It is here, and here -alone, where a land of another continent approaches so near to -America that a passage of man with primitive means of navigation -and provisioning was possible. All the affinities of the American -native point toward the more eastern parts of Asia. In Siberia, -Mongolia, Tibet, Manchuria, Formosa, and in some of the islands -off southeastern Asia, living remnants of the same type of man as -the American aborigines are to this day encountered, and it is here -in the farthest northwest where actual passings of parties of natives -between the Asiatic coast and the Bering Sea islands and between -the latter and the American coasts have always, since these parts were -known, been observed and are still of common occurrence.</p> - -<p>With these facts before them, the students of the peopling of this -continent were always drawn strongly to Alaska and the opposite -parts of Asia; but the distances, the difficulties of communication, -and the high costs of exploration in these far-off regions have proven -a serious hindrance to actual investigation. As a result, but little -direct, systematic, archeological or anthropological (somatological) -research has ever been carried out in these regions; though since -Bering's, Cook's, and Vancouver's opening voyages to these parts a -large amount of general, cultural, and linguistic observations on the -natives has accumulated.</p> - -<p>For these observations, which are much in need of a compilation -and critical analysis, science is indebted to the above-named captains; -to the subsequent Russian explorers, and especially to the Russian -clerics who were sent to Alaska as missionaries or priests to the -natives; to various captains, traders, agents, miners, soldiers, and -men in collateral branches of science, who came in contact with the -aborigines; to special United States Government exploratory expeditions, -with an occasional participation of the Biological Survey -and the Smithsonian Institution, such as resulted in the fine "Corwin" -reports and the highly valuable accounts of Leffingwell, Dall,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_30" id="Page_30">[Pg 30]</a></span> -Nelson, and Murdoch; to the separate pieces of scientific work by men -such as Gordon and Jennes; and to Jochelson and Bogoras of the -Jesup exploring expedition of the American Museum.</p> - -<p>As a result of all these contributions, it may be said that there has -been established a fair cultural and linguistic knowledge of the Aleut, -the Eskimo, and the Chukchee, not to speak of the Tlingit, consideration -of which seems more naturally to fall with that of the Indians -of the northwest coast.</p> - -<p>There are also numerous though often very imperfect and occasionally -rather contradictory notes on the physical status of these -peoples, and some valuable cultural and even skeletal collections were -made. Since 1912 we possess also a good series of measurements on -the St. Lawrence Island natives, together with valuable cranial material -from that locality, made, under the direction of the writer, by -Riley D. Moore, at that time aide in the Division of Physical -Anthropology in the United States National Museum.</p> - -<p>The need of a further systematic archeological and somatological -research in this important part of the world was long since felt, and -several propositions were made in this line to the National Research -Council (Hrdlička) and to the Smithsonian Institution (Hough, -Hrdlička); but nothing came of these until the early part of 1926, -when, a little money becoming available, the writer was intrusted -by the Bureau of American Ethnology with the making of an extensive -preliminary survey of Alaska. The objects of the trip were, -in brief, to ascertain as much as possible about the surviving Indians -and Eskimos; to trace all indications of old settlements and migrations; -and to collect such skeletal and archeological material as might -be of importance.</p> - -<p>The trip occupied approximately four months, from the latter -part of May to the latter part of September, affording a full season -in Alaska. It began with the inside trip from Vancouver to Juneau, -where at several of the stopping places groups of the northwest coast -Indians were observed. At Juneau examination was made of the -valuable archeological collections in the local museum. After this -followed a trip with several stops along the gulf, a railroad trip with -some stops to Fairbanks, a return trip to Nenana, a boat trip on the -Tanana to the Yukon, and then, with little boats of various sorts, a -trip with many stops for about 900 miles down the Yukon. This -in turn was followed by a side trip in Norton Sound, after which -transportation was secured to the island of St. Michael and to Nome. -From Nome, after some work in the vicinity, the revenue cutter <em>Bear</em> -took the writer to the St. Lawrence and Diomede Islands, to Cape -Wales, and thence from place to place of scientific interest up to -Barrow. On the return a number of the more important places,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_31" id="Page_31">[Pg 31]</a></span> -besides some new ones, were touched upon, while the visit to others -was prevented by the increasing storms, and the trip ended at -Unalaska.</p> - -<p>Throughout the journey, the writer received help from the Governor, -officials, missionaries, traders, and people of Alaska; from -the captain, officers, and crew of the <em>Bear</em>; and from many individuals; -for all of which cordial thanks are hereby once more rendered. -Grateful acknowledgments are especially due to the following -gentlemen: Governor George A. Parks, of Alaska; Mr. Harry G. -Watson, his secretary; Mr. Karl Thiele, Secretary for Alaska; Judge -James Wickersham, formerly Delegate from Alaska; Father A. P. -Kashevaroff, curator of the Territorial Museum and Library of -Juneau; Dr. William Chase, of Cordova; Mr. Noel W. Smith, general -manager Government railroad of Alaska; Mr. B. B. Mozee, -Indian supervisor, and Dr. J. A. Romig, of Anchorage; Prof. C. E. -Bunnell, president Alaska Agriculture College, at Fairbanks; Mr. and -Mrs. Fullerton, missionaries, at Tanana; Rev. J. W.

The -boat stopped at a number of settlements on the scenic "inside" -route—which impresses one as a much enlarged and varied trip -through the Catskills—permitting some observations on the Indians -of these parts.</p> - -<p>The main opportunity was had at Aleut Bay. Here many British -Columbia Indians were seen on the dock, belonging to several tribes. -Names of these, as pronounced to me, were unfamiliar.

A minority, only, -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_33" id="Page_33">[Pg 33]</a></span>full bloods—of the younger a large majority mixed (white blood). -The full bloods all show one marked type, of short to moderate -stature, rather short legs, huge chest and head, i. e., face. Color -near onion-brown, without luster. Indians, but modified locally. -Remind one (chest, stature, stockiness, shortness of neck and legs) -of Peruvian Indians.</p> - -<p>Indians at Prince Rupert same type; color pale brown; eyes and -nose rather small for the faces in some, in others good size. Look -good deal like some Chinese or rather some hand-laboring Chinese -and Japanese look like them.</p> - -<p>Indians at Juneau (the Auk tribe) very similar, but most mixed -with whites.</p> - -<p><em>Juneau.</em>—A week was spent at Juneau, gathering information, obtaining -letters of introduction, and making a few excursions. The -city has an excellent museum devoted to Alaskan history and archeology, -under the able curatorship of Father Andrew P. Kashevaroff, -himself a part of the history of the Territory. The archeological -collections of Alaska Indians and Eskimos are in some respects—e. g., -pottery—more comprehensive than those of any other of -our museums; but they, together with the valuable library, -are housed in a frail frame building, under great risks from both -fire and thieves. Fortunately the latter are still scarce in Alaska, -but the fire risk is great and ever present. The museum is a decided -cultural asset to Juneau.</p> - - -<h4>NOTES OF ARCHEOLOGICAL INTEREST</h4> - -<p><em>Auk Point.</em>—Thanks to Father Kashevaroff and Mr. Charles H. -Flory, the district forester, an excursion was arranged one day to -Auk Point, approximately 15 miles distant, a picturesque wooded -little promontory near which there used to be a settlement of the Auk -Indians. On the point were several burials of shamans and a chief of -the tribe (all other dead being cremated), and near the graves stood -until a short time ago a moderate-sized totem pole. Of all this -we found but bare remnants. The burials of three shamans and one -chief had been in huge boxes above ground; but they had all been -broken into and most of the contents belonging to the dead were -taken away, including the skulls. The skeletal parts of two of the -bodies and a few bones of the chief remained, however, with a few -objects the vandals had overlooked. The latter were placed in the -Juneau Museum while the bones, showing some features of interest, -were collected and sent to Washington. A large painted board near -the graves of the shamans remained, though damaged. The totem -pole, however, had been cut down the year before by a young man -from Juneau, who then severed the head, which he carried home,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_34" id="Page_34">[Pg 34]</a></span> -and left the rest on the beach, from where it was soon washed -away. Thus a group of burials, the only ones known of the once -good-sized Auk tribe, have been despoiled and their record lost to -science. And such a fate is, according to all accounts, rapidly -overtaking similar remains everywhere in southeastern Alaska.</p> - -<p><em>Rare stone lamp (?).</em>—At the museum one of the first and most -interesting objects shown the writer by Father Kashevaroff was a -large, heavy, finely sculptured oblong bowl, made of hard, dark -crystalline stone, decorated in relief on the rim and with a squatting -stone figure, cut from the same piece, near one of the ends. The -bowl looks like a ceremonial lamp, though showing no trace of -oil or carbon. Subsequently four other bowls of this same remarkable -type and workmanship were learned of, two, the best of -the lot, in the University Museum at Philadelphia; one in the -Museum of the American Indian, New York; and one, somewhat inferior -and of reddish stone, in the possession of Mr. Müller, the -trader at Kaltag, on the Yukon (later in that of Mr. Lynn Smith, -marshal at Fairbanks). The localities where the five remarkable -and high-grade specimens have been found range from the Kenai -Peninsula in southwestern Alaska to the lower Yukon. The Juneau -specimen comes from Fish Creek, near Kuik, Cook Inlet (see Descriptive -Booklet Alaska Hist. Mus., Juneau, 1922, pp. 26, 27); that -in the Heye Museum is from the same locality; the one in Philadelphia -was found in the Kenai Peninsula; while that at Kaltag came -from an old Indian site on the Kaiuh slough of the Yukon. Locally, -there is much inclination to regard these specimens as Asiatic, especially -Japanese, and a bronze Japanese Temple medal has been -found near that now at Juneau. On the other hand, a strong suggestion -of similarity to these dishes is presented by some undecorated -large stone lamps from Alaska, and by a class of pottery bowls with -a human figure perched on the rim at one end from some of the -Arkansas mounds, Mexico, and farther southward. (See Mason, -J. A. A remarkable stone lamp from Alaska. The Museum Jour., -Phila., 1928, 170-194.)</p> - -<p><em>Copper mask.</em>—Shortly before leaving Juneau I became acquainted -with Mr. Robert Simpson, manager of the "Nugget" curio shop, and -found in his possession a number of interesting specimens made in -the past by the Tlingit Indians. An outstanding piece was an old -copper mask, which was purchased for the National Museum. -Mr. Simpson obtained it years ago from a native of Yakutat and -stored it with native furs and other articles of value. It originally -belonged to a shaman of the Yakutat tribe and was said to have been -worn by him in sacrificial slave killings, the shaman with the mask -representing some mythical being. It is an exceedingly good and rare -piece of native workmanship.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_35" id="Page_35">[Pg 35]</a></span></p> - -<p><em>Copper "shield."</em>—Another interesting article secured from Mr. -Simpson is a large old shieldlike plate of beaten copper, decorated -on one side with a characteristic Tlingit engraved design. Mr. Simpson, -in a letter to Doctor Hough, dated June 26, 1926, says: "The -shield, or to speak more correctly the copper plate—for it was not -used as a shield—was the most valuable possession of the Tlingits. -They were usually valued in slaves, this one, at the last known exchange, -having been traded for three slaves. The possessor of four -or five such plates was a man of the utmost wealth. Some claim that -they got these copper plates from the early New England traders and -others that they came from the Copper River. Either is possible. -Lots of the Copper River nuggets were very large and flat and could -have readily been hammered into plate form. I bought this in the -village of Klawak on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island. I -do not know of another one around here. All of the local elderly -natives are familiar with its previous value, and when they have -wandered into my shop to sell things they always made deep obeisance -to this plate."</p> - -<p><em>Talks.</em>—While in Juneau the writer spoke before the Rotarians, -who honored him with a lunch; and later, in the auditorium of the -fine new high school, gave a public lecture on "The Peopling of -America," etc. The object of these and the many subsequent talks in -Alaska was, on the one hand, to reciprocate as far as possible the -kindness and help received on all sides, and on the other to leave -wholesome information and stimulus in things anthropological. The -audience was invariably all that a lecturer could desire, and many -were left everywhere eager for help and cooperation. The aid of -some of these men, including prospectors, miners, settlers, engineers, -foresters, and various officials, may some day prove of much value -in the search for Alaskan antiquities.</p> - -<p><em>Juneau—Seward.</em>—June 8, leave Juneau. It has been raining -every day, with one exception, and is misting now, depriving us of -a view of most of the coast. Wherever there is a glimpse of it, -however, it is seen to be mountainous, wooded below, snowy and icy -higher up, inhospitable, forbidding.</p> - -<p>June 10, arrive at Cordova, a former native and Russian settlement -of some importance. Will stay here large part of the day and -go to see about Indians, old sites, burials, and specimens, the main -hotel keeper, the assistant superintendent of the local railway, the -postmaster, the supervisor of the forests, and Dr. William Chase, -who has been connected with the work of the Biological Survey in -these regions. Mr. W. J. McDonald, the forester, takes me out some -miles into the very rugged country, where there are still plenty of -bear and mountain goat. After which Doctor Chase takes me to the -old Russian and Indian cemetery. There are many graves, mostly<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_36" id="Page_36">[Pg 36]</a></span> -Indian, but also a few whites, and even a Chinaman. Russian -crosses are still common. The older Indian part could be easily -excavated. Learn of skulls and bones on "mummy" island in Prince -William Sound.</p> - -<p><em>Indians.</em>—See quite a few. Nearly all appear more or less mixed; -color in these more or less pronounced tan with red in cheeks and -some tendency to paleness. Heads still all brachycephalic and of -only moderate height; faces broad, noses not prominent, in males -tend to large.</p> - -<p>Two adult men, evidently full-bloods—pure Indian type of the -brachycephalic form, head moderate in size, medium short, face not -very large, nose slightly or moderately convex, not prominent, but -all Indian. Color of skin submedium to near medium brown, no trace -of whitish or pink. Stature and build medium; feet rather small; -hair typical Indian, black, straight; beard sparse and short; mustache -sparse, no hair on sides of the face.</p> - -<p>The boat makes two or three more commercial and passenger -stops before reaching Seward, the main one at Valdez, the terminal -of the Richardson Trail to the interior. These stops permit us to -see some fish canneries, which are of both general and anthropological -interest. These establishments employ Japanese, Philippine, and -Chinese labor, and it was found to be quite a task to distinguish -these, and to tell them from the coast Indians. The Chinamen can -be distinguished most often, though not always, the Japanese less -so, while the Filipino usually can not be told from the Indian, even -by an expert. Here was a striking practical lesson in relationships.</p> - -<p><em>Seward—Anchorage.</em>—Seward found to be a fine little town, full -of the same good brand of people that one finds everywhere in -Alaska and who go so far to restore one's faith in humanity. It -is the terminus of the Government railroad to Fairbanks and a port -of some importance.</p> - -<p><em>Indian basketry.</em>—No Indians were seen here, though some come -occasionally. But several of the stores, including that of the Seward -Drug Co. (Mr. Elwyn Swestmann), have an unexpectedly good -supply of decorated Alaska Indian baskets. It was found later, in -fact, that the Alaskan Indians, with the Aleutians, compare well in -basketry with those of Arizona and California.</p> - -<p><em>Anchorage.</em>—June 12-13. Anchorage, on Cook's Inlet, is a good-sized -town for Alaska and the headquarters of the railroad. Here -were met some very good friends, particularly Mr. Noel W. Smith, -general manager of the railroad; Dr. J. H. Romig, formerly of the -Kuskokwim; and Mr. B. B. Mozee, the Indian supervisor. Here, at -Ellis Hall, I lectured on "The Origin and Racial Affiliations of -the Indians," and the large audience included seven male (some full<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_37" id="Page_37">[Pg 37]</a></span> -blood) and two female (mix blood) Indians—of the latter, one very -pretty, approaching a Spanish type of beauty. Near town I also -visited with a launch two small Indian fishing camps. From Doctor -Romig information was obtained about the Indians and some old -sites of the Kuskokwim; and through the kindness of Messrs. Smith -and Mozee I was enabled to visit the Indian school at Eklutna. Here -at Anchorage I also was given the first and rather rare old Indian -stone implement.</p> - -<p>The Indians at the camps included 6 full bloods—4 men, 2 women. -One of the men tested on chest. Typical full-blood results.</p> - -<p>Type of full bloods: Color slightly submedium to medium brown, -never darker; heads, subbrachycephalic to full brachycephalic, -rather small; forehead in men more or less sloping in two; face, -not large, Indian; nose tends to convex but not high. Indian in -features and behavior, but features not as pronounced as general -in the States tribes.</p> - -<p>The full bloods in town: Medium to short stature, not massive -frames, moderate-sized faces, Indian type, but not the pronounced -form; head brachycephalic; hair all black; mustache and beard -scarce, as in Indians in general; color of skin submedium brown. -Children in camp (up to about 5 years) were striking by a relatively -considerable interorbital breadth, otherwise typical Indian.</p> - -<p><em>Birch-bark dishes.</em>—At Anchorage, in several of the stores, but -particularly at one small store, were seen many nicely decorated -birch-bark dishes or receptacles. They are made by inland Indians, -are prettily decorated with colored porcupine quills, and evidently -take the place of the baskets of other tribes. It was difficult to learn -just what Indians made the best or most, though the Tanana -people were mentioned. No such fine assortment of these dishes -was seen after leaving Anchorage.</p> - -<p><em>Eklutna.</em>—Sixteen miles from Anchorage, along the railroad, is -the Indian village and school Eklutna. Mr. Smith made it possible -for me to reach this place on a freight and to be picked up later the -same day by the passenger train.</p> - -<p>At Eklutna was found an isolated but prettily located and well-kept -Indian school, with about fifty children from many parts of -southwestern Alaska. More than half of these children showed -more or less admixture of white blood, but there was a minority of -unquestionable full bloods. There were two children from Kodiak -Island and two or three southern Eskimo. The main impression -after a detailed look at the children was that, while they all showed -clear Indian affinities and some were typically Indian, yet on the -whole there was a prevalent trace of something Eskimoid in the -physiognomies—an observation that was to be repeated more than -once in other parts of Indian Alaska.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_38" id="Page_38">[Pg 38]</a></span></p> - -<p><em>Burials.</em>—At a few minutes' walk from the school at Eklutna -there is in a clearing of the forest a small Indian village, with a -late graveyard showing Russian influence. A short distance -farther, however, according to the Indians, there is an old burial -place of some magnitude, with traces of graves, although quite -obliterated.</p> - -<p><em>Eklutna—Fairbanks.</em>—Since reaching Seward the almost incessant -drizzles have ceased and the weather has been fine and pleasantly -warm. Everything is green, grass is luxuriant, and there are many -flowers.</p> - -<p>The railroad journey is a regular scenic tour, with its crowning -point a glorious view of Mount McKinley. The trains run only in the -daytime. For the night a stop is made at a railroad hotel, in a -quiet, picturesque location, at the edge of a good-sized river. They -have foxes in cages here and a tame reindeer. There are no natives -in this vicinity.</p> - -<p>There are two interesting passengers on the train, with both of -whom I became well acquainted. One is Joe Bernard, an explorer -and collector (besides his other occupations) in Alaska and Siberia. -He furnishes me with some valuable pictures and much information. -The other man is Captain Wilkins, the flier of Point Barrow fame, -who strikes me as an able and modest man.</p> - -<p>The next day, as the train stops at Nenana, I am met, thanks to a -word sent by Mr. Noel W. Smith, by Chief Thomas and a group of -his people. These behave kindly and tell me of a potlatch to be held -at Tanana "after some days," where they will visit. The chief impresses -me with his rather refined though thoroughly Indian -countenance.</p> - -<p><em>Fairbanks.