff/PaleoArctic.html

The earliest well-documented human occupations of the North American Arctic, between 10,000 and 7000 years BP, are assigned to a poorly defined phenomenon known as the Paleo-Arctic tradition. It is known only from lithic artifacts, especially microblades and small bifaces. The most diagnostic artifacts are wedge-shaped microcores.

"The Arctic Small Tool tradition represents a widespread phenomenon in the North American Arctic between approximately 4200 and 2800 BP. It is characterized by finely made microblades, spalled burins, small side and end scrapers, and side and end blades. It includes the Denbigh Flint complex in northern Alaska, the Independence I and Pre-Dorset cultures in Arctic Canada, and the Sarqaq culture in Greenland."

Norton is an Alaskan tradition comprising the Choris, Norton and Ipiutak cultures, and persisting from 3000 BP until 1200 BP in some areas. Assemblages typically contain flaked stone tools similar to the Denbigh Flint complex, but most also exhibit pottery and oil lamps.

Dorset culture - English
URL: http://watarts.uwaterloo.ca/ANTHRO/rwpark/ArcticArchStuff/Dorset.html

The Dorset culture occupied the Canadian Arctic from 2500 BP until at least 1000 BP. Best known for exquisite miniature carvings, perhaps the paraphernalia of shamans, Dorset appears to have been a more successful adaptation to the conditions of this region than the preceding Arctic Small Tool tradition cultures from which it developed. This is demonstrated by the huge area occupied by Dorset groups and by evidence that they had perfected winter hunting on the sea ice.

Thule tradition - English

The Thule tradition (which lasted from 2000 to 400 years ago) includes the Old Bering Sea, Okvik, Punuk, Birnirk, and Thule cultures. It seems to have developed out of the Norton tradition . It represented a new kind of adaptation to the Arctic environment, based on the hunting of large sea mammals in open water through the use of drag floats.