</em>—Before reaching Fairbanks, the inland capital of -Alaska, I am met by Prof. C. E. Bunnell, head of the Alaska Agricultural -College. This college, located on an elevation about 4 miles -out of the city, I visit with Professor Bunnell soon after arrival, to -find there some interesting paleontological and archeological collections. -Here are fair beginnings which well deserve the good will of -the Alaskans. Unfortunately the college has not yet the means -for any substantial progress or research in these lines, and the collections -are housed in a frame building where they are in serious danger -from fire. But their presence will aid, doubtless, in the saving of -other material of similar nature from the Tanana region, and specimens -of special scientific importance will doubtless be referred to -scientific institutions outside.</p> - -<p>Fairbanks is a good-sized town, built on the wide flats of the -Tanana River. Its population, now reduced, includes some civilized -natives, most of whom, however, are mix breeds. A large petrified -mammoth tusk on the porch of one of the semi-log houses shows<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_39" id="Page_39">[Pg 39]</a></span> -that these are regions of more than ordinary biological interest. And -there is soon an occurrence which demonstrates this further. Mr. -John Buckley, the deputy marshal, takes me to an old Japanese -resident, now a rooming-house keeper, who has had a hobby of collecting -fossils, and who in the end is happy to donate to the National -Museum a fine skull of a fossil Alaskan horse, together with some -other specimens, refusing all payment. Such is the human Alaska, -or at least the most of it.</p> - -<p>Here, too, to a full hall in the library, a lecture is given on "The -Peopling of Alaska and America," after which follows a return to -Nenana to catch a steamer to the Yukon.</p> -<div class="chapter"></div> -<hr class="chap" /> - - - - -<h2>THE WRITER'S TRIP ON THE YUKON</h2> - - -<h3>TANANA—YUKON</h3> - -<p>June 17. Nenana: This is a small town on the Tanana, mostly -railroad buildings, with a hospital; there is one street of stores -(three short blocks), most of them now empty. About half a mile -off a small Indian settlement about an Episcopalian mission.</p> - -<p>Country flat on both sides of the rather large river, except for -some hills back of the right shore beyond the railroad bridge, for a -short distance. The river flats seem scarcely 3 or 4 feet above water, -overgrown with brush and a few scrubby trees, later spruce thickets. -Purple flowers (fireweed) strike the eye.</p> - -<p>No relics found at Nenana; no information concerning old sites or -abandoned villages along the stream.</p> - -<p>Physically, the Indians seen at Nenana were submedium brown, -good many still full blood, pure Indian type, brachycephalic, faces -(nose, etc.), however, of but medium prominence. Moderate to good -stature.</p> - -<p>They are all fairly "civilized," wear white men's clothing, to -which on gala occasions are added bands or collars of beadwork, and -speak more or less English. The younger men are evidently good -workers.</p> - -<p>The distance from Nenana to Tanana is given as about 190 miles -by the river.</p> - -<p>The government boat <em>Jacobs</em>, on which we shall go down the -Tanana, is a moderate-sized, shallow-bottomed stern-wheeler, and, -like all such boats on these rivers, will push a heavily laden freight -barge before it. There are about a dozen passengers, the boat -labor, a trader or two. All kindly, open. A few women—most of -both sexes of the Scandinavian type. On barge some horses, a cow, -pigs, chickens.</p> - -<p>Leave after lunch—very good, generous, and pleasant meal in a -local restaurant that would do credit to a large city; only the people<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_40" id="Page_40">[Pg 40]</a></span> -are better, more human. Meals $1, the almost universal price in -Alaska.</p> - -<p>Some quaint expressions: When anyone has been away, especially -to the States, they say he was "outside." I am an "outsider;" -show it "by my collar." Underdone bacon is "easy." To assent -they say "you bet." In a restaurant, to a decent, cheerful girl: -"May I have a little hot coffee?" "You bet!" Which bright -answer is heard so often that one finishes by being shy to ask.</p> - -<p>Dogs, of course, do not pull, but "mush." This is from the Canadian -French "marche." Dogs do not understand "go" or "go on," -only "mush."</p> - -<p>Extensive flats. Below Nenana these flats, plainly recent alluvial, -are said to extend up to 60 miles to the left (southwestward) and to -20 miles to the right. As one passes nearer they are seen to range -from 3 up to about 8 feet above the level of the river at this stage -of water.</p> - -<p>Cabins and fishing camps along the river, mostly flimsy structures, -with a few tents. Indians in some. The Indians are said by the -whites to be pretty lazy, living from day to day; yet they seem -industrious enough in their own camps and in their own way.</p> - -<p>Storage or caches, little houses on stilts. Dog houses in rows. -Curious wheel fish traps, revolving like hay or wheat lifting machines, -run by the current. They scoop out the fish and let them fall -into a box, from which the fisherman collects them twice a day. It -is the laziest fishing that could be devised. The contraption is said -to come from the northwest coast, but has become one of the characteristic -parts of the scenery along the Tanana and the Yukon. -An Indian camp—stacks of cordwood—canoes.</p> - -<p>The day is sunny, moderately warm and rather dry—about as a -warm, dry, fall day with us. The river shows bars, with caught -driftwood; also considerable floating wood. There are seagulls, -said to destroy young ducks and geese and water birds' eggs. -Shores now wooded, mainly poplar, not large. Farther back and -farther down, spruce.</p> - -<p>The river averages about 200 to 300 yards but differs much in -places and there are numerous side channels (sloughs). It is crooked; -many bends. The current is quite marked, stated to run 4 to 6 miles -an hour. The water is charged with grayish-brown silt, part from -glaciers higher above, part from banks that are being "cut." The -banks are entirely silt, no trace of gravel or stone. Indian camps -getting very scarce. Boat making good time, but now and then requires -careful manipulation, with its big, heavy barge in front. Once -driven to shore, but no damage, and after some effort gets away -again. No trouble yet from mosquitoes, but there are some horseflies.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_41" id="Page_41">[Pg 41]</a></span></p> - -<p>Pass a large camp—a Finn married to a squaw, and three or four -Indian families—all snug in a clearing of the fresh-looking woods -on the bank of the river.</p> - -<p>Bend after bend in the stream, and boat has to follow them all, -and more, for the current and deeper water are now near this bank -and again at the opposite bank.</p> - -<p>The water in many places is undermining the bank, exposing -frozen strata of silt. The top often falls in without breaking, with -trees and all, and it then looks like heavy, ragged mats hanging over -the bank, with green trees or bushes dipping into the water, and perhaps -a clump of wild roses projecting from the sward. There are -many low bushes of wild roses in this country, pink and red kinds, -now blooming. Also many small bushes of wild berries—cranberries -(low and high), raspberries, dewberries or blueberries.</p> - -<p>Meat is imported even to here from Seattle, and carried far down -the Yukon. When received they place it in a "cellar" or hole dug -down to the frozen ground and place the meat there—a natural and -thoroughly efficient refrigerator.</p> - -<p>Past Old Minto, a little Indian village, a few little log houses in -a row facing the river, with a wheel fish trap in front (pl. 1, <em>a</em>). -Later a few Indian houses and a "road house" with a store at Tolovana. -Most Indians there (and elsewhere here) died of the "flu" -in 1918, the bodies being left and later buried by the Government. -A few isolated little Indian camps.</p> - -<p>The boat ties to trees along the banks. No docks or anything of -that nature. Not many mosquitoes yet, more horseflies, which, however, -do not bother man very much.</p> - -<p>After reaching Hot Springs (right bank), there is seen a long -range of more or less forested, fairly steep-sloped hills along the -right bank, coming right down to the water's edge for miles, with -bush and forested flats opposite. At the end of one of the ravines -with a little stream, right on the bank, remnants of a little glacier -melting very slowly in the sun. Strange contrast, ice and green -touching. Boat making good time along the hills.</p> - -<p>June 18. Hardly any sleep. Sun set after 10 and rose about 2.30, -with no more than dusk between. Then heat in the cabin, and above -all the noises. The boat stuck five hours on a bar and there were all -sorts of jerks and shudders and calls.</p> - -<p>Flats again on both sides, but hills beyond, with just one little -spot of snow. Will be warm day again.</p> - - -<h4>ANCIENT MAN</h4> - -<p>Prospects of old remains of man all along the river are slight if -any. Old silt flats have doubtless been mostly washed away (as now) -and rebuilt. Only on the older parts, now often far from water,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_42" id="Page_42">[Pg 42]</a></span> -could anything remain and there it is all a jungle of forest with undergrowth, -with all surface traces absent (no stone, no shell), and no -one here to find things accidentally. As to the hills that approach -the river, the slopes (shales, overlain by what looks like stratified -mud and silt rock) are mostly of recent exposure, and have doubtless -been receding slowly through erosion, so that the bank line along -them is not old; and their valleys are few, narrow, and were higher -formerly as well as more extended toward where the river flowed -then. The only hopeful spot is about Hot Springs, where fossil -animal remains are said to exist, but here nothing as yet has been -noted suggesting ancient man.</p> - -<p>June 18, 4 p. m. River getting broader. Some low dunes. In -distance a range of bluish hills before us—the hills along the Yukon. -Boat meandering from side to side. Every now and then a necessary -steam blow-out of mud, or a short whistle, hurry of a man over the -top of the barge and of two half-breeds along its side to the prow -to test, with long pointed and graduated poles, the depth of the -water, calling it out to the captain. The calls range from "no -bottom" to "4 feet," at the latter of which the boat begins to touch -and back water.</p> - -<p>5 p. m. Arrived at Tanana, a cheerful looking town, extending -over about half a mile along the right bank of the Yukon, here -about 20 feet high; but now, with the gold rush over, rather "slack" -on both business and population, as are all other Yukon towns. -Somewhat disappointed with the Yukon—not as majestic here as -expected. See storekeeper—introduced by captain. Hear good news. -The Indians have a big potlatch at the mission, 2 miles above. -Tanana Indians expected. And there will be many in attendance. -Rumors of this potlatch were heard before, but this was the first -definite information. Get on a little motor boat with Indians who -were making some purchases, and go to the St. Thomas Episcopal -Mission, Mr. Fullerton in charge.</p> - - -<h4>THE INDIANS AT TANANA</h4> - -<p>The mission above Tanana is beautifully located on the elevated -right Yukon bank, facing Nuklukhayet island and point, the latter, -according to old reports, an old trading and meeting spot of the -Kuchin tribes, and the confluence of the Tanana with the Yukon. -The mission house, located on rising ground, the wooden church -lower down, the cemetery a bit farther up, and the Indian village a -bit farther downstream, with their colors and that of the luxuriant -vegetation, form a picturesque cluster.</p> - -<p>I am kindly received by Mr. Fullerton and his wife and given -accommodation in their house. On the part of the good-sized In<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_43" id="Page_43">[Pg 43]</a></span>dian -village everything is life and bustle and we soon are over. -Motor launches owned and operated by the Indians in the river; -dogs, scores of the big, half-wild, noisy sled dogs tied to stakes along -the slope of the bank, fighting stray ones, barking in whole outbursts, -feeding on smelly fish, or digging cooling holes into the bank -in which they hide most of the body from the warm rays of the -sun; and many Indians, about 400 in all, in whole families, in houses, -large canvas tents, cooking, eating, visiting—a busy multitude, but -with white man's clothes, utensils, etc., not nearly so interesting -as a group of more primitive Indians would be.</p> - -<p>Walk, visit, talk, and observe. Note many mix-bloods, especially -among the younger ones and the children. Among the full bloods, -many, about one-half, with features reminding more or less of Eskimoid; -but a few typically Indian, i. e., like most of the States -Indians.</p> - -<p>Medium stature, substantial but not massive build, quite a few of -the older women stout. Color of full bloods generally near medium -brown, features regular Indian but not exaggerated, noses rather -low especially in upper half, eyes and hair Indian. Epicanthus -not excessive in children, absent in adults (traces in younger women), -eyes not markedly oblique. Behavior, Indian.</p> - -<p>The more pronounced Eskimoids have flatter and longer faces, -more oblique eyes, and more marked epicanthus. They should come, -it would seem, from Eskimo admixture. The Tanana Indians -(Nenana) did not, so far as seen, show such physiognomies.</p> - -<p>Toward evening, and especially after supper, natives sing and -dance. Songs of Indian characteristics, and yet different from those -in south; some more expressive. A song "for dead mother," very -sad, affects some to crying aloud (a woman, a man). A wash song—a -row of women and even some men imitating, standing in a row, the -movements in washing, while others sing; humorous. A dance in a -line, curving to a circle, of a more typical Indian character. Late -at night, a war dance, with much supple contortion. Also other -songs and dances up to 2.30 a. m.—heard in bed.</p> - -<p>June 19. With dogs barking and whining and Indians singing, got -little rest. All Indians sleep until afternoon. No chance of doing -anything, so go down to town to get instruments and blanks. Find -that storekeeper has an old stone ax—sells it to me for $1. Also -tells of a farmer who has one—go there with the boat and obtain -it as a gift; told of another one—a Finn—has two, sells them for $1. -Come from the gravelly bank of the river or are dug out in gardening. -There may well have been old settlements in this favorable -location. After return, visit some tents to see sick. Much sickness—eyes, -tuberculosis—now and then probably syphilis.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_44" id="Page_44">[Pg 44]</a></span></p> - -<p>Indians relatively civilized, more than expected, and most speak -tolerable English. Have flags, guns, sleep in some cases on iron -beds and under mosquito netting, smoke cigarettes and cigars; and -even play fiddles. Of course some have also learned the white man's -cupidity and vices.</p> - -<p>This day I met with something unexpected, due to perversity of -mix-breed nature. Seeing so many Indians present, and after a -good reception by them the evening preceding, I thought of utilizing -the occasion for taking some measurements. I therefore mentioned -the thing to some of the head men shortly after my arrival -and receiving what seemed assent, went to-day to Tanana to -get my instruments. On coming back and finding a few of the old -men, who were quite friendly, I invited them into the "kashim" -(community house) and began to question them on old sites, etc., -when in came, probably somewhat under the influence of liquor, -a mix-breed to whom I had been introduced the night before and -who at that time acted quite civilly, but now coming forward began -rather loudly and offensively to question about what I wanted here -and about authority, giving me to understand at last quite plainly -that he wanted to "be paid" if I was to take any measurements. -He claimed to be one of the "chiefs," and I would not be allowed -to do anything without his help. His harangue quite disturbed -the other Indians, who evidently were both ashamed and afraid -of the fellow. And as I would not be coerced into employing and -paying him, and there being no one, as I learned, of supreme authority, -the "chief" of these Indians being little more than a figurehead, -it was decided to give up the attempt at measurements. The rest -of the visit was therefore given to further observations and to the -witnessing of the potlatch. Chief Joseph (pl. 14), nominally the -head of these Yukon Indians, expressed his sorrow and tried to -make amends by offering himself.</p> - -<p>The potlatch was evidently in the main a social gathering of -the Yukon Indians, with the Tanana natives as visitors. It consisted -mainly of eating, singing, and dancing, to be terminated -by a big "give-away." This latter was witnessed. It proved a -disappointing and rather senseless affair. The whole transaction -consists in the buying and gathering, and on this occasion giving -away, of all sorts of objects, by some one, or several, who have lost -a husband, wife, mother, etc., during the preceding year. The possessions -of the deceased are included in this and doubtless often -transmit disease. All the color of the observance is now gone. -The goods—blankets, clothing, fabrics, guns, and many other objects, -even pieces of furniture, trunks, or stoves—are gathered in -the open and when the time comes are one after another selected<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_45" id="Page_45">[Pg 45]</a></span> -by those dispensing and brought to this or that man or woman of -those who have gathered around. No song, no ceremony, no talks, -no thanking, no "wake" following. Just a poor shadow of something -that formerly may have been a tragic, memorable, and meaning -occasion.</p> - -<p>Returned to Tanana near 10 p. m. and found lodging with a storekeeper -who kept a "hotel." Got a big room, big bed, and when -store closed was alone in the house, the storekeeper sleeping elsewhere.</p> - -<p>June 20. But, Alaska was evidently not made for sleepers. Had -not a wink until after 3 a. m.—daylight, people talking loud and -walking on the board walk outside, and heard so clearly in my -room—loud-laughing girls, the dogs, and at last another boat with -its siren; and every now and then a singing mosquito trying to get -at me through even the small opening left under the sheet for -breathing—there being no netting. Finally doze off, to wake near -9 a. m., but everything closed, deadlike. However, go to a little -frame house for breakfast, and in waiting until it is made find myself -with two elderly men who go to-day down the river with their -boats. One is a former store clerk, etc., and now an "optician"—peddles -eyeglasses down the river; the other was a prospector, miner, -and blacksmith, now an itinerant "jeweler" and a reputed "hootch" -peddler. As the latter—otherwise a pretty good fellow—has a -good-sized though old boat, arrange to go down with him. See the -marshal, storekeeper, settle with my hotel man (had to go at 11 to -awake him), and ready to start.</p> - -<p>The outfit is largely homemade, not imposing, old, unpainted, and -unfit for the rough—but it could be worse. It consists of a scow, -a low, flat-bottomed boat, partly covered with canvas roof on birch -hoops, in which Peake (the owner) carries fresh meat to some one, -a stove, dishes, bedding, and many other things; and the motor boat -proper, in which there is little room except for the machine and its -tender. The latter sits on a soap box; I, on a seat extemporized from -a cylindrical piece of firewood with a little board across it, with my -two boxes and bedding within easy reach. Sit in front of the scow, -except when driven back by spray. But our motor works and so we -start quite well at some time after 11. The arrangement is to stop at -every white man's camp or settlement down to Ruby. I could have -gone on a better boat with its owner, but they charge here $15 a day, -with "keep," and twice the amount for the return of the man and -the boat, which is beyond my resources.</p> - -<p>Tanana—Ruby. The river is clearer than the Tanana, and much -broader. It is a great fine stream and its shores, while mostly still -low on the left, on the right rise here and there into moderate loess<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_46" id="Page_46">[Pg 46]</a></span> -bluffs, far beyond which are seen higher elevations and bluish forested -mountains. All covered with poplar and spruce.</p> - -<p>2.15 p. m. Wind has so increased that the scow bumps and squeaks -and there is danger of opening its seams. Therefore side to the -beach and make lunch—a roast of fat pork, over-salted, canned -spinach, dry bread, and black coffee. All on a simple, old, but efficient -little stove in the boat. Our companion, the oculist, rides not -with us but in a nice little green canoe with a plaything of a gasoline -motor fastened to the backboard, but we all eat and sleep together.</p> - -<p>But a few small Indian camps seen, and no white man's house. -Soon after lunch, however, approach "The Old Station," where -there are a few Indian houses, and later a white man's place (Burchell's). -Stop at the latter. Learn that we are 20 miles from -Tanana and on a 5-mile-long channel. There are here 15 to 40 feet -high loess-like (silt) bluffs with a flat on the top, which latter -was from far back one of the most important sites of the Indians -of these regions. Mr. Burchell and his partner kindly take me back, -with their better boat, to the main old site. Many old graves there, -a few still marked. Traces of dugouts (birch-bark lined), houses, -caches, etc., from Burchell's place to old main site. Important -place that deserves to be thoroughly excavated, though this will -entail no little work. Site was of the choicest, dominant, healthy. -Connects by a trail, still traceable, with the Koyukuk region.</p> - -<p>There are said to be no traces of pottery in any of these parts. -But average to very large stone axes are washed out occasionally -from the banks, and other articles are dug out (long ivory spear, -bone scraper, etc.). Promise of bones, etc., by Mr. Burchell.</p> - -<p>One hundred miles more to Ruby. Near 8 p. m. start again—sun -still high, little wind—endeavor to get to the "bone yard," a great -bank bearing fossils. Fine clean scenery, flat on left, flat to elevated -with grey-blue mountainous beyond on right. Water now calm and -we make good progress. Very few camps—dogs on the beach, fish-drying -racks a little farther, then a little log cabin and perhaps a -tent, with somewhere near by in the river the inevitable fish wheel, -turning slowly with the current.</p> - -<p>Had supper at Burchell's; white fish, boiled potato, coffee, some -canned greens.</p> - -<p>Scenery in spots precious, virginal, flat at the river, elevated behind, -foreground covered by the lighter green of poplars and birches, -with upright, somber, dark spruce behind. Sun on the right, half -moon on the left, and river like a big glassy lake, just rippling a -little here and there. Cooler—need a coat. On right, getting -gradually nearer the mountains.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_47" id="Page_47">[Pg 47]</a></span></p> - -<p>Near 10 p. m. Sun still above horizon. On left a long (several -miles), mostly wooded, but here and there denuded, palisade-like -bank, apparently 200-400 feet high—the "graveyard."</p> - -<p>Monday, June 21. Just at sunset last night—after 10 o'clock—came -to the "bone yard" bank—a long curving line of loess bluffs -100 to 300 feet high, steep right to water's edge, riven by many ravines. -Lowest third (approximately) light compact loess; then a -thick layer of river sand (stratified more or less) and small gravel, -then from one-third to nearly two-fifths of darker loess. In spots -quite dark, frozen, but on surface melting, "running," also tumbling -in smaller or larger masses. Wherever darker there emanates from -it and spreads far out over the river a decided mummy-like smell. -Too late to photograph from boat, and no other place available. -Also impracticable to explore with any detail—would take several -days and be a difficult work. The bluffs become gradually lower -downstream. No bones seen from boat, but mostly were not near -enough to discern. A remarkable formation, in many ways, and -in need of masterly study as well as description.</p> - -<p>Night on a low gravelly and pebbly beach. Many mosquitoes. -Mosquito netting found bad—sides too short (gave directions, but -they were disregarded) and mesh not small enough. In a short time -impossible to stay under. Supplemented by old netting of Mr. -Peake, who will sleep under his canvas in the boat; but the old dirty -net has holes in it and the mosquitoes keep on coming through the -two. Fighting them until some time after midnight, then under all -my things—netting, blanket, clothes—find some rest, sleeping until -4.30 a. m. After that—full day, of course—sleep impossible. The -"optician," who slept well under proper Alaska netting, gets up, -wakes my man; we both get up, shake, roll up bedding, have a cat-wash, -then breakfast, and at 6.30 off once more along the beautiful -but not hospitable river.</p> - -<p>Inquiry at a local white man's cabin about fossils and Indian -things negative—has paid no attention, and fossil bones that he -sometimes comes across generally not in good state of preservation.</p> - -<p>Right bank now hilly, with greater hills and then mountains behind. -Warm, river smooth, just a light breeze. How puny we are -in all this greatness.</p> - -<p>A lot of trouble develops with the engine to-day—bad pump. -Will not get to Ruby until evening. Meat, on which I must sit -occasionally, begins to smell, and there are numerous horseflies, -probably attracted by the smell.</p> - -<p>Four p. m. Visit Kokrines, on a high bank, native village, cemetery. -Photograph some natives, are good natured, talk pidgin English. -Clearly considerable old Eskimo admixture, but the substratum<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_48" id="Page_48">[Pg 48]</a></span> -and main portion is Indian. All kind and cheerful here, glad to -have pictures taken. Only white man is a "road-house" keeper; -i. e., storekeeper. Store, however, poorly stocked, probably in all not -over $200 worth of goods. "Optician," who is hoggish, has headache, -but eats and drinks all he can nevertheless. "Jeweler" repaired -his pump, and so we are once more on the way—35 miles more -to Ruby. No trace of any relics at Kokrines.</p> - -<p>River now a mile wide, with many "slews" (side channels, -sloughs), and many low, flat, forested islands. Mountains to right, -higher, traces of snow. Smoke wall from forest fire advancing from -the west—now also smell. Islands beautiful, fresh colors and clean—light -grass on border, then green and grayish poplars, birches, and -alder, from among which rise the blackish green spruces. Little -native fishing camps a mile or two apart, right bank—on left wilderness -of flats, as usual.</p> - -<p>A few miles above Ruby conditions change—high bluffs (rocky) -now on left, flat on right side. Ruby, from a distance and after the -loneliness of the day, looks quite a little town on the left bank, at -the base of the higher ground.</p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">Ruby</span></h3> - -<p>June 22-23. Our approach to Ruby was very modest. With -Mr. Peake paid off, we just sided against and tied to the bank, on -which are the lowest houses of the village, and carried out my boxes -and bedding on the bank. There two or three men were idly watching -our arrival. I asked about the local marshal, to whom I had a -note, and had my things carried to the combined post office and hotel. -In almost no time I meet Mr. Thomas H. Long, the marshal, become -acquainted with the people about, tell my mission, and begin to collect. -It does not take long for one properly introduced to be thoroughly -and warmly at home in Alaska. The first specimen I get is a -fine fossilized mammoth molar. It is brought to me by Albert -Verkinik, who was about to depart for some mines, but went back to -get the tooth. And he asks no compensation.</p> - -<p>The parts of two days spent at Ruby were quite profitable. Visiting, -and in the jail, were several Indians who could be noted and -photographed. At the old jail there were two skulls of Indians -that were donated. The teacher had two of the characteristic Yukon -two-grooved axes. The postmaster, Mr. H. E. Clarke, gave a collection -of fresh animal skulls. Mr. Louis Pilback donated two mammoth -molars, found 2 miles up the Yukon on Little Melozey Creek, -about 8 feet deep, in the muck right over the gravel. Mrs. Monica -Silas brought me a good old stone knife. Several of the men took -me down to the beach to see a damaged fossil elephant skull, also to<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_49" id="Page_49">[Pg 49]</a></span> -see some fossiliferous workings above the town. Another party took -me a few miles up and across the river to see an Indian camp and -near by some old burials. The collections were sent through parcel -post; and the evening before departure I gave a lecture to an attentive -and respectful audience.</p> - -<p>The town itself, however, is now a mere damaged and crumbling -shell of what it was in the heyday of its glory, during the gold rush. -Many of the frame dwellings and stores are empty; the board sidewalks -are rickety and with big holes; and in the air is a general lack -of impetus.</p> - -<p>June 23. Failing to find another suitable boat, I once more made -an arrangement to go farther down the river with Mr. Peake and -his friend. Peake's boat and scow were not much to look at, and -the troubles with the engine, and with its owner's raw swearing at -times, were somewhat trying; but for my purpose the outfit did well -enough, and I was treated very well and given all needed opportunity -to examine what was of importance on the banks. I was -quite sorry when eventually we had to part company, and I know -Mr. Peake has not forgotten my quest, for I heard of his talking -about it to parties, with whom I was very glad to come in contact, -on the Kuskokwim.</p> - -<p>June 23. The sunny evening of my second busy day at Ruby, -near 10 p. m., Peake unexpectedly comes to the hotel to tell me he -will be ready to start to-night, on account of quiet water. His -wash "is being ironed" and will be ready soon. The marshal comes -in, calls the prisoners to take down my baggage, and at 10.15, after -true, hearty good-byes, I am once more in the old scow. Then Peake -goes for his wash, with an Indian woman, and does not come until -near 11. River peaceful, sun shortly set, sky somewhat cloudy, forest -fire on opposite shore below still smoking a great deal. Leaving -good people at Ruby, who promise to help in the future. It is -getting much cooler after a pretty warm day. Will lie on the hard -boxes and try to get a little sleep.</p> - -<p>Thursday, June 24. We went long into the night, then stopped -at a lone cabin. Up timely, but slow start—it is 10.10 a. m. before -we go. The time gained at night lost now—bad habits. Breeze up -the river, occasionally strong, but not severe.</p> - -<p>The cabin was the "Dutchman's," or Meyer's. He came out at -1 a. m. to meet us, at the bark of his big dogs, a good-hearted, -weather-seared prospector, fisherman, and trapper of about 40, alone -with his huskies. Asked me into his little log hut, prepared a place -for my bedding on a frame, burned powder against the mosquitoes, -brought out from cool "cellar" a bottle of root beer he brews, and -then we went to sleep. But dogs kept waking us and Meyer went<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_50" id="Page_50">[Pg 50]</a></span> -out several times to quiet them. Fall asleep at 3.20 and oblivious -until near 7. Meyer forces on me six bottles of root beer, I leave -him some prescriptions, and taking my bed roll we go down to the -boat. My men still sleeping, as I expected. And then slow awakening, -breakfast, and late starting.</p> - -<p>Meyer never saw any Indian bones or stones, but promises cheerfully -to watch for them hereafter and to make inquiries. Of course, -he also, like so many in these lands, tells of a "prospect" of a gold -find, and is quite confident he'll "make good." As usual, also, it -is a "lead" that was "lost" and he believes he has found it. And -all the time the gold is inside, not outside, of these hunters of the -yellow star.</p> - -<p>Hills on the right again; flat islands, banks, etc., on the left. -Meyer's is 18 miles down from Ruby, right bank. About 5 miles -farther down on the slopes of the right bank is a pretty little Indian -graveyard (pl. 1, <em>b</em>), and a little lower down there are three -now empty Indian huts.</p> - -<p>Hills and mountains seen also now beyond the wide flats of the -left bank. The hills on right, along which we pass, are more or less -forested, but often just bushy and grassy. They rise to about 600 -to 700 feet and the slopes are seldom steep. Along their base there -are many elevated platforms, low swells, and nooks, that could have -served of old—as they serve here and there now—for native habitation, -though only few could have accommodated larger villages.</p> - -<p>Pass an Indian camp—the inevitable staked dogs; a swimming -boy—first being seen bathing in the open.</p> - -<p>Whiskey Creek next. Sixty-two dogs, all along the bank, and -each one-half or more in his own cooling hole; holes they dig down -to near the frozen ground. A settler, and two Indians—a photograph. -No relics or bones now, but will watch; promise also to save -some animal skulls, etc.</p> - -<p>Twelve o'clock. Off again. Day better now, less squally, warm.</p> - -<p>Hills above and below lower and earthy—loess, at least much of -it. The right shore is all along sunnier, higher, more beautiful, and -more open to wind (less mosquitoes). These are the reasons, doubtless, -why it was of old and is still the favored side for habitations -by natives as well as whites.</p> - -<p>Just before reaching "Old Lowden," overtaken by a rather crazily -driven small motor boat with four young Indians, who hand us a -crude message for the storekeeper at Galena, telling him that a baby -in the camp is to die to-night. I offer to see the baby. Find a boy -infant about one year or a little over, ill evidently with bronchitis. -Father and mother, each about 30, sit over it brooding in dumb -grief, each on one side. Respond not to my presence, and barely so -to my questions. And when I begin to tell to the fellow who inter<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_51" id="Page_51">[Pg 51]</a></span>prets -and is some relative that the baby need not die, and what to -do—I note that he is somewhat under the influence of liquor and a -little flushed—to my dismay he begins to rant against me as a doctor -and against the Government, and wants me perforce, seemingly, to -say that the child is going to die and die to-night. There are two -guns around and I almost anticipate his catching hold of one. The -gist of the piecemeal talk is that they believe I am a Government -doctor, who ought to stay four or five days with them and take over -the child's treatment, and yet the fellow insists that the child will -die before next morning. I do not know what they would say or -do to the doctor if he undertook to stay and the child died—or if it -recovered. It is dismal. They have the idea that the "Government" -is obliged to do all sorts of things for them, without being clear -just what, and that it does not do them. They believe, and try to say -so, that I am sent and paid by the Government to treat them. -Probably they have heard about the Government medical party that -is to examine conditions along the river this summer, and think that -I do not want to do or give what is necessary. I give all the possible -advice, but there is plainly no inclination to follow it. I offer -some medicine; they sneer at medicine. Even the father says he does -not understand it or want it. They are all surly and in a dangerous, -stupid mood. So there is nothing left but to go away as well as -one may.</p> - -<p>On way down the bank a woman is seen cleaning and cutting -fish—knife steel, with wood or ivory handle, of the Chinese and -Eskimo type. A porcupine, bloated, and with flies and maggots on -it already about the nose, mouth, and eyes, lies next to the woman, -and its turn will probably come next after the fish.</p> - -<p>Have modest lunch—canned pears, a bit of cold bacon left from -morning, a bit of cheese, and coffee; and start once more onward. -So much beauty here, and such human discord.</p> - -<p>3.30 p. m. Passing on right bank a line of bluffs, wholly of loess, -about 200 feet high and approximately 4 miles long, and as if shaven -with knife from top to water's edge. After that flats only on both -sides, with but one hill far ahead of us.</p> - -<p>Motor trouble again—same old pump; but not for long; in half -an hour on again. A steamer upward passes us—like a stranger, and -power.</p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">Galena</span></h3> - -<p>A little town (village), on a flat promontory. An old consumptive -storekeeper—no knowledge of any old implements or skeletal -remains. Lowden village moved here due to mine opposite and better -site. About 10 Indian houses here; inhabitants now mostly in fishing -camps.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_52" id="Page_52">[Pg 52]</a></span></p> - -<p>From Galena down, low shores and islands as on the Tanana, as -far as can be seen, with mountains, grayish blue, in far distance -(and only occasional glimpses). River never less than three-fourths -of a mile and sometimes together with its sloughs and islands several -miles broad. Some geese; occasional rabbit seen on land; otherwise -but little life. First gulls.</p> - -<p>The Indians at Ruby and Galena show here and there an Eskimoid -type, with the younger nearly all mix bloods (with whites). Full -bloods of same type as all along the river, brachycephalic, low to -moderate high vault of head, moderate to medium (rarely above) -stature, medium brown, noses not prominent, concavo-convex, moderately -convex or nearly straight, Indian cast of the face, but quite a -few more or less Eskimoid. Not very bright.</p> - -<p>Sit in the bottom of the scow, in front, before the stove and make -notes. When we stop, jump out to tie the boat; when leaving, push -it off. Getting sunburnt dark. Forgetting once again that I have -a stomach or any other organ. Only sleep, never fully, much less -than ought to; but even that is somehow much more bearable here -than it would be at home.</p> - -<p>6.45 p. m. Suddenly, after a turn, confronted with a steep rocky -promontory about 500 feet high—stratified mud rocks. On side, -high above, a tall white cross; learn later an Indian murdered a -bishop here. A little farther, on a flat below the slope, a small settlement. -A remarkable landmark, known as the Bishop's Rock. Afterwards -again flats, but some more elevated than before to the left. -River like a great looking-glass. Same character of vegetation and -colors as farther above, but details varied.</p> - -<p>At Ruby had made a genuine, effective, Alaska mosquito netting, -and so now feel quite independent of the pest; also have two bottles -of mosquito oil, which helps. Fortunately on the water we are not -bothered.</p> - -<p>Toward night reach Koyukuk River, and later on, Koyukuk village, -a pleasant row of houses, white and native, on a high bank. Here, -at last, pass one good night, sleeping under good mosquito netting -in the house and on the bed of an Italian trader. Also had good supper -of salmon, and good breakfast of bacon and eggs, and so feel -rested and strong.</p> - -<p>Friday, June 25. But in the morning the sky is overcast and every -now and then there is a loose shower. Of course my boon companions -are not ready again until long after 9 o'clock, and then the engine will -not go again, so a longer delay. They were inclined, in fact, to -"lay over," but I urged them on. But they are determined if it rains -a bit more to "tie to" somewhere. Fortunately there is no wind. -About 3 miles below Koyukuk and its flats, the high bluffs with<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_53" id="Page_53">[Pg 53]</a></span> -steep more or less shaved-like barren slopes recommence. A gloomy -day.</p> - -<p>About 7 miles down, after a large rocky promontory, a small graveyard -on the side of a hill, with a little native camp about a third of a -mile beyond.</p> - -<p>10.45 a. m. Beautiful wooded great hills, 400 to 800 feet high, all -along the right bank again, with large <strong>V</strong>-shaped valleys between. A -fine, rounded, slightly more than usually elevated island ahead. Left -banks flat.</p> - -<p>Sun coming out a little; cool, but not unpleasant. No more -showers, river smooth, boat making time. Blue hazy mountains far -to the left front.</p> - -<p>Hills to right rocky, strata horizontal to warped, mud rocks, broad -banks of sandy, gravelly or mucky materials, not consolidated, between -hard strata.</p> - -<p>Now and then a small Indian camp, usually two or three tents, -Indians, dogs, boats; some drying fish (not much).</p> - -<p>11.00 a. m. Another isolated little graveyard, right slope, near an -old camp.</p> - -<p>There is no possibility now of excavating any of these graveyards, for -the Indians are in unpleasant disposition toward the Government for -various reasons. But such a place as that near Burchell's could be -excavated as soon as conditions improve. Also that above Ruby and -another opposite and just below Ruby. There are no longer any -superstructures left at these (or but traces), and the graves, as seen -above Ruby, are near (within 2 feet of) the surface.</p> - -<p>No trace or indication of anything older than the double-grooved -ax culture has thus far been seen anywhere in the valley; and large -stretches of present banks are quite barren.</p> - -<p>As we approach Nulato the horizon before us becomes hilly and -mountainous. The sun is now fully out and its warmth is very -pleasant. Pass an Indian woman paddling a canoe; later an Indian -family going upstream in a motor boat. Most of these Indians -possess a motor boat of some sort, and know how to run it, though -it is not in their nature to be overcareful.</p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">Nulato</span><br /> - -(Pl. 1, <em>b</em>)</h3> - -<p>Arrive midday. Quite a village, as usual along the water front -on a high bank. Large fancy modern surface burial ground with -brightly painted boxes and flying flags on a hill to the right. Met -by local marshal and doctor; my things are taken to a little hospital. -Natives here have poor reputation, but now said to be better. Boys -nearly all mix bloods. Several men and women show Eskimo type,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_54" id="Page_54">[Pg 54]</a></span> -but majority are Indian to somewhat Eskimoid. Soon find they are -not very well disposed—want pay for everything, and much pay. -Have a few specimens, but to obtain anything from them is difficult. -Have been spoiled.</p> - -<p>A visit with the marshal to the site of old Nulato on the proximate -point; nothing there, just a rabbit's skull and a lot of mosquitoes. -Photograph old graveyard (that of old Nulato), on the -distal point beyond the creek.</p> - -<p>Mr. Steinhauser, trader, of Czech descent, helpful and kind. But -nothing further to do here. Steamer that was to be here to-night -or to-morrow will not arrive, just learned, until Tuesday (this is -Friday); and so must engage a little gasoline boat to the next station, -Kaltag, 40 miles down the river.</p> - -<p>Sleep under my new netting in the hospital. In the morning, after -parting with doctor and marshal, start 8.30 a. m. Boat little, shaky, -run by a half-breed boy of about 18. My old scow with Peake and -his companion will stay a day longer. Partly cloudy, warm.</p> - -<p>Pass flats, and come again to similar shaved-off bluffs like yesterday. -We are now running close to the shore so that I can see -everything. Flowers, but not many or many varieties.</p> - -<p>9.50 a. m. Pass (about 8 miles from Nulato) a few burials (old -boxes) on right slope. (Pl. 1, <em>c</em>.) Indian camp about one-half -mile farther, and a few old abandoned huts and caches.</p> - -<p>Everything on and along the river about the same as yesterday, -except in little details. Sky clouded; light clouds, however. The -boy with me has had good schooling (for a native) and is a good -informer. But there is little of archeological or anthropological -interest hereabouts. (Pl. 2, <em>a</em>.)</p> - -<p>12.10 p. m. Another rounded island ahead of us; far beyond it -grayish-blue hills and mountains. Six miles more to Kaltag. But -little life here—a few small birds, a lone robin, a lone gull.</p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">Kaltag</span></h3> - -<p>1.00 p. m. Kaltag in view—a small modern village on right bank, -less than half the size of Nulato; a nearly compact row of log and -plank houses. Nothing of any special interest seen from distance, -and but little after landing. The old village used to be somewhat -higher up the river.</p> - -<p>There is an old abandoned site also just opposite the present -Kaltag. Another site, "Klenkakaiuh," is, I am told, in the Kaiuh -slough south of Kaltag, in a straight line about 10 miles, but no one -there; and several other old villages in that region along that -slough—same Indians as those of Kaltag. All of Kaltag go there -on occasions, but do not live there permanently any more.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 700px;"> -<div class="caption"><p><span class="bureau">BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY</span> <span class="plate">FORTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT PLATE 1</span><br /></p> -</div> -<img src="images/plate_1a.jpg" width="700" height="517" alt="" /> -<div class="caption"><p><em>a</em>, "Old Minto" on the Tanana.

Meet an old Indian (Eskimo type) paddling a birch-bark -canoe, said to be the only canoe of that sort now on the Yukon. -About three-fourths of a mile above the village see caved bank and -find a skull and bones—"split" old burial of a woman.</p> - -<p>A canoe coming, so we all go farther up the beach, pretending to -examine stones. It is only the boy who brought me, however, going -home with some planks, and he grins knowingly.</p> - -<p>After that we locate three exposed coffins, two undisturbed and -covered with sod. These two, for fear of irritating the natives, are -left. But the third is wrapped only in birch bark. It was a powerful -woman. With her a bone tool and a white man's spoon. With -the burial that had tumbled out of the bank there were large blue -and gray beads and three iron bracelets—reserved by the teacher.</p> - -<p>I gather all the larger bones and we put them temporarily in a -piece of canvas. It is hard to collect all—the men are apprehensive—it -might be dangerous for them if detected. Everything smoothed -as much as possible, and we go across the river to examine two fish -nets belonging to the trader. One of these is found empty; but the -other contains five large king salmon, 15 to 20 pounds each, three -drowned, two still alive. The latter are hooked, hoisted to the edge -of the boat, killed with a club, and, full of blood, thrown into the -boat—great, stout, fine fish. To secrete our other findings from the -natives the storekeeper gets a large bundle of grass and ties it to -my package. We shall be bringing "medicine."</p> - -<p>Arrive home, only to learn that against our information the river -boat has left Tanana on schedule time, is now above Koyukuk, and is -expected to arrive at Kaltag before 8 p. m. Hurriedly pack, a few -more photographs, supper, and the smoke of the steamer begins to -be visible. In a little while she is at the bank, my boxes are brought -down, a greeting with old friends on the boat—the same boat -(<em>Jacobs</em>) on which I went from Nenana to Tanana—and we start off -for Anvik.</p> - -<p>Mr. Müller, the trader at Kaltag, German by birth, has a young, -fairly educated Eskimo wife, a good cook, housekeeper, and mother -of one child. The child is an interesting white-Eskimo blend.</p> - -<p>In his store Mr. Müller showed me a good-sized heavy bowl of red -stone with a figure seated in a characteristic way near one end. The -specimen was said to have come from an old site on the Kaiuh and<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_56" id="Page_56">[Pg 56]</a></span> -is of the same type as that at the museum in Juneau and the two -in the east, one at the Museum of the American Indian, New York, -and the other at the University Museum, Philadelphia. Regrettably -Mr. Müller would not part with the specimen. (See also p. <a href="#Page_34">34</a>.)</p> - -<p>The natives of Kaltag, so far as seen, are more Eskimoid than -those of any of the other settlements farther up the river.</p> - -<p>Fine evening; sit with a passenger going to Nome, until late. -Learn that the boat to St. Michael is waiting for this boat and will -go right on—not suitable for my work. Also we are to stop but a -few minutes at Anvik, where I am to meet Doctor Chapman, the -missionary.</p> - -<p>Sunday, June 27. About 5 a. m. arrive in the pretty cove of -Anvik. Received on the bank by Doctor Chapman, the head of the -local Episcopalian mission and school, and also the Anvik postmaster. -The doctor for the present is alone, his wife and daughter -having gone to Fairbanks, and so he is also the cook and everything. -In a few minutes, with the help of some native boys, I am with -my boxes in Doctor Chapman's house, and after the boat has left -and the necessities connected with what she left attended to we -have breakfast. I am soon made to feel as much as possible "at -home," and we have a long conversation. Then see a number of -chronic patients and incurables; attend a bit lengthy service in -Doctor Chapman's near-by little church; have a lunch with the -ladies at the school; visit the hill graveyard. They have reburied -all the older remains and there is nothing left. Attend an afternoon -service and give a talk to the congregation of about half a dozen -whites and two dozen more or less Eskimoid Indians on the Indians -and our endeavors; and then do some writing, ending the day by -going out for about a mile and a half along the banks of the Anvik -River, looking in vain for signs of something older, human or -animal. (Pl. 2, <em>c</em>.)</p> - -<p>There are many and bad gnats here just now—how bad I only -learned later, when I found my whole body covered with patches -of their bites; and also many mosquitoes, which proved particularly -obnoxious during the lunch. As the doctor is alone, the three excellent -white ladies of the school, matron and teachers, invited us, as -already mentioned, to lunch with them. We had vegetable soup, -a bit of cheese, two crackers each, a piece of cake, and tea. But I -chose an outlandish chair the seat of which was made of strips of -hide with spaces between; and from the beginning of the lunch to its -end there was a struggle between the proprieties of the occasion and -the mosquitoes that kept on biting me through the spaces in the seat. -Chairs of this type, and I finally told that to the ladies to explain -my seeming restlessness during the meal, should be outlawed in -Alaska.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_57" id="Page_57">[Pg 57]</a></span></p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">The Anvik People</span></h3> - -<p>The Anvik people, it will be recalled, were the first Yukon natives -seen by a white man. They were discovered in 1834 by Glazunof, -and since then have occupied the same site, located favorably on a -point between the Anvik and the Yukon Rivers. They belonged -to the Inkalik tribe, a name given to them, according to Zagoskin, -by the coast people and signifying "lousy," from the fact that they -never cut their hair, which in consequence, presumably, harbored -some parasites. Their village was the lowest larger settlement of the -Indians on the Yukon, the Eskimo commencing soon after.</p> - -<p>The Anviks to-day are clearly seen to be a hybrid lot. There are -unmistakable signs of a prevalent old Eskimo mixture. The men -are nearly all more or less Eskimoid, and even the head is not infrequently -narrower, fairly long, jaws much developed. The women, -however, show the Eskimo type less, and the children in a still smaller -measure—they are much more Indian. Yet even some women and -an occasional child are Eskimoid—face flat, long, lower jaw high, -cheek bones prominent forward (like welts on each side of the nose), -whole physiognomy recalling the Eskimo. The more Indianlike -types resemble closely those of the upper Yukon. There is perceptible, -too, some mixture with whites, particularly in the young.</p> - -<p>To bed about 11. Attic warm and window can not be opened -because of the insects. Sleep not very good; some mosquitoes in -room anyway. Wake up after 3 and just begin to doze off again -when the doctor gets up. About 4 he puts his shoes on—one can -hear every sound throughout the frame house, even every yawn—and -then goes to the kitchen where there soon comes the rattling of -pots. At 4.30 comes up to bid me good morning and ask me if I am -ready to get up and have breakfast. A man with a boat is to be -ready at 6 to take me to some old site. So a little after 5 I get up, -shave, dress and go down. Another night to make up for sometime, -somewhere.</p> - -<p>We finish breakfast and the doctor goes to look for the man, but -everything deadlike, no one stirring anywhere. So I pack my stone -specimens from the river above and the bones from Kaltag, etc. It -is 8 a. m. and then at last Harry Lawrence, our man, appears—having -understood to come about that time—and before long we -start, in a good-sized boat, up the Yukon.</p> - -<p>Day mostly cloudy but fairly good; no wind. Must use mosquito -mixture all the time, even after I get on boat, but they quit later. -Am standing on the back of the boat against and over the "house" -over it—inside things shake too much and I can not see enough.</p> - -<p>Passing by fish wheels—heaps of fish in their boxes—some just -being caught and dumped in. Picturesque bluffs passed yesterday<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_58" id="Page_58">[Pg 58]</a></span> -seen to be of volcanic stone, near basalt, not granite, with indication -of minerals. Passing close to vertical cliffs of fissured and fragmented -rocks 200 to 500 feet high—dangerous. Consolidated volcanic -ashes with inclosure of many bowlders—fine lessons in geology. -Slides of soil and vegetation here and there. Large spruces and -altogether a richer vegetation since this particular rock region was -reached. There was in fact a plain line of demarcation in the vegetation -where the rocks changed.</p> - -<p>Sleepy. Afraid to doze and fall off, so go inside. But there the -motor thumps and shakes too much for a nap to be possible.</p> - -<p>About 12 miles upstream from Anvik, on the north bank, the mineralized -rocks and tufa suddenly cease, to be superseded by a line, -several miles long, of sheared-off loess bluffs about 200 feet high. -Here the vegetation changes very perceptibly. Two mammoth jaws -obtained from these deposits have a few years ago been given to Mr. -Gilmore, of the United States National Museum.</p> - -<p>22 to 23 miles up the river, north bank, a fine large platform and an -old native site. Many signs still of pit and tunnel houses. A little -farther upstream a hill with abandoned burials. Excavate a grave -on a promontory over the river—not very old—wet and not much -left of soft parts, but succeed in getting the skeleton. Fine middle-aged -adult, somewhat Eskimoid, about typical for this region. -Carry down in a bag, dry on the beach gravel. Lunch on beach; -cheese, bread, coffee. The site is known as that of the Greyling River. -(Pl. 2, <em>b</em>.)</p> - -<p>Start back a little after 3. Very warm day. River smooth. Sky -looks like there might be a storm later.</p> - -<p>Hear of pottery—40 years ago it was still made at Anvik. Was -black, of poor quality. The women used to put feathers in the clay -"to make the pots stronger." When buried it soon rotted and fell -to pieces. In shapes and otherwise it was much like the Eskimo -pottery. Its decorations consisted of nail or other impressions, in -simple geometrical designs, particularly about the rim. It was -rather gross, but better pieces did occur, though rarely.</p> - -<p>It is becoming plain that there are no known traces of any really -old settlements along the present banks of the Yukon; nothing beyond -a few hundred years at most. If there was anything older no -external signs of it have been noted, and no objects of it have ever -been found. It seems certain that the stone implements thus far seen -were used and made by the pre-Russian and probably even later -Indians. They all belong to the polished-stone variety. No "paleolithic" -type of instrument has yet been seen.</p> - -<p>It is also evident that the Eskimo admixture and doubtless also cultural -influence extended far up the river. The farther down the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_59" id="Page_59">[Pg 59]</a></span> -river, particularly from Ruby, the more the Eskimoid physical characteristics -become marked and the Indian diluted, until at Anvik -most, or at least much, physical and cultural, is clearly Eskimo.</p> - -<p>Have further learned quite definitely that native villages on the -Yukon were seldom if ever stable. Have been known (as at Kaltag -and elsewhere) to have changed location as much as three times -within the last few scores of years, though in general they keep to the -same locality in a larger sense of the word. Anvik alone seems to -have remained on the old site since the advent of the whites.</p> - -<p>Anvik, Tuesday, June 29. Last night gave talk on evolution to -white teachers, etc. Quite appreciated, regardless of previous state -of mentality.</p> - -<p>Caught up with some sleep, even though my attic room was so -hot that the gum from the spruce boards was dropping down on me. -Good breakfast with the doctor—canned grapefruit, corn flakes with -canned milk, bread toasted in the oven, and coffee.</p> - -<p>Pack up my Greyling skeleton—much drier to-day—and dispatch -by parcel post, through the doctor as postmaster.</p> - -<p>Photograph school children and village. Gnats bad and have to -wear substantial underclothing (limbs are already full of dark red -itching blotches where bitten by them) though it is a hot day again.</p> - -<p>The full-blood and especially the slightly mixed children would -be fine, not seldom lovely, were they fully healthy; but their lungs -are often weak or there is some other tubercular trouble.</p> - -<p>The color of the full-bloods, juvenile and others, on the body, is -invariably submedium to near medium brown, the exposed parts -darker; and the chest test (mine) for full-bloodedness holds true. -The young are often good looking; the old rather ugly.</p> - -<p>All adults fishing now, the fish running much since a day or -two; all busy at the fish camps, not many, in the daytime especially, -about the mission.</p> - -<p>At noon air fills with haze—soon recognized as smoke from a fire -which is located at only about a mile, and that with the wind, from -the mission. We all hasten to some of the houses in the brush—find -enough clearing about them for safety. The school here burned -two years ago and so all are apprehensive. Natives from across -the river hasten to their caches. Luckily not much wind.</p> - -<p>After lunch children come running in saying they hear thunder; -one girl saying in their usual choppy, picturesque way, "Outside -is thunder"; another smaller one says, "It hollers above." Before -long a sprinkle and then gradually more and more rain until there -is a downpour followed by several thunderclaps (as with us) and -then some more rain. That, of course, stops the fire from approaching -closer and all is safe. Such storms are rare occurrences -hereabouts.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_60" id="Page_60">[Pg 60]</a></span></p> - -<p>My limbs are a sight from the gnats. Must apply Aseptinol. -Worse than any mosquitoes; like the worst chiggers. Poisonous—some -hemolytic substance, which causes also much itching, especially -at night.</p> - -<p>Arrange to leave to-morrow. Good people these, unpretentious, -but white through and through.</p> - -<p>Mr. Lawrence, the local trader, who with his boy was with me -yesterday, is going to take me to an old site down the river and then -to Holy Cross. Donates a fine old ivory arrow point from the site -mentioned. Doctor Chapman gives three old dishes and two stone -axes—haft on one of recent manufacture. The natives seem to have -nothing of this nature, and no old site is near. The nearest is -Bonasila, where we go to-morrow.</p> - -<p>This is truly a fish country. Along the placid Anvik River fish -smell everywhere—dead fish on shore here and there, or fish eggs, -or offal.</p> - -<p>Wednesday, June 30. Hazy and cool, 52° F. Take leave with -friend, Doctor Chapman, then at school, and leave 8 a. m. for -Bonasila.</p> - -<p>The gnat pest was bad this morning—could hardly load my baggage; -had to apply the smear again, but this helps only where -put and for a time only.</p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">Bonasila</span></h3> - -<p>Close to 10 a. m. arrive at the Bonasila site. Not much—just -a low bank of the big river, not over 4 feet high in front, and -a higher rank grass-covered flat with a little stream on the left and a -hill on the right. But the flat is full of fossae of old barabras -(pit and tunnel dwellings), all wood on surface gone; and there is a -cemetery to the right and behind, on a slope.</p> - -<p>Examine beach and banks minutely until 12. Modest lunch—two -sandwiches, a bit of cake and tea—and then begin to examine the -shore again. Soon after arrival finding bones of animals, some -partly fossilized; beaver, deer, caribou, bear, fox, dog, etc., all -species still living in Alaska, as found later, though no more in the -immediate neighborhood.</p> - -<p>Mosquitoes and gnats bad—use lot of oil. Begin soon to find -remarkably primitive looking stone tools, knockers, scrapers, etc. -Crawl through washed-down trees and brush. Many stones on the -beach show signs of chipping or use. Very crude—a protolithic industry; -but a few pieces better and showing polished edge. Also -plenty of fragments of pottery, not seldom decorated (indented). -Make quite a collection. And then, to cap it, find parts of human -skeleton, doubtless washed out from the bank. Much missing, but a<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_61" id="Page_61">[Pg 61]</a></span> -good bit recovered, and that bit is very striking. (See p. <a href="#Page_156">156</a>.) Also -a cut bone (clean cut, as if by a sharp knife) in situ in the mud -of the bank, and a little birch-bark basket still filled with mud from -the bank, with later a larger basket of same nature in situ; could -save but a piece. Conditions puzzling. Was there an older site -under one more recent?</p> - -<p>2 p. m. About 2 p. m. go to the cemetery. About a dozen burials -recognizable. A pest of mosquitoes and gnats—Lawrence soon -bleeds over face and neck, while I keep them off only by frequent -smearing. He soon has to smear, too. Open five graves—placed -above ground, wooden (split and no nails) boxes covered with earth -and sod. Skeletons all in contracted position, head to the east and -lying on right side. Some in poor condition. Three women, one -man, one child. Gnats swarm in the moss and the graves, and with -the smears, here and there a trickle of blood, the killed pests and -the dust, we soon look lovely. But there is enough of interest. -With each burial appears something—with the man two large blue -Russian beads; first woman—a pottery lamp (or dish), iron knife; -with the second two fire sticks, stone objects (sharpeners), partly -decayed clay dish; with the third, a Russian bead and a birch-bark -snuffbox; with the child a "killed" (?) glass bottle of old form -and an iron flask; in the grave of an infant (bones gone) a Russian -bead. A grave of a child—bones burned.</p> - -<p>6.15 p. m. Rest must be left. Lawrence may be enabled to do -some work in the fall. Leave 6.15; carry quite a lot—in sacks, gasoline -cans, lard cans. Wonder how I shall be able to send things from -Holy Cross, and what next. Cool, sky overcast whole day.</p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">Holy Cross</span></h3> - -<p>Thursday, July 1. Slept on the floor of a little store last night -at Ghost Creek. The Catholic mission at Holy Cross, with all sorts -of room, about 1½ miles down, and where, though late and tired, I -visited Father Jules Jetté, a renowned student of the dialects of the -Yukon Indians, did not offer to accommodate me, and the trader in -their village could only offer me a "bunk" in one little room with -three other people. So after 10 p. m. we went down to the "Ghost -Creek," where I was gladly given a little corner in the store of Alec -Richardson. Of course there were whining dogs outside, right next -to the store on both sides, and they sang at times (or howled) like -wolves, whose blood they seem to carry. And a cat got closed in with -me and was pulling dried fish about, which she chewed, most of the -night it seemed. So there was not much sleep until from about 5 -a. m. to 8.30, after the cat was chased out and the dogs got weary. -Then no breakfast till near 9.30.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_62" id="Page_62">[Pg 62]</a></span></p> - -<p>Went to mission again to see Father Jetté—he is not of the mission—a -fine old Frenchman and scholar. He was not responsible for -last night and anyway I was spoiled farther up the river. His -meritorious work deserves to be known and published.</p> - -<p>After a very simple lunch packed yesterday's collections from the -Bonasila site—five boxes. The parcel post here alone will cost -$20.40. How odd that the transportation of the collections of a -Government institution must be paid for from the little appropriation -received for scientific work to another department of the same -Government.</p> - -<p>It is cloudy, drizzly, cold. Am endeavoring to leave to-morrow, -but they want $35 to the next station, and the boat does not leave -for St. Michael until the 11th. Fortunately I am able to send away -the collections, and there will surely be some way down the river.</p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">Ghost Creek</span></h3> - -<p>July 1-2, 10.30 p. m. A night on the Yukon. (Pl. 3, <em>a</em>,) They -have lit a powder against the mosquitoes. Smear the many gnat -bites with Mentholatum—helps but for a while—and having now my -fine meshed netting, my own bedding, and a clean pillow, I feel -fine, safe from all the pests, and ready for a quiet night, all alone.</p> - -<p>Commenced dozing off when a he-cat, who hid in the store at -closing, begins to make all kinds of unnamable noises. Stand it for -a while, but he does not stop and one could never sleep—so crawl -out from the bed, catch the beast, and throw him out.</p> - -<p>In again and settling down, when another cat—did not know there -were two here—begins to mew and tries to force its way out under -the door, which is about 2½ inches above the floor. Persists until -I have to get up the second time. Throw that cat out and in bed -once more.</p> - -<p>In a minute, however, the dogs outside espied the cats and began -a pandemonium of howls and yelps and barks. Try hard, but can -not stand it. Moreover, the last cat got on the roof, where I hear -him walking, and he seems in no hurry to get off. So finally have -to get out, catch the cat on the edge of the roof, throw him back into -the store, and to bed for another trial. But soon have to smear the -body; the bites itch too much. The sleepiness is now quite gone. -A mild amusement as to what next. It must be midnight or later -now, and it has grown cold. One blanket is not sufficient. Doze off -a little, wake up with cold, readjust blanket and flaps of bag, doze -off a little again—the dogs commence to howl, just for a song this -time, in two, three, then a unison. The bites itch bitterly, now here, -now there. The sun has risen; it is real cold, probably no more than -about 40° to 45° F. And so on until 5.30, when at last fall into<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_63" id="Page_63">[Pg 63]</a></span> -a deep, dreamless sleep, regardless of light, cats, dogs, and everything -and sleep until 8.30.</p> - -<p>Wake up, can not believe my watch; but it goes, and so probably -is right. But no one anywhere yet stirring.</p> - -<p>Dress, wash a bit in the muddy river; head feels as if it had been -knocked by something heavy. Make my "roll" of bedding and -then work on notes, putting down faithfully what has transpired. -About 9.30, at last, the storekeeper comes to say they overslept and -that a cup of coffee will be ready before long.</p> - -<p>Friday, July 2. "Ghost Creek" was named so because of many -burials about the creek. The flat between the hills here is about -three-fourths of a mile long by the water front, with rising slopes, -and used to extend considerably farther out, but was "cut" or -washed away by the river. It has been used for a village site and -burial ground by the old Indians of the vicinity. As the banks -tumble away, bone arrow points, barbed and not, stone scrapers, and -other objects wash out. Graves are found in the ground as well as -above it. Russian influence prevalent in the objects buried with the -bodies, but site extends to pre-Russian time. Same type graves as -at Bonasila, with slight local modifications.</p> - -<p>At Bonasila the burials above ground were in boxes of hewn wood, -joined somewhat as the logs in a log house, and without any base. -The body inside was covered with birch bark (three or four pieces), -then covered with the top planks, unfastened, and these in turn -covered with about a foot of earth and sod. At Ghost Creek the -same, but there is an undressed-stake base or platform on which the -sides of the "coffin" rest and with somewhat less earth and sod on -the top of the box. But graves differ here from underground and -birch bark alone (no trace of wood, if any was ever there; but -probably none used) to such aboveground as have iron nails and -sawed planks. Here, as at Bonasila, a few simple articles are -generally found buried at the head, and for these many of the graves -were already despoiled and the skeletal remains scattered or reburied.</p> - -<p>There appears to be no line of demarcation between the underground -and aboveground graves; possibly the latter were winter -burials, but this must be looked into further.</p> - -<p>The bodies here, except the latest, are buried flexed. Exceptionally, -both at Bonasila and here, the planks surrounding the grave -were painted with some mineral pigments which resist decomposition -better than the wood, and decorated in a very good native way with -series of animals and men, caribou, bear, etc. Too faint to photograph, -and too bulky and decayed to take away; but decoration much -superior to ordinary Indian pictographs, and apparently connecting -with the type of art of the northwest coast. It is of interest that<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_64" id="Page_64">[Pg 64]</a></span> -practically the same decorated burials were seen by Dall among the -Eskimo of Norton Sound (Unalaklik).<a name="FNanchor_4_4" id="FNanchor_4_4"></a><a href="#Footnote_4_4" class="fnanchor">[4]</a> In this case it was probably -the Indian habit that was adopted by the near-by Eskimo, for -none of the more northern Eskimo practiced such burials. The habit -was also known in southeastern Alaska. (Pl. 3, <em>b</em>.)</p> - -<p>Jim Walker, the helpful local mix-breed trader, has dug out many -of these graves (alone or with Harry Lawrence), and a good many -of the objects are said to have been taken away by Father O'Hara, -formerly of the Holy Cross Mission.</p> - -<p>According to all indications the stone culture of Bonasila and of -Ghost Creek (1½ miles upstream from Holy Cross) were related, -both passing apparently into the Russian period, and that at Ghost -Creek continuing down to our times, for there is still living here an -old man who belongs to this place which once had a large village. -Much could be done yet and saved in both places.</p> - -<p>Saturday, July 3. At last slept, notwithstanding everything, and -succeeded even in being warm.</p> - -<p>Breakfast 8.30, for a wonder. Two soft-boiled Seattle eggs, two -bits of toast with canned butter (not bad at all), some over-preserved -raspberries, and a faded-looking nearly cold "flapjack" with -sirup, also mediocre tea. But all goes here, and the stomach calls -for no other attention than to fill it.</p> - -<p>Finishing work, getting further information from the old Indian, -writing, and waiting to go away with a trader to Paimute, the first -all-Eskimo village, 25 miles farther down the river. Rains occasionally, -but not very cold. Many gnats when wind moderates.</p> - -<p>Lunch—canned sardines (in this land of fresh salmon!), a bit of -toast, some canned fruit, and that unsavory tea.</p> - -<p>Have utilized this day in a profitable manner. Have learned -that there was another burial ground about half a mile farther upstream, -behind an elevation. So got a rowboat and with Jim -Walker's young boy rowed over. Had to wade through high grass -over a wet flat, and then up the rank grass and bush-covered slope, -and there found a number of old burials. All rifled, but most of -the bones still there. So send boy back, on the quiet—there is above -the store the camp of the old man with an old Indian woman and -sick girl—for some boxes, and meanwhile collect. It is an unceasing -struggle with the mosquitoes and gnats in the tall grass and weeds; -but one after another I find what remains of the usual old box -burials. The bones are mostly in good condition. The boy arrives -with several empty gasoline boxes, we gather drier grass and moss, -and pack right on the spot, eventually get to the boat, strike off as -far as possible from the shore so none could see what is carried, and -proceed to Walker's storehouse. Old Indian and his old crony -nevertheless stand on bank and look long at us. In storehouse boxes -closed, later delivered by the boy to the mail boat, and so that much -is saved; for were it not collected, in a few years the weather, vegetation, -and animals, human and other, would destroy everything.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 700px;"> -<div class="caption"><p><span class="bureau">BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY</span> <span class="plate">FORTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT PLATE 3</span><br /></p> -</div> -<img src="images/plate_3a.jpg" width="700" height="389" alt="" /> -<div class="caption"><p><em>a</em>, Midnight on the Yukon</p></div> - -<img src="images/plate_3b.jpg" width="700" height="527" alt="" /> -<div class="caption"><p><em>b</em>, Lower middle Yukon: Painted burial box of a Yukon Indian (before 1884) said to have been a -hunter of Bielugas (white whales), which used to ascend far up the Yukon</p></div> -</div> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 700px;"> -<div class="caption"><p><span class="bureau">BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY</span> <span class="plate">FORTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT PLATE 4</span><br /></p> -</div> -<img src="images/plate_4a.jpg" width="700" height="340" alt="" /> -<div class="caption"><p><em>a</em>, Eskimo camp below Paimute, Yukon River</p></div> - -<img src="images/plate_4b.jpg" width="700" height="380" alt="" /> -<div class="caption"><p><em>b</em>, Old "protolithic" site 12 miles down from Paimute, right bank, just beyond "12-mile hill." -(skull, bones, stones)</p></div> - -<img src="images/plate_4c.jpg" width="700" height="376" alt="" /> -<div class="caption"><p><em>c</em>, "Old" site in bank seen in middle of picture, 12 miles down from Paimute, opposite that shown in -preceding figure.

Strong, kinder than the Yukon Indians. -But they differ but little in some cases from the latter. They are -medium brown in color, hair exactly like the Indian, beard also—only -the rather flat (not prominent) mid parts of the face, with -rather long and narrow (upper two-thirds) nose, and the cheek -bones protruding more or less forward, with face long (often), due -to the vertical development of the jaws, helps to distinguish them as -Eskimo. There is no clear line of demarcation between the Indian -farther up the river and the Eskimo down here, yet in some here -the Eskimo type is unmistakable. They have more epicanthus, -flatter, longer, and stronger (more massive) face, stronger frame, -rather submedium length of legs, and less brachycephalic (or more -oblong) head, but not the characteristic, narrow and high, keel-shaped -dome that one is used to associate with the Eskimo.</p> - -<p>1 p. m. A little lunch—just a cup of coffee and a few crackers. -Photograph two natives.</p> - -<p>1.30 p. m. Start toward Russian Mission. Trader carries sugar -in bags and tea for camps.</p> - -<p>Near 2. Stop at an Eskimo camp, see sick baby, photograph a -few individuals. Get an ax for a pocketbook—old man happy as a -child at the exchange. Made another one happy this morning in -payment for information with one of my steamer caps. (Pl. 4, <em>a</em>.)</p> - -<p>Pass along the still continuing bulging hills on the right. They -are forested over lower parts, barren, though mostly greenish, above. -As usual flats on left, devoid of man. Occasionally a fish camp on -right, or a small village, somewhat different, though in essentials -like the Indian (more gregariousness noticeable—up river mostly -individual or at most two or three families). Every favorable higher -flat or low saddle among the hills on the right and facing the river -(or a slough) is utilized by the natives, but such places are scarce.</p> - -<p>The ax obtained looks as if it had been broken after found, to make -of it a single-edge tool. Tumbled out of a bank. Old Eskimo knew -not who made it. Found some miles below Paimute by the old man. -Others found, but lost. Ivory arrow and spear points also known -to natives, but no one now has any.</p> - -<p>A mountain ahead of us. Sky clouded mostly, high diffuse vapors -and low, heavy but separated cumuli in the east; one would expect -soon a heavy rain. Visibility exceptionally good, horizons far -away, uncommonly clear. Mountains sharply outlined against the -sky.</p> - -<p>About 12 miles below Paimute, on left, some higher banks (old silts -and dunes). The ax from the old man had been found here. Stop. -Find pottery 12 feet, charcoal 15 feet from surface. Also polished<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_68" id="Page_68">[Pg 68]</a></span> -and worked stones. But most of bank has already been cut off and -what remains shows no signs of man on the top. (Pl. 4, <em>b</em>.)</p> - -<p>Cross river obliquely to right bank, just beyond last ("12-mile") -hill. Find at once numerous evidences of stone work along the stony -beach. In an hour have a fair collection, mainly rejects, but interesting. -On top of bank find several mounds and ridges, doubtless dunes, -though the one farthest up the river looks very much like a large -oval man-made mound. Parts of two much-weathered skulls and -one bone lay on the top of this. No definite marks of graves excepting -perhaps in one instance. A sign of old clearing farther down, -but no "barabras." A spot well worthy of exploration. It was, I -learned a little later from Nick Williams, a native who used to act -as a pilot on the river, the old mountain village or "Ingrega-miut," -and the site is 12 miles downstream from Paimute. (Pl. 4, <em>c</em>.)</p> - -<p>Beyond are flats and cut banks, both sides, but with hills (old -water front) behind on the right and mountains in front. River -here very wide.</p> - -<p>Many of the worked stones, and occasionally, according to native -information, skulls and bones, are washed out from the banks and -deposited (rolling, etc.) lower on the beach in something like strata, -and in that way evidence is being perverted. Some day a new bank -or even a dune may be formed over these secondary deposits and a -great source of possible future error be completed.</p> - -<p>All the natives along the river (to here) like to bury on the lower -slopes of near-by hills.</p> - -<p>To bed on floor of kitchen tent at the fine, clean little place of -Tucker's, at 10.30. At 1.30 the 20 dogs start a fine, sustained, unison -howl song, and I seem to hear an approaching boat. As the Governor -of Alaska is expected, slip on shoes and necktie, brush hair, -and run out. There is a little boat at the little "dock" (the only -one seen so far on the Yukon). Tucker and his son are already -there, and I soon hear that the governor is on the boat, which is -that of Mr. Townsend, of the Fish Commission. In a few minutes -we meet, both in shirt sleeves. And I learn the <em>Matanuska</em>, the -boat that was to take me from the Russian Mission to St. Michael, -has broken down and is not coming. In her place, but no telling -as to time, will be sent the <em>Agnes</em>, a smaller and slower boat, on -which three people have already this season been "gassed" (overcome -by the exhaust gases), one of them jumping into the river. -She has accommodation for four persons at most, and that of the -most primitive, they say. The governor fortunately gives me some -hope that I may be picked up and taken down by the same boat which -is taking him to Holy Cross. He also tells me of a skull for me at -one of the stopping places, Old Hamilton. A frank, good, strong -man.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_69" id="Page_69">[Pg 69]</a></span></p> - -<p>Boat leaves in a few minutes. Back to bed, but now almost full -daylight—also cold, and so no more than a doze until 6.15, at which -time the boy comes to the kitchen where I was kindly accommodated -to start fire and breakfast. So up with a drowsy head. At 7 breakfast—coffee, -oatmeal, flapjacks, and good company. Everything -about this place is neat, fresh, pleasing—the best individual place -on the river. Cloudy, blustery, cool; can not start, so go 1½ miles -down to Dogfish village, or I-ka-thloy-gia-miut—probably the same -as Zagoskin's I-ka-lig-vig-miut. Only three or four families there -now; nearly all the inhabitants died of influenza in 1900. But -already before reaching the village, in examining the stones along -the beach, I find some chipped ones, and they represent the same -industry evidently as those at the two sites yesterday. Later find -numerous chipped scrapers, pointed hammers, crude cutters and -chisels, and a few axes. Make quite a collection, including a few -objects found in possession of natives.</p> - -<p>This is a good site, above high water. Must be old. Pottery also -encountered occasionally by present occupants, but not one bead; -little if any river cutting here for a long period. Worth exploration. -Photograph another Indianlike Eskimo. Want to buy an old dish -from an Eskimo, border inlaid with six white stones, shaped like an -oblong lozenge with rounded corners, but he wants $20. Lunch all -together, some Eskimo included, at Tucker's, and then as the wind -moderates and the sun comes out, start for the Russian Mission. -Mostly still clouds and cool, with some rain in the mountains to -the right.</p> - -<p>Finds and inquiries made at Dogfish village make it positive that -the stone culture there is Eskimo, i. e., of the Eskimo of this region -who are probably not a little mixed with Indians. Their head is -but moderately oblong, not keel shaped. The majority, however, -have Eskimo features.</p> - -<p>But the cupid-bow (double-grooved) axes are not known to have -been made by these people, and when used after being found or -brought down from farther up the river they apparently were -broken. One such example was seen already at Ruby—another one -at Anvik—secured; and one found yesterday at Mountain village. -The axes here are most often oblong, quadrilateral, without groove, -or approaching the single-grooved axes of the Indians in the States.</p> - -<p>July 6. Proceed down the river toward Russian Mission, examining -the banks as closely as possible. Toward evening stop at -"Gurtler's," a short distance above the mission.</p> - -<p>Mr. Gurtler is a German by birth; his wife is half Indian, of Ruby. -She, as well as her 14-year-old daughter, are neat, apt, and very industrious, -quiet and nice mannered. With an Eskimo woman, she<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_70" id="Page_70">[Pg 70]</a></span> -cleans and cuts up—a whole art of its own—on the average over 200 -good-sized salmon a day. Clean place, very good smoking house—much -superior to those up the river, except Tucker's.</p> - -<p>Sleep in a clean bed of theirs; would much prefer my own and -the hard floor, but fear to offend.</p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">Russian Mission</span></h3> - -<p>Pack my stones and bones collected between here and Holy Cross, -and after lunch go to Russian Mission. Meet Mr. Cris Betsch, the -trader, and find him both friendly and anxious to help. Teacher -and her mother invite me to supper. Before that Mr. Betsch calls in -a number of the older men, and we have a talk about ancient things, -but they know nothing worth while beyond a few score of years at -most; they give me, however, some data and names of old villages.</p> - -<p>A few years ago some human bones and skulls were dug up here -and reburied. Eskimo readily agree to help us find them and to let -me take them. Moreover, they are quite eager to dig up an old medicine -man supposed to be buried under a good-sized (for this country) -blue spruce. They get shovels, soon find some of the old bones and a -damaged skull, and later on, with the help of information given by -an elderly woman, uncover also a female skull. Uncover further -the end of two birch-bark-covered coffins, from Russian time, and -would readily dig them out did I not restrain them; as also with -the medicine man. We shall probably get some such specimens from -this locality later, so there is no need of disturbing the burials.</p> - -<p>Mrs. Barrick, the teacher, gives us a "civilized" supper, at which I -am introduced for the first time to a great and fine Yukon specialty, -namely, smoked raw strips of king salmon, and find them excellent. -Then a good talk with all, after which pack specimens—still somewhat -damp, but it would be difficult to wait—deliver to the post, and -am sent to my place around the hill at a little past 10 p. m. with an -invitation by Mr. Betsch to go to-morrow to "the slough of the 32 -kashims (council or communal house)," about 10 miles down the -river. But I have already been promised by Gurtler to take me -down to this place, and so I can not accept. Just now I need sleep.</p> - -<p>July 7. After breakfast examine banks and beach along Gurtler's -place and find two stone implements, two pieces of decorated pottery, -and a bone of some animal. Wash, dry, and pack, then a cup -of coffee—the Gurtler's have a habit of drinking a second cup at -about 10 a. m. each day—and then, after some of the seemingly -inevitable trouble with motor, start down the river. It rained yesterday; -the clouds show low pressure; it is not warm and the water -is somewhat rough.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_71" id="Page_71">[Pg 71]</a></span></p> - -<p>Stop a bit at the mission to give Mrs. Barrick a fish and get a bag -or two from Mr. Betsch, and then proceed. From the river the -Russian Mission settlement is seen to be very favorably situated at -the foot of the southern slope of a big hill. But the recency of the -flat below and in front of the church and schoolhouse is clearly -seen again. The site about where the church and school are may—in -fact must, it is so favored—be a very old one, and doubtless a -thorough excavation of the slope from the back of the houses -upward would be both easy and very instructive. The place should -by all means receive attention.</p> - -<p>Reach and examine the "32 kashim slough," a beautiful side channel -about 7 miles long; reach about 1½ miles from its entrance, -examine banks and pass through jungle, find tracks of foxes and of -a bear, also see one big beautiful red fox trotting ahead of us on the -other beach—but not a trace of man. Examine also the "mounds" -on Grand Island, but find them to be only dunes.</p> - -<p>Lunch on the beach; remarkably few mosquitoes and no gnats; -smoked raw salmon strips again, and coffee; and at 5 leave for home, -it being impossible so late to go down to the end of the channel.</p> - -<p>On return all going nicely until 5. Then, in a slough 3½ miles -from the Russian Mission, after an examination of another likely site, -breakdown of the motor. Do everything possible to make it go until -about 8, but in vain. Then I take the crazy little rowboat that luckily -we took with us, bail out the water with our shovel, and row to -the mission for help. Get there about 9, send back a launch with some -natives, have a little supper with the teacher, and row home around -the hill, reaching Gurtler's near 11. In a few minutes the launch -is towed in and all is well once more. Mr. Betsch got for us two -good native "kantágs" or wooden dishes. Also we fix to go down to -the "32 kashims" to-morrow once more with Mr. Betsch and the -teacher.</p> - -<p>July 8. Up a little after 6; breakfast; and then comes in a native -from the mission with two letters and information that the <em>Agnes</em>, -the little mail-carrier boat, has arrived during the night and is waiting -for me to take me to Marshall and to Old Hamilton, whence -another boat will take me in a day or two to St. Michael. So get -ready in a minute, put my baggage on a native's boat, pay my bill, -leave another lot of good friends, and row to the mission. There is -the little dinghy <em>Agnes</em> with its "accommodation" for three passengers -already two-thirds filled up, and towing two big logs as a freight. -Put my things partly in a "bunk," partly on the roof, give good-byes -to Betsch and the teacher, help to push off the boat which is stuck in -the mud, and we are off for another Yukon chapter.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_72" id="Page_72">[Pg 72]</a></span></p> - -<p>We pass by the lower end of the "32 kashim" slough—no sign of -any site—all recently made flats. If there is anything left of the old -sites it must be at the foot of the hills, or has been covered with silt. -The site is so favorable that in all probability there was once there -a good-sized settlement, but due to river action and the jungle it -could not be located. Mr. Betsch visited the place that day, and again -with some old natives on another occasion, without being more -fortunate.</p> - -<p>Cloudy, slightly drizzly day, no trace of sun, mists over the tops of -the hills. Could not stand it in the boat, so sitting on my box on -the roof of the boat, wrapped, due to the cold, in a blanket.</p> - -<p>A little below the "32 kashim" slough a small stream enters from -inland—a place to be examined; but this boat can not stop for such -a purpose.</p> - -<p>A half mile or so farther down a few graves and crosses, with -remnants of a native habitation.</p> - -<p>Over 3 miles down, just beyond first bluff, fine site, with low hills -stretching far beyond it—now but a few empty, half-ruined native -houses. Should be explored.</p> - -<p>South of second rocky bluff a live camp, and farther down another.</p> - -<p>The left side of the river is still all flats as far as one can see, -but about 17 miles below Russian Mission human bones came out of -a bank there (on a slough).</p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">Marshall</span></h3> - -<p>At 3 p. m. reach Marshall, a little cheerful-looking mining town, -high on a bank. See the place, identify the skeleton from the above-mentioned -bank as that of a missing white man, see telegraph operator, -postmaster, teacher, commissioner. Sun comes out, is warm. -Almost no mosquitoes here and no gnats. Hills above and beyond -town belong already to the coast range and are barren of trees, even -largely bare of shrubs and bushes. Leave 4.30.</p> - -<p>Soon after Marshall—after passing by an Eskimo village (white -man's style of buildings)—leave the hills and enter flats on both -sides. This is the beginning of the delta region. River like glass, -and it is warm in the sun but very perceptibly cooler when sun is -hidden.</p> - -<p>The boat has only three bunks, and there are five of us with the two -pilots. But on the last trip up, there were, fortunately only for -about eight hours, seven, including two women and a child, and that -without any privacy or conveniences whatsoever. It is almost criminal, -and they charge a very steep fare. However, for me it will -soon be over—only about 36 hours. Still it is hard to believe this<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_73" id="Page_73">[Pg 73]</a></span> -is yet in the United States and presumably under some sort of -supervision.</p> - -<p>Which brings me to a realization that the first half of my journey—the -preliminary survey of the Yukon—is slowly closing; a -little, and it will be the sea and other conditions, which also brings -the realization that I have seen much but learned not greatly. What -should be done would be to own a suitable fast boat; to locate on each -of the more important old sites a party for careful, prolonged excavation; -and to try to locate, in the rear of or on the higher places on -the present river flats, more ancient sites than are known to date. -These steps, together with the enlisting of the interest in these matters -of every prospector, miner, and trader, would before many years -lead to much substantial knowledge.</p> - -<p>Friday, July 9. Must keep up these notes, for they alone keep me -posted on the day and date; even then I am not always sure. There -are no Sundays in nature.</p> - -<p>Slept in my bag on the roof of the <em>Agnes</em>. Her namesake must -have been one of these goodly but insufficient and but indifferently -clean native women, plodding, doing not a little work, but wanting -in many a thing. It was cold and dreary, but I found an additional -blanket, and so, with mosquito netting about my head—one or two -got in anyway—would have slept quite well had it not been for a -dog. At about 1 a. m. we stopped in front of a little place called -also "Mountain Village." And almost at once we began to hear a -most piteous and insistent wail of a dog who either had colic or thirst -or hunger, and he kept it up with but little stops for what seemed -like two hours, making my sleep, at least, impossible.</p> - -<p>Saturday, July 9. Morning. Cold, cloudy, rough—head almost -beginning to feel uncomfortable, the boat is tossing so much. A -teacher comes aboard with an inflamed hand which I fix; a few -questions, the mail bag, and we are off again. Enter a slough where -it is less rough and warmer. Later the sun will probably come out -again. This evening we shall be at Old Hamilton and then a new -anxiety—how to get to St. Michael.</p> - -<p>Just had a little walk over the roof—my roof, for the other two -passengers prefer to sleep in the gassy, dingy room below, though how -they can stand it is beyond my medical ken. It is four short steps -long, or five half steps in an oblique direction.</p> - -<p>Every object in distance appears magnified all along the river for -many days now. An old snag will look like a boat or a man, hills -look higher, a boat looks much more pretentious than she proves to -be on meeting.</p> - -<p>Firs and spruce have now completely disappeared, also forests of -birch, etc., are reduced to brush both on flats and lower parts of hills.<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_74" id="Page_74">[Pg 74]</a></span> -Very large portion of the hills in distance just greenish with grass -and lichens, not even a brush.</p> - -<p>9.45 a. m. Meet the <em>Matanuska</em> bound upward. Looked from distance -like an ocean steamer; from near, just a lumbering, moderate-sized -river boat with a barge in front. But a whole lot better than -ours.</p> - -<p>The scenery has become monotonous. The gray river, although -only one of the "mouths," is broad, and the country is all low. -Nothing but bushy or grassy cut banks on the right, and mud flats, -"smoking" under the wind, to low banks on left. It is a little -warmer and the warm sun shows itself occasionally, but I still need -the wrapping of a double blanket. The wind luckily is with us and -the waves not too bad.</p> - -<p>Noon. Passing "Fish village"; a few huts and tents.</p> - -<p>No "camps" here outside the few villages; just an endless dreary -waste and water.</p> - -<p>New Hamilton—a few native huts only now—no whites.</p> - -<p>Reach Old Hamilton—about a dozen houses with a warehouse, -a store of the Northern Commercial Co., and a nice looking but now -unoccupied school.</p> - -<p>Here the governor told me there was somewhere a skull waiting -for me, and the storekeeper would tell me of it. But when we arrive -there are only two or three natives to meet us. The storekeeper, -who is also postmaster, is said to be sick in bed. He is supposed to -have an ulcer or some other bad thing of the stomach. So we go to -his house and find him in bed, with a lot of medicine bottles on a table -next to him. Is alone; no wife. Shows no enthusiasm in seeing me, -though heard of my coming. Reads letters—no attention to me. -Gets up—I ask him about his illness—answers like a man carrying a -chip on his shoulder. Goes to store to attend to mail, and barely -asks me to follow. I wait in store; he finishes mail and goes out—orders -the Eskimo present out gruffly, and to me says, "You may -stay in the store; I'll be back." But I wait and wait, and finally -decide the man for some reason is unwilling to help me. Asked him -before he went out about the <em>Matanuska</em>, but he told me she might -not be back from Holy Cross in a month, trying doubtless to discourage -me to stay. On going toward the <em>Agnes</em> I find him sitting -on a log and talking to a couple of men from a tugboat that has -arrived—just talk, no business, judging from their laughing. So I -go on the boat, write a few words to Mr. Townsend of the Bureau of -Fisheries, who makes this place his headquarters, and with some -feeling hand this to the man, telling him at the same time that -plainly he does not wish to assist me in any way. This, of course, -rouses him; he gets red and says a few lame words, ending with, -"Do you think I would touch any of them dam things or that<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_75" id="Page_75">[Pg 75]</a></span> -I would let any of my men (natives) touch them? Not on your -life!" So I leave Old Hamilton, for he is the only white man there -now. But the place had other distinctions. Until recently, I am -told, they have had a teacher, a young girl, who in her zeal had the -natives collect all the burial boxes with their contents and had them -all thrown into the river. Not long after she accomplished that she -left. The storekeeper told me that "If I want them so bad I could -pick them up (skulls and bones) along the river where the water -washed them out after the teacher threw them in." Luckily there -were not many "Old Hamiltons."</p> - -<p>We met here a boat from St. Michael with Mr. Frank P. Williams, -the well-known postmaster and trader of St. Michael, who comes -for the two men, my fellow passengers. We get acquainted and, to -escape the gases of the <em>Agnes</em>, I go with them. The boat is heavier -and free from fumes, though without accommodation. At about 7 -p. m. we arrive at Kotlik, at the mouth of the river—an abandoned -wireless station, a store, and four tents of natives. But the old -wireless building, now the storekeeper's house, is the dwelling place -of a clean white man, Mr. Backlund, who is now "outside," but -with whom Mr. Williams is in some partnership; so we occupy the -building. Outside the wind has risen to half a gale and there are -squalls of rain and drizzle. The <em>Agnes</em> has to "tie to," as she would -be swamped in the open. My boxes and bedding, which were on the -roof of the <em>Agnes</em>, are soaked, though the contents will be dry. So -both boats are fastened to a little "dock," and we soon have fire in -the stove, supper, and then—it is 11 p. m.—a bed, not overclean, -somewhat smelly, but a bed and free from mosquitoes, rain, wind, -and cold.</p> - -<p>July 10. Up at 6.30. Outside a storm and rain—just like one of -the three-day northeasters with us, and cool. Both boats were to -leave, but are unable to do so. I find that Mr. Williams's tug will -come back here and go to St. Michael on the 13th, so arrange with -Mr. Williams to take me and leave the <em>Agnes</em> for good. This partly -because I learn of two graveyards near, one 1½, the other 4½ -miles distant.</p> - -<p>After lunch, rain for a while ceasing, I set out for the nearer -burial place. This is already a tundra country—treeless and bush-less -flats overgrown with a thick coat of moss, into which feet bury -themselves as in a cushion, and dotted with innumerable swampy -depressions with high swamp grass. Walking over all this is very -difficult—lucky I have rubber boots. Even so, it is no easy matter, -except where a little native trail is encountered.</p> - -<p>The graveyard, belonging to the now abandoned little village above -Kotlik, consists of only about half a dozen adult graves. These -consist of boxes of heavy lumber laid on a base raised above the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_76" id="Page_76">[Pg 76]</a></span> -ground level, and covered with other heavy boards. Some of the -burials are quite recent. Open three older ones. In two the remains -are too fresh yet, but from one secure a good female skeleton, -which I pack in a practically new heavy pail, thrown out probably -on the occasion of the last funeral. Then back, farther out, to avoid -notice, through swamps and over moss, and with a recurring wind-driven -drizzle against which my umbrella is but a weak protection.</p> - -<p>Reach home quite wet and a bit tired. Have to undress and, -wrapped in a blanket, dry my clothes and underwear about the -stove.</p> - -<p>Nothing further this day and evening—just wind and heavy low -clouds and rain.</p> - -<p>July 11. Up at 4.40. Weather has moderated. The <em>Agnes</em> left -at 4 and Mr. Williams's boat, due to favorable tide, must soon go -also. Breakfast, and all leave me before 6.</p> - -<p>Yesterday we brought up my needs—i. e., collection of skeletal -material—to the few natives here, explaining to them everything, -and they do not object in the least. One of them, in fact, is to take -me to-day to the more distant cemetery in a rowboat and help me -in my work.</p> - -<p>My man, after being sent for, comes at a little after 7. He is a -good-looking and well-behaving Eskimo of about 35. He brings a -good-sized tin rowboat—a whaling or navy boat probably; but "he -leaks a whole lot." The oarlocks are not fastened to the boat, the -plate of one is loose, and the oars are crudely homemade of driftwood -and pieces of lumber fastened on with nails; in one the shaft -is crooked, while the other is much heavier. But we start, with the -sky still leaden and gray but no wind and calm water. I row -and he paddles; then he rows and I paddle. We carry but the -camera, a little lunch, a heavier coat each, and a box and two bags -for the specimens. We pass a number of broods of little ducks, the -mother prancing before us until the young are in safety, and there -are several species of new kinds (to me) of water birds, some of -which fly right above us, examining us. In the distance we see a -big abandoned dredge, then a few empty log houses and "barabras" -on the bank of a stream and the edge of the tundra. This is Pastolik, -our destination. There is no one anywhere near, an ideal condition -for work, if work there'll be. And there will be—for almost -immediately upon landing I see, beginning at a few rods distance -on the tundra, a series (about 50) of old graves, in all grades of -mossiness and preservation. A few are, we later find, quite late, but -the majority are old—60 years and over according to information -given by the natives of Kotlik. They do not, except perhaps the -few late ones, seem to belong to anyone still living. Yet "Pash<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_77" id="Page_77">[Pg 77]</a></span>tolik," -as they wrote it then, used to be a place of some importance -in the Russian times, and even later.</p> - -<p>We settle in an empty native house, and I start investigation. -The older graves are found widely spread in several clusters, but a -few are isolated at a distance.</p> - -<p>The graves are all aboveground and resemble in substance those -along the lower Yukon (Bonasila and downward). They consist -of a base of small logs or splits; a rude box about 3 feet long by -about 2 feet wide, of heavy, unpainted, unnailed, split boards; four -posts near the four corners; a cover, unjoined, of two to three heavy -split boards; two crosspieces over this, at head and base, perforated -and sliding over the upright posts, and a few half splits (smaller -drift logs split in two) laid over the top of the crosspieces.</p> - -<p>On the first cover lies as a rule a stone—generally a piece of a -slab or a good-sized pebble—unworked, though now and then showing -some trace of use. The pebble is generally broken.</p> - -<p>When the grave is opened there is usually over the body, as a -canopy on a light frame, a large (probably caribou) skin—rarely -birch bark. Neither covers or envelops the body but simply forms -a covering over it, with some space between it and the body. The -body lies flexed, on left or (rarely) right side, with the head toward -(or near) the east (same as at Bonasila). It is often covered with -or enveloped in a native matting. There are but few traces of -clothing on women; none on men. And very seldom is there anything -else in the coffin.</p> - -<p>Some of the oldest graves were found tumbled down and could -not be examined. The moss and roots envelop the bones, and it is a -tough job to get them out; also they eat the bones and destroy them. -Even in the older boxes, however, the downward part of the skeleton—generally -the left—is, due to moisture, usually in much worse -state of preservation than the upper.</p> - -<p>Children have been buried in large native wooden dishes and -these were in some cases placed on the top of adult graves, but more -generally about these, or even apart.</p> - -<p>Many household articles, from matches and pails to dishes, alarm -clocks, lamps, etc., are placed upon the ground near the more recent -dead. Excavation would probably recover here many older objects, -though wood decays.</p> - -<p>The wind has died down and the flat is as full of mosquitoes as a -Jersey salt meadow, and there is an occasional gnat. They bite, and, -having been almost free of the pest at Kotlik, I failed to take my -"juice" along, so just have to do the best possible. The gnats enter -even the eyes, however.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_78" id="Page_78">[Pg 78]</a></span></p> - -<p>Work as never before. Decide to utilize the rare opportunity to -the limit, and to take the whole skeletons, not merely the skulls, leaving -only the few fresher ones and those that are badly damaged. A -great Sunday; burial after burial; opening the wooden grave—taking -out and marking on the spot bone after bone—fighting mosquitoes -all the while—and packing temporarily in any convenient -receptacle. Fortunately there are quite a few boxes and pails and -oil cans on the spot, left by the dredge people and the few natives -who evidently sometimes come to the place. At about 2 eat lunch—coffee -(the Eskimo put what was for three cups into about two -quarts of water, so there is but a suggestion of coffee), raw smoked -fish for me and eggs with bacon (left over from breakfast) for my -companion, and on again until about 5 p. m. or a little later. Last -two or three hours, however, work with some difficulty. A gnat bit -me in an eyelid, or got into my eye, and that has now swollen so -that I can hardly see with it. My Eskimo, however, is about all I -could wish. He just looks at me working in a matter-of-fact way, -and carries the filled boxes, or looks around for something I could -take with me, and even helps on a few occasions with the bones, finding -evidently the whole proceeding quite right and natural. Brings -me, among other things, an old copper teakettle, but to his wonder I -do not want it and leave it. I find a fine large walrus-ivory doll -and a handsome decorated "kantág" (wooden bowl), besides smaller -objects, and also a large piece of a poor quality clay pot (no pottery -now), with a fragment of a decorated border as on the lower Yukon.</p> - -<p>Pack up, we load on the boat—lucky now she is so spacious—get -into the shallow river—the tide has run out—push the boat out and -start for home.</p> - -<p>Thus far we had but slight drizzles. But the clouds now grow -heavier, and as we have much farther to row than this morning, -due to the low water, we are caught by showers. The last mile or so -we have to hurry, see a big rain approaching. My man pushes her -with a pole while I row all I can, with both hands, with the heavy -oar. Of course the whole population of Kotlik has to see our arrival. -And more, too, for in our absence a schooner came in with wood and -a number of the natives. They talk, but no one is either angry or -excited. We two carry the boxes, pails, etc.—grass covered—into the -house; how lucky I am now alone. Inside I remove the wet grass -from them—the bones, too, are somewhat wet—then pay my Eskimo -$5, which again is taken as a matter-of-fact thing, without thanks, -but he well deserved the amount, even if I rowed a full half.</p> - -<p>It is 9 p. m. My man comes again, we have a modest supper, he -some left-over meat and I again the smoked fish, which I feel is -strengthening me as well as agreeing with my stomach, and then to<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_79" id="Page_79">[Pg 79]</a></span> -rest, quite earned to-day. Seldom have done as much in a day. -Thirty-three graves collected, with over twenty nearly complete skeletons, -and all restored so that I had to take considerable care not to go -again into some already emptied. But this place should be dug -over. The tundra in a few years swallows up everything on the -surface. It literally buries or assimilates bones and all other objects, -the moss and other vegetation with probably blown dust covering -them very effectively. Finding anything below the surface and that -even a foot or more, as was actually experienced, means something -quite different under these conditions than it might elsewhere.</p> - -<p>Monday, July 12. Slept fairly well and feel refreshed, but the -eye still badly swollen. The Eskimo believe, I think, I got it from -the bones. Yet they are quite sensible—a marked mental difference -between them and the Yukon Indians.</p> - -<p>Breakfast before 7—cereal, raw smoked fish, and coffee. Then -pack. At the store buy empty gasoline boxes, but no nails to be had, -and no packing. Lunch at 1—macaroni, raw smoked fish, sauerkraut, -coffee; then pack again, fix boxes, break old ones to get nails, -even pull a few unnecessary ones from the boards of the house, go -see my man's wife, a hopeless consumptive, and at 6 through with all -except cleaning. Another fair work-day, 12 tightly packed boxes. -Then clean up, burn rubbish, and ready for departure early to-morrow.</p> - -<p>Supper—macaroni, raw smoked fish, greengage plums, a little -sauerkraut, and coffee. Then a little walk outside, watch Eskimo -women and children jump the rope (hilariously, but awkwardly), -and go in to catch up with my notes. Nobody scowls at me, so that -although they probably fear me as a "medicine man" they are not -at all resentful for what I did yesterday. They are grown-up children, -much more tractable than the Indians. But otherwise they -show so much in common with the Indian that the more one sees of -them the more he grows drawn to the belief of the original (and that -not so far distant) identity of their parentage. It seems the Eskimo -and the Indian are after all no more than two diverging fingers -of one and the same hand; or they were so a bit farther back. -Mental differences there are, yet these are no more than may be found -in different tribes of the Indians or different groups of other races.</p> - -<p>Tuesday, July 13. Rise a little after 6. Eye still sore after -Sunday's gnat and sweat and dirt; must use boric acid frequently. -An Eskimo actually said yesterday it was a sickness from touching -the bones. A little breakfast—have no more salmon strips, so just -cereal, canned plums, and coffee. And then with the help of two -young Eskimo carry my spoils and baggage on to the tug, which has -come for me. By about 7 start. Good-by Kotlik, what little there -is of it.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_80" id="Page_80">[Pg 80]</a></span></p> - -<p>At 9 arrive at Mr. Williams's reindeer camp farther up the coast. -There are five tents and two small log houses of natives—the herders -with their families, dogs, and fish racks; and three whites, Mr. -Williams, owner of the boat and of most of the herd of about -8,000 animals; Mr. Palmer, of the United States Biological Survey; -and a Dane, Mr. Posielt, here for the Biological Survey of Canada. -All are already at the corral some distance over the hill, branding, -counting, etc., the great reindeer herd, which belong to several -owners.</p> - -<p>A short walk along the shore brings me in sight of the herd. -The animals can be heard grunting a good distance off. The herd -is so large and so compact that it looks like a forest of horns. The -animals keep on moving in streams, but remain in the herd. They -go to the shore to drink some of the salty water, instead of salt. -All is of interest, even though the branding, the cutting off of big -slices from the ears, and castration, is rather cruel.</p> - -<p>At lunch, for the first time, reindeer meat, a select steak. It is -tender and decidedly good. Has no special flavor and is poor in -fat, but tender and good.</p> - -<p>Afternoon, once more to the corral, and then various things, -including a photograph of a little impromptu native group.</p> - -<p>Supper once more on reindeer meat. This time prepared as a -sort of a stew with onions—again very good. But we were to leave -after supper for St. Michael and I see no intention to that effect. -Instead they all go once more to the corral to continue the work -until about 11 p. m. So I have to settle for the night, with some -hope that we may leave in the morning. We sleep four side by -side in a tent 10 feet wide. Luckily they had a spare clean blanket -or two, and but one of the three snores, and he like a lady; also -the weather has cleared and is warmer, so the night is fairly good.</p> - -<p>Wednesday, July 14. Morning bright, calm. Breakfast, and all -hurry off to corral without even any explanation—just a few casual -words, from which I understand that we shall not go. So I write -whole forenoon, though feeling none too good about the delay. -Had I my own boat, as one should have in this country, all would be -different. As it is I am utterly helpless. At lunch speak to Mr. -Williams; and though not much willing, he half promises that we -may go to St. Michael to-night.</p> - -<p>Afternoon. Walk 8 miles along the beach, to a cape and back, -looking in vain for traces of human habitation and collecting along -the beach what this offers, which outside of some odd, flat, polished -stones is but little. Come back near 6—soon after supper—and hear -with much satisfaction that, after all, we will go to-night to St. -Michael.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_81" id="Page_81">[Pg 81]</a></span></p> - -<p class="center">RÉSUMÉ</p> - -<p>So ends the Yukon and its immediate vicinity. What has been -learned?</p> - -<p>1. The great and easily navigable river, extending for many hundreds -of miles from west to east, could not but have played a material -part in the peopling of Alaska, and quite probably in that -of the continent, and all human movements along it must have left -some material remains. It seems, therefore, a justified inference that -the valley of the Yukon harbors human remains of much scientific -value.</p> - -<p>2. Such remains, judging from the present conditions, were left -exclusively along the banks of the river, on the flood-safe elevated -platforms of the banks, and especially about the mouths of the -tributaries of the Yukon of those times.</p> - -<p>3. But the banks and mouths of the past are seldom, if ever, those -of to-day. The river, with its currents, storms, and ice pack every -spring, is changing from year to year. It is ever cutting and eroding -in places, and building bars and islands or covering with flood silts -in others. In many stretches no one can be sure where the banks -were 500 or 1,000 years ago, not to speak of earlier periods.</p> - -<p>4. The banks and islands of to-day, therefore, are for the most -part recent formations, in which it would be useless to expect anything -very ancient. And there is nothing like the successive ocean -beaches at Nome and elsewhere, which would guide exploration.</p> - -<p>5. The right hilly side of the river alone seems to offer some hope -of locating some more ancient sites and remains; yet it is quite -certain that the river ran once far to the left, for all the vast flats -on that side are of its construction; so that the more ancient remains -of man may lie in that direction. But there everything is, -from the point of view of archeology, a practically unexplorable -jungle and wilderness, and there is no one there who might make -accidental discoveries.</p> - -<p>6. It would seem that the best hope for the archeologist along the -Yukon, so far as the more ancient remains are concerned, lies along -the tributaries of the stream, and that particularly at the old limits -of the more recently made lands.</p> - -<p>7. Nevertheless the banks of the Yukon as they are now are not -wholly barren. Up from Tanana, at the Old Station, probably about -Ruby and Nulato, about Kaltag and the Greyling River, at Bonasila, -Holy Cross and Ghost Creek, and at the Mountain village, Dog -village, Russian Mission, and doubtless a number of other sites, they -contain both cultural and skeletal remains that, if recovered, will be -invaluable to the anthropological history of these regions.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_82" id="Page_82">[Pg 82]</a></span></p> - -<p>8. The line of demarcation between the Indians of the Yukon and -the Eskimo, outside of language, is indefinite. Traces of old Eskimo -admixture are perceptible among the Indians far up the river, and -the cultures of the two peoples in many respects merge into each -other; while among the Eskimo of the lower river and farther on -there are physiognomies that it would be hard to separate from the -Indian. Whether all this means simply extensive past mixture, or -whether, as would seem, the Alaska Indians as a whole are nearer -physically to the Eskimo than are the tribes in the States, remains -to be determined. Among the Athapascan Mescalero Apache, who -have reached as far south as New Mexico, a somewhat Eskimoid -tinge to the face, especially in young women, was by no means very -unusual 25 years ago when I studied this tribe. This problem will -be touched upon again in this volume.</p> - -<p>9. All along the Yukon, from near Tanana (Old Station) to the -mouth of the river, in the Indian and in the Eskimo region, there prevailed -the same type of winter house, namely, a largely subterranean -room with a subterranean tunnel or corridor entrance; and also a -similar type of summer dwelling, formerly a skin, now a canvas, tent. -The winter dwellings were built within of stout posts and covered -with birch bark and sod, looking from outside much like the present-day -Navaho hogan; while the pits left by them remind one of the -southwestern "pit dwellings," the kashims of the Pueblo kivas. As -a hogan, so these largely subterranean dwellings along the Yukon -had a smoke-air-and-light hole in the center of the top, a fireplace -in the middle of the floor, and benches (of heavy hewn planks in the -north) along the sides. Each village, furthermore, had at least one -larger structure of similar nature, the "kashim," or communal house. -All this may still be traced more or less plainly on the dead sites -along the Yukon, and houses as well as a kashim of this type were -seen at Kotlik and Pastolik, at the mouth of the river.</p> - -<p>10. The native industry of the river presents also much similarity, -though there are differences.</p> - -<p>Pottery, of much the same type and decoration, was made at -least as far as the lower middle Yukon.</p> - -<p>Stone implements were made and used all along the river, and -were much alike. But the double-grooved, cupid-bow ax of the -Yukon Indian, hafted in the center and used for chipping rather -than cutting, is lower down replaced by the same ax, in which one -end has been broken off (or has not been finished), and which is -hafted as an adze; or by oblong quadrilateral flat axes which have -not been found up the river.</p> - -<p>The peculiar and apparently very primitive stone industry of -Bonasila is, it seems, just a development of local conditions—nature<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_83" id="Page_83">[Pg 83]</a></span> -of most available stone, and essentially hunting habit of the people -that resulted in many skins which called for numerous scrapers. -Nevertheless the site deserves a thorough further exploration.</p> - -<p>There was apparently not much basketry along the river, the place -of the baskets being taken by the birch-bark dishes of the Indian and -the kantág or ingeniously made wooden dish of the Eskimo part of -the river.</p> - -<p>Canoes among the Yukon Indians were mainly of birch bark, -while the Eskimo had mainly skin canoes.</p> - -<p>11. Neither the Indians nor the Eskimo of the Yukon practiced -deformation of the head or of any other part of the body, or dental -mutilation. The Indians as well as the Eskimo occasionally pierced -the septum of the nose, for nose pieces, while the Eskimo cut on -each side a slit in the lower lip for the introduction of labrets. The -Eskimo cut their hair short in a characteristic way, reminding -strongly of certain monks; the Indians left their hair long. But -at Anvik the Indians both cut their hair and wore labrets. They -also used the wooden dish.</p> - -<p>12. From all the preceding it appears that there must have been -long and intensive contacts between the Yukon Eskimo and Indians; -that, through war or in peace, they became mutually admixed; and -that there were mutual cultural transmissions.</p> - -<p>13. No further light for the present could be gained on the origin, -antiquity, or early migrations of the Yukon Indian. It was determined, -however, that he represents but one main physical type, and -that this type is the same as that of the Indians of the Tanana and -most other Alaskan Indians of the present time.</p> - -<p>14. Exceptional skeletal remains were washed out from the bank -at Bonasila. They are of Indians (?), but appear to be not those -of the Yukon Indian of to-day. They present a problem which is -to be solved by further exploration of the site.</p> - -<p>15. The Eskimo of the lower parts of the river are in general -better preserved and more coherent than the Indians. They are -more tractable people and are taking more readily to work and -civilization.</p> - -<p>16. These Eskimo show, in the majority of cases, fairly typical -Eskimo physiognomies. But their heads are not as those of the -northern and eastern members of the race. The head is less narrow, -less high, and has but now and then a suggestion of the scaphoid -form that is so characteristic of the Greenland, Labrador, or northern -Eskimo cranium; also, the angles of the jaws are less bulging -and the lower jaws themselves do not appear so heavy.</p> - -<p>17. The Yukon Eskimo burials are in all essentials much like -those of the Indians up the river. Here again a cultural connection<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_84" id="Page_84">[Pg 84]</a></span> -is very evident, in this case there having in all probability been an -adaptation of methods by the Eskimo from the Indians.</p> - -<p>18. Archeological prospects along the delta flats occupied by the -Eskimo appear very limited.</p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">St. Michael</span></h3> - -<p>Thursday, July 15. In the morning, after a good trip, reach St. -Michael—quite a town from a distance, with many boats on the -shore in front of it; but soon find that it is largely a dead city and -ships' graveyard, not harbor. With the gold rush over, and the Government -railroad from Seward to the Tanana, men and business -have departed. Before the summer is over most of the large buildings -and the fine large boats are to be demolished, and there will -be left but a lonely village.</p> - -<p>Unload my collections on the old dock. The postman kindly comes -down from his place, which, with Mr. Williams's store, is far up on -the hill above the harbor, the boxes are weighed and stamped for -the parcel post, and relieved of them I go to the hotel and spend the -day in visiting the teacher, the marshal, Mr. Williams's store, where -I see a whole lot of recent Eskimo ceremonial masks decorated with -colors and feathers, and the wireless station to send a message to the -Institution. All native (Eskimo) character is almost gone from the -place, what remains being mainly civilized mix bloods; and also -little, if anything, remains to be collected, particularly now when all -vacant land is thickly overgrown with grass and weeds. An occasional -skull appears, one having been seen recently on the beach and -one on Whale Island, but there is little besides, though things could -be found doubtless by excavation.</p> - -<p>Items of interest in Mr. Williams's store, and also in that of the -N. C. Co., are various articles cut handsomely by the Eskimo -from walrus ivory, both fresh and "fossil" (old and nicely discolored). -There are beads, napkin rings, hairpins, cigar and cigarette -holders, and other objects, generally exceedingly well made and -decorated. It is, of course, well known that the Eskimo are very apt -in this work; it is not, however, so well known that every island -or village has certain specialties and types of decoration. This is -so true that an observer before long can tell in many instances just -where a given article has been made.</p> - -<p>The fossil ivory industry is, it was soon learned, becoming a -serious detriment to archeological work in these regions; of which, -however, more later.</p> - -<p>During the day I find that a small boat, the <em>Silver Wave</em>, belonging -to Lomen Bros., will leave St. Michael for Nome that same evening. -As this suits me very well I engage a berth on the boat, help<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_85" id="Page_85">[Pg 85]</a></span> -to get my baggage on deck over a broken landing place, and get -ready to depart.</p> - -<p>At 6 leave St. Michael. The <em>Silver Wave</em> is a tub—too short—am -told if it were of proper length they would have to have more help. -Result—very unsteady. Fortunately the weather is fair, and the -captain gives me a berth in his cabin. I had originally a stateroom, -right in the back, with three bunks or beds, so small that one could -barely get into the beds; but there came two mix-breed women with -a girl and so they turned me out and put me in the "hole"—seven -bunks in an ill-ventilated cabin under the deck in the stern of the -ship. She is only about 60 feet long by about 15 broad. As it is I -have a bunk in what would have been a well-ventilated little cabin, -had it not been for rough weather which came on later in the night -and which necessitated the closing of the window.</p> - -<p>Friday, July 16. The rougher weather came and the boat began -to pitch and roll. Luckily I slept for the most part. At about 6.30 -the captain called me to breakfast with him. I got up rather groggy -from the sea, but managed to wash my face and get to the little -messroom, where the cook started to bring eggs, bacon, coffee, etc.—and -then I had enough and had all I could do to reach my bunk -again without getting seasick. I was kept on the verge of it until -after 10, when we arrived off Nome.</p> - -<p>This, however, meant no relief. There was no bay, no dock, no -shelter for even such a small boat, and so we anchored a few hundred -yards off the shore along which stretch the long line of unpainted -(mostly), weather-beaten frame dwellings of this northern capital.</p> - -<p>By this time I barely keep my feet, but they lowered a heavy rowboat, -and several of us—there were four other men passengers—are -helped to tumble in. I get back, and to steady myself catch hold -of the borders of the boat, only for this the next moment to be -dashed against the larger boat with my hand between. It was almost -too much, the seasickness and added to it the very painful hurt. -Fortunately the fingers were not crushed, just bruised badly—they -might easily have been mashed to a pulp.</p> - -<p>They row us in and we tumble out on the sand, and there is no one -to receive anybody or take any notice. However, after a while there -comes accidentally an old two-seated Ford. Three of us crowd in, -leave the few bulkier things we brought along on the beach unguarded, -and are driven to the other end of the town, to the Golden -Gate Hotel.</p> - -<p>This is a big old frame building, out of plumb in several directions. -There is no one in the spacious lobby. However, after a time some -one, not looking much like a proprietor—more like a groom at work—comes -out from somewhere and without much ado shows us each to a -room. Mine smells musty, old sweat and blankets and mould, and<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_86" id="Page_86">[Pg 86]</a></span> -looks out on a dilapidated tin roof—must ask for another. Finally -get one "front" for $3—the other was only $2.50. Musty too, but -fairly large, and with a double bed with, at last again, clean covers.</p> - -<p>Unshaven—in the khaki worse for rain and work—with fingers -so sore they can not bear a touch, feverish, and head still dizzy—I go -to lunch. On my way stop at Coast Guard building—no one there; -at the Roads Commission—office empty; at the Customs—not a soul. -But at the courthouse they tell me where Judge Lomen sometimes -lunches, and so I go there. It is near by—nothing here is far distant—and -so I soon sit at Mrs. Niebeling's, a justly famed Nome's -"for everybody," at a clean table and to a big civilized dinner. -Order reindeer roast—find it this time, in my condition, not much to -boast of—one could hardly tell it from similarly done beef—and -begin on the coffee when in comes a young man, asks me if I am the -doctor, and introduces himself as Mr. Alfred Lomen, the judge's -son; and in a minute or two in comes the judge himself, a kindly -man of something over 70. It all makes me feel a lot better, though -still weak. Have rest of lunch together and talk, but do not get -very far in anything that interests me; but the judge takes me to -the Catholic Fathers here, who have an orphanage somewhere near -where I want next to go, and leaves me with Father Post. The -father is kindly, but himself does not know much, and so makes -arrangements for me to meet next day Father Lafortune, who works -among the Eskimo.</p> - -<p>Then I go once more to the Coast Guard building and meet Captain -Ross, in charge. The <em>Bear</em>, I learn, has just arrived here, and -is soon going north. She is my godsend, evidently. So Captain -Ross sends me over to see Captain Cochran. The meeting is good, -and I have a promise to be taken to the cape and some other stations. -But the <em>Bear</em> goes first to coal at St. Michael, and then will make -a visit to St. Lawrence Island. So I propose to go to Teller first, -see what I can of the Chukchee-Eskimo "battle field" near there, -and be taken from there by the <em>Bear</em>. The priests give me some -hope for getting there over an inland route, but later on tell me one -of the boats of the orphanage which is located in that region is away -and the other has broken down, so that there will be no possibility -of making the trip through the Salt Lake and to Teller. But the -<em>Victoria</em> (the Seattle boat to come to-night) will go to Teller. Unfortunately, -if weather is rough or there are no passengers she will -not stop at Nome, so all is again uncertain. The <em>Silver Wave</em> goes -northward next Monday, but I have a dread of her. All of which -is put down merely to show slightly what an explorer without a -boat of his own may expect in these regions.</p> - -<p>Nome, Saturday, July 17. Poor night again—it surely seems to -be the fashion in Alaska. The <em>Victoria</em> came at night (or what<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_87" id="Page_87">[Pg 87]</a></span> -should be night). The ramshackle big frame hotel, with partitions -so thin that they transmit every sound, got about 40 guests, and next -room to mine came to be occupied by two women who had visitors, -female and male, were taken out for a ride after 12 and returned -about 2 a. m. One of them, or their visitor, had a perpetual vocal -gush, the others chimed in now and then, and a strong male voice -added the bass from time to time, with old Fords noisily coming -and going outside, and people going up and down the stairs. So -sleep for some hours was out of the question. And there was nothing -to do about it.</p> - -<p>After breakfast went to meet Father Lafortune, a Catholic missionary -priest to the Eskimo, who speaks their language well and -who promised to accompany me to their habitations; and together -we spent the forenoon on one side of the town, among the natives -of the Diomedes, and most of the afternoon on the other end among -the people from King Island. It was a good experience, resulting -in seeing a good many of the Eskimo and getting some information, -a few photographs, and quite a few old specimens. Then we went to -the parsonage, where I got a few good photos from Father Lafortune's -collection. He is a matter-of-fact, always ready to help, -natural he-man, rather than a priest and teacher, and a great practical -helper to the natives, who all are his friends.</p> - -<p>Also saw Judge Lomen, arranged for lecture to-morrow, saw -Captain Ross about the <em>Bear</em>, and various other people; but there -is not much to be obtained here about old sites and specimens. Telegraphed -Institution, and also to the Russian consul at Montreal for -permission to visit the Great Diomede Island. Evening packing. -Natives bring walrus ivory, some excellent pieces. Weather whole -day cloudy, threatening, occasional showers, cool but not cold.</p> - -<p>Sunday, July 18. Heavy sleep 10 p. m. to 7 a. m., regardless of -a typewriter going in the next room and the women (now quieter, -however) on the other side.</p> - -<p>Forenoon spent in talking with people and attending a little -service, for the natives mainly, at the Catholic Church of Fathers -Post and Lafortune. Poor, simple, but sincere and interesting.</p> - -<p>After lunch more consultations, then a visit to bank where they -smelt gold dust (even to-day), and then a lecture on "The Peopling -of America," at the courthouse. Well attended, and many came to -shake hands after. Then a dinner, with examination of a number -of interesting and valuable specimens, at Judge Lomen's. Among -other objects there is a duplicate, in ivory, of the broken double ax -from the Yukon, the two grooves and even the break being well -represented. Evening—examination of specimens at Reverend Baldwin's. -Cloudy, cool, threatening, but stormy weather abating.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_88" id="Page_88">[Pg 88]</a></span></p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">About Nome</span></h3> - -<p>Due to the delay with the <em>Bear</em>, the next few days until July 23 -were spent at and about Nome. They proved more profitable than -was expected. Numbers of interesting specimens were found in the -possession of some of the dealers, and more of those of scientific -value were secured either through gift or by purchase for the -National Museum. These collections consisted of objects of stone—i. e., -spear points, knives, axes, etc.—but above all of utensils, -spear points, effigies, etc., some of them of remarkable artistry and -decoration, were made of walrus ivory that through age has turned -"fossil."</p> - -<p>Among the stone objects were several axes made of the greenish, -hard nephrite which came from the "Jade Mountain" on the Kobuk -River. The objects from fossil ivory came principally from the St. -Lawrence Island, the Diomede Islands, Cape Wales, unknown parts -of the nearer Asiatic coast, and here and there from the Seward -Peninsula.</p> - -<p>A large majority of these objects are now collected by the natives -themselves, who assiduously excavate the old sites, and are sold at -so much per pound as "fossil ivory" to crews of visiting boats or to -merchants at Nome and elsewhere, to be worked up into beads, -pendants, and other objects of semi-jewelry that find ready sale -among the whites.</p> - -<p>In addition a certain part of these objects is reserved by the -natives, especially those of the Diomede Islands, and worked up by -themselves. The more striking the coloration of the ivory, the more -desirable it is for the beads, etc., and the less chance of the object, -regardless of its archeological or artistic value, to be preserved. -The most artistic pieces, nevertheless, are usually disposed of separately, -bringing higher prices than could be obtained for beads.</p> - -<p>In this way hundreds of pounds collectively of ancient implements, -statuettes, etc., are recovered each year from the old sites on -both the Asiatic and the American side of the Bering Sea, and are -cut up, their scientific value being lost. Most of the fossil ivory, -fortunately, consists of objects which, though showing man's workmanship, -are of relatively little scientific value; nevertheless it was -seen repeatedly that specimens of real archeological value and artistic -interest would be destroyed if their color and texture made them suitable -for some of the higher-priced jewelry.</p> - -<p>The Eskimo, as repeatedly found later, have not the slightest hesitation -about excavating the old sites, and whatever they can not -use, which as a rule includes animal and human bones, and in fact -everything else except stone tools and ivory, is left in the excavated -soil and lost. The amount of destruction thus accomplished by the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_89" id="Page_89">[Pg 89]</a></span> -women, children, and even men each year is large and promises to -grow from year to year as long as the supply lasts. This means that -unless scientific exploration of these old sites is hastened there will -be little left before long to study.</p> - -<p>The fossil ivory trade has become such that many of the officers -and the crews even of the visiting vessels, including the revenue cutters, -engage in buying the ivory from the natives and cutting it up in -their spare time into beads and other ornaments. A captain of a well-known -boat who with his crew visited in the summer of 1926 a small -island on which there is an extensive frozen refuse heap containing -many bones and tools of the natives who once occupied the place, -exclaimed, "Gad, there's $50,000 of ivory in sight."</p> - -<p>The boat crew took away about "2 bushels" of it, or all that could -be removed from the extensive frozen pile. I saw some of this ivory -later, all cut up, but with a number of the pieces still showing old -human handiwork, and some beads made of other parts of the lot -were brought later to my office in Washington.</p> - -<p>If American archeology and ethnology are to learn what they need -in these regions it is absolutely essential that they take early steps -for a proper exploration of the old sites, besides which every effort -should be made by the intelligent traders, missionaries, teachers, and -officials to save the more artistic and characteristic pieces of human -workmanship in the old ivory, and bring them with such data as -may be available to the attention of scientific men or institutions. -It would in fact be of much value, and the writer has suggested -this to the Governor of Alaska, to establish a local museum at Nome, -where such objects could be gathered and saved to science.</p> - - -<h4>ABORIGINAL REMAINS</h4> - -<p>The coast of which Nome is now the human center, up to Cape -Wales, together with the nearer islands, was occupied by the Maiglemiut -(Zagoskin), or Mahlemut (Dall et al.) subdivision of the -Eskimo. They were a strong group, and great traders. During -the Russian times the Aziags, from what is now the Sledge Island, -with probably others from the coast, visited yearly for trading purposes -as far as St. Michael and the Yukon, while the Wales people -were known to trade up to fairly recently as far as Kotzebue, both -at the same time having trading connections with Asia.</p> - -<p>Of these natives, with the exception of those at Wales, there -remains but little. On Sledge Island there are only two dead villages, -and on the coast from Port Clarence to far east of Nome there -is not a single existing native settlement. A few remnants of the -people live in Nome, but they have lost all individuality.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_90" id="Page_90">[Pg 90]</a></span></p> - -<p>Dead sites are known to exist from west to east, at Cape Wooley; -at the mouth of the Sonora or Quartz Creek; at the mouth of the -Penny River—some natives are said to still go to fish there in summer; -at the mouth of a small river 3 miles east of Nome; both west -(a larger village) and east (a small site) of Cape Nome; and 18 -miles east of Nome (the "Nook" village).</p> - -<p>Most of these sites have been peopled within the memory of the -oldest inhabitants.</p> - -<p>Thanks to the kind aid of the Reverend Doctor Baldwin, I was -able to visit several of the sites east of Nome, more particularly the -Nook village, and it was still possible to find two skeletons and a -skull on these sites.</p> - -<p>The Nook site must have been one of considerable importance. -It was an especially large village, or rather two near-by villages, in -one of which I counted upward of 30 depressions, remnants of the -semisubterranean houses with vestibules, such as are elsewhere described -from the Yukon.</p> - -<p>Here a clear illustration was had of what changes on sites of this -nature may be wrought in a short time by the elements.</p> - -<p>Fifteen years ago, I was assured, there were still many burials -and skeletal remains scattered along the coast near the Nook village. -Then in 1913 came a great southwestern storm, which at Nome -ripped up the cemetery and carried away some coffins with bodies, -scattering them over the plains in the vicinity. Since that storm -not a vestige remains of any of the burials or bones near the large -Nook village. On prolonged examination I found nothing but sands -overgrown with the usual coast vegetation. Everything had been -carried away or buried and the pits of the houses were evidently -themselves largely filled in.</p> - -<p>The burials on this coast west of Golovnin Bay were evidently all -of a simpler nature than those on Norton Sound and the Yukon. -There is plenty of driftwood, but for some reason this was not hewn -into boards with which to make burial boxes. The dead were merely -laid upon and covered with the driftwood, though this was done, -as later seen on Golovnin Bay, rather ingeniously. One of the two -skeletons found near Cape Nome, an adult male, lay simply among -the rocks on the lower part of the slope of the hill.</p> - -<p>Old sites, though often small, may be confidently looked for along -all these coasts in the shelter of every promontory, at the mouth of -each stream, and on the spits which separate the ocean from inland -lagoons (as in the case of the Nook village).</p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">Nome—Bering Strait—Barrow</span></h3> - -<p>Friday, July 23. Received word to be on the <em>Bear</em>, which arrived -yesterday, before 10 o'clock this morning. Due to the shallow<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_91" id="Page_91">[Pg 91]</a></span>ness -of the water the boat, though drawing only 18 feet, stands -far out from the shore and makes a pretty sight, looks also quite -large in these waters where there is nothing above a few hundred -tons.</p> - -<p>Am soon at home. The captain's cabin, with three beds, is nicely -furnished, but has the disadvantage of being situated at the very -rear of the vessel, above and beyond the screw. There is another -passenger, a teacher-nurse for Barrow. I take the isolated bunk on -the right, and this becomes my corner for the next six weeks. -Toward 11 a. m. the wind begins to freshen, soon after which we -leave for St. Lawrence Island. After midday the wind increases -considerably, waves rise, and the <em>Bear</em> begins to plunge. Before -the afternoon is over the wind blows a half gale and we are being -tossed about a great deal. Have to take to bed. The boat is being -tossed up and down and in all directions. Resist in vain, then at -last become ill, and this passes into a long spell of about the worst -seasickness I have ever endured. There were a good many sick on -the <em>Bear</em> that evening and night.</p> - -<p>Saturday, July 24. Wind and water slowly quieting down, and -the boat is approaching Cape Chibukak off St. Lawrence Island, -where is located the main of the two villages of the island, known -as Gambell. The <em>Bear</em> gradually approaches to within about a -half mile of the shore, where we anchor. The water here is quieter, -and before long a large baidar (native skin boat) is shoved off from -the land and approaches our boat. This is the usual procedure -when the sea permits. There are no docks, and closer in there is -danger from rocks and shallows. There are a number of natives -in the boat, together with the local teacher, and each one, including -the teacher, carries a smaller or larger bag of fossil ivory, various -articles made of fresh ivory, and some other objects, for sale to -the officers and crew of the boat. They climb on our deck, where -they evidently feel quite at home, and in a few minutes carry on -a busy trade and barter with everyone. I succeed in getting a -fine fossil ivory pick; but the main supply had evidently been preempted -and I only see it later in the possession of the officers, who -kindly let me have what is of less value to them and more to -science.</p> - -<p>Some of the Eskimo bring, in addition to the ivory, other articles -for sale—fish, birds, and the meat of the reindeer, which are for the -ship's messes and constitute very welcome additions to the diet. -Besides all this the natives also frequently bring skins of foxes and -even bear, which also find buyers. In return the boats carry off the -mail and such supplies as they have obtained by barter or purchase. -These visits are mutually enjoyable as well as profitable occasions,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_92" id="Page_92">[Pg 92]</a></span> -and afford one the opportunity of seeing many of the natives, even -if prevented, as in this case, from visiting their village.</p> - -<p>The Eskimo impress one here as in every further locality as a -lively, cheerful, and intelligent lot, good traders, and advancing -in many ways in civilization. The latter is perhaps especially true -of the St. Lawrence Eskimo, who from what was seen now and -later must have had especially good missionaries and teachers as -well as a considerable freedom from bad influences from the outside.</p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">Savonga</span></h3> - -<p>About 40 miles east-southeast of Gambell is the second and smaller -village of the St. Lawrence Island, known as Savonga, which was -the object of our next visit. It was here that we were to buy two -or three reindeer carcasses, the animals being killed and dressed for -us by the natives in an astonishingly short time. The little village -is prettily situated on the green flat of the elevated beach. It consists -of less than a dozen modern small frame dwellings. One of -these, that of the headman, Sapilla (who regrettably died during the -following winter), is of two stories—a unique feature for an Eskimo -dwelling in these waters. Here we were visited by three boats and -the previous scenes were repeated, only, due to the proximity of -a rich old site, there were more objects of old ivory.</p> - -<p>The captain made me acquainted with Sapilla, whom I found -remarkably white-man-like in behavior. Then the ship doctor, not -feeling very well after yesterday's storm, filled my pockets with -tooth forceps and I was taken to the shore, to see the women and -children who would not venture out and to attend to any tooth extraction -that might be needed.</p> - -<p>We were considerably farther from the shore than even at Gambell, -but I was sent on one of our motor boats and so it did not take -long to land. Upon landing we came to bright and clean and -smiling little groups of women and children, full of color in their -cotton dresses, and I was soon in one of their houses. All these -dwellings were built by the Eskimo themselves, and it was a most -gratifying surprise to find them as clean and wholesome as any -similar dwelling of whites could be. Moreover, these houses were -furnished with stoves, chairs, tables, crockery and other utensils -exactly as if they were those of a good class of whites, with the smell -of the seal, which as a rule is so clinging to and characteristic of -the Eskimo house, barely perceptible.</p> - -<p>It was a busy and interesting hour that I spent at Savonga. I -saw probably all the inhabitants that were at home; pulled five -teeth—the teeth of these quite civilized people are no more as sound -and solid as were those of their fathers and mothers—and found and<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_93" id="Page_93">[Pg 93]</a></span> -purchased cheaply many smaller objects of fossil ivory, which they -excavate from a near-by old site.</p> - -<p>These objects are obtained from an old village located on the coast -about 4 miles farther east, on or near the North Cape, visible from -our boat. The natives excavate in this site as far as it thaws every -summer, and find many objects. They, moreover, make an occasional -trip to the two little rocky Punuk islands located about 12 -miles south of the East Cape of the St. Lawrence, which, though -accurately charted by the Russians as early as 1849, yet until the -summer of 1926 remained practically unknown. On one of these -islands there is now known to exist an extensive frozen refuse heap, -containing large quantities of old ivory implements as well as other -objects of scientific interest.</p> - -<p>The land visit was a great tonic after the wild and mean preceding -night, and I did not relish at all the <em>Bear's</em> whistle calling us -away. What a great thing it would be if a revenue cutter could for -just one season be given to science!</p> - -<p>Sunday, July 25. Left St. Lawrence 9.30 last night, sea quieting. -We are now passing, on our right, King Island, isolated rocky mass. -Day fair, cool, water getting smooth.</p> - -<p>About 50 miles north one can now see plainly Cape Prince of -Wales (pl. 5, <em>a</em>), and to the left, hazy, the two Diomedes. We are -now 95 miles from St. Lawrence. On really clear days one could see -from here even the Asiatic heights. Therefore, from the latter on a -clear day one sees the Diomedes, the Cape, the highlands beyond, -and King Island, while a little farther south there is on such a day -a good view from Asia of the St. Lawrence Island. All this was in -good weather easily reached from Asia and must have been utilized -from the earliest time in passing onward from one continent to -the other.</p> - -<p>We can now see also much of the coast in the direction of Teller -and the York Mountains behind.</p> - -<p>From hour to hour there is growing on one a profound appreciation -that the Bering Sea was a most favorable amphitheater of -migration, particularly from the less hospitable Asia eastward into -America. And practically the whole trend of native movements to -this day is from Asia toward America.</p> - -<p>Later in the day, now a fine, bright summer day, arrive off Wales. -Here again anchor far out. Last year the <em>Bear</em> grounded here and -our captain is apprehensive. Wales is a straggly village—or two -villages—located on a large, flat sandy spit, dotted with water pools, -and projecting from the Seward Peninsula toward Asia. Near by -are old sites, probably of much archeological value, and in these -for some weeks now excavations have been carried on by Dr. D.<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_94" id="Page_94">[Pg 94]</a></span> -Jenness, of the Victoria Memorial Museum of Ottawa. Here also -is located an exceptionally educated and observant teacher, Mr. Clark -M. Garber.</p> - -<p>A big umiak comes to us with many natives bringing the usual -trade, and on it, much to my pleasure, are both Doctor Jenness and -Mr. Garber. Doctor Jenness asks to go with us to the Little Diomede -to do some work there. He has had encouraging experience here, -finding evidences of occupation dating many centuries back, and -has collected some valuable specimens, including a few with the -fine old curved-line decoration. Mr. Garber gives me some valuable -information about the skeletal remains of this place and engages -to collect for me, who can not leave the boat, a few boxes of these -specimens, which promise is fulfilled later.</p> - -<p>The natives are a jolly and sturdy lot, even though they bear, and -that since their earliest contacts with whites, a rather bad reputation. -That this is founded in some fact, at least, is told us in the -annals of the Russians, and is also shown by the little structure on -the hillside off which we are anchored. This has a tragic and at the -same time quaint history. It is the grave of a missionary Doctor -Thornton, who was killed, we are told, by two local young fellows. -These were apprehended, sentenced to die, and were to be shot by -their relatives, which all evidently found quite just. On the appointed -day they were taken out to the burial ground, helped to -prepare their burials, one asked yet to be allowed to go to the village -to get a drink, went and returned, and then both were shot. The -executioner of the boy who went to get the drink is said to have been -his uncle.</p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">The Diomedes</span></h3> - -<p>Late that night we leave slowly for the Diomede Islands, the -nearer of which is only about 18 miles distant. The two islands -lie, as is well known, just about in the middle of the Bering Strait. -One is known as the larger or Russian, the other as the smaller -or American Diomede. The boundary line between Russia and the -United States passes between the two. Both islands have been occupied -since far back by the Eskimo. To-day there is one small -village on the American and two small settlements on the Russian -island.</p> - -<p>July 26. Up at 5.40, breakfast 6, and off in one of our staunch -motor boats, with Jenness, for the Little Diomede. Countless birds -flying in streams about the island.</p> - -<p>The island is just a big rock, with barren flat top and steep -sides, covered where inclination permits with great numbers of larger -and smaller granite bowlders. There is neither tree nor brush here. -The village, if it deserves that name, with a school, occupies an<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_95" id="Page_95">[Pg 95]</a></span> -easier slope, facing the larger island across a strait seemingly about -a mile broad. There are but a few dwellings, due to local necessities -and conditions built above ground and outside of stone. One that -was entered showed a dark fore-room, a storage attic, and a cozy -somewhat lighted living and sleeping back room, entered through -a low and narrow entrance. The houses seem to be built on old -débris of habitations, and there are refuse heaps, one of which was -eventually worked in by Doctor Jenness, though without much -profit.</p> - -<p>The bowlder-covered slope above the village was the burial ground -of the natives. (Pl. 5, <em>b</em>.) Unfortunately most of the skeletal remains -have been collected by a former teacher and then left and lost. -With Doctor Jenness and the present teacher, himself an Eskimo, we -climb from bowlder to bowlder and collect what remains. The work -is both risky to the limbs and difficult in other respects. The large -bowlders are piled up many deep; and there being little or no soil, -there are all sorts of holes and crevices between and underneath the -stones. Deep in these crevices, completely out of sight or reach, nest -innumerable birds (the little auk), and their chatter is heard everywhere. -But into these impenetrable crevices also have fallen many -of the bones and skulls of the bodies that have been "buried" among -the bowlders, and also doubtless many of the smaller articles laid -by the bodies.</p> - -<p>The burials here were made in any suitable space among the rocks. -The body was laid in this space, without any coffin and evidently -not much clothing. About it and on the rocks above were placed -various articles. We found clay lamps, remnants of various wooden -objects, the bone end pieces of lances, and finally one or two pieces -of driftwood to mark the place. Here the bodies decayed and what -was left had either tumbled or was washed by rain into the crevices. -It was suggested, however, that much may have been taken by dogs -and foxes. Some of the skulls and here and there one of the larger -bones remained, to eventually be covered by moss and eroded. With -the help of Doctor Jenness and the teacher I was able to find five -male and seven female crania in fair condition, which will be of -much value in the study of this interesting contingent of the Eskimo.</p> - -<p>No evidence in the graveyard among the rocks of any great antiquity, -nothing more than perhaps a few scores of years. But traces -of older burials would surely be completely lost among the rocks, -though they may lie in the deep crevices and holes where they can -not be reached.</p> - -<p>Upon return am treated to a cup of good hot coffee—never can -get a real hot cup of coffee on the boat—and excellent bread, made -by the Eskimo wife of the teacher; and see his family of fine chubby<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_96" id="Page_96">[Pg 96]</a></span> -children. Can not help but kiss his girl of about 10—she is so -fresh and innocent and pretty. Obtain also from the wife of the -teacher a good old hafted "jade" ax, though she hesitates much -to part with it—it used to belong to her grandmother; and from -the teacher himself a number of interesting articles in old ivory. -Leave Doctor Jenness. Have learned to like him much, both for -his careful work and personally, in our short association; and at 11 -a. m. return to the boat.</p> - -<p>Cold, but calm and sunny. Sit on boxes at the very end of the -good old <em>Bear</em>. See Asia, the two Diomedes, and Seward Peninsula, -all in easy reach, all like so many features of a big lake. Pass around -Greater Diomede.</p> - -<p>There never could have been any large settlement on the Diomede -Islands—they are not fit for it. The Great Diomede has just two -mediocre sites, which are occupied now each by about half a dozen -dwellings. A small old settlement, a few stone houses, has also -once existed, I am told, on the elevated top of the larger island opposite -the Little Diomede. On the latter only the one visited—everywhere -else the steep slopes or walls come right down into the water, -and there is even no landing possible (or only a precarious one at -best) except where we landed. The old natives of the Little Diomede -are said to have believed that another village had once existed farther -out from the present site and that it has become submerged. The -evidence cited (told by the native teacher) is not conclusive, and -no indication of such a settlement could be seen from the beach. But -in front and possibly beneath the native houses, in the old refuse, -there may be remnants of older dwellings.</p> - -<p>Just passed from Monday to Tuesday, and then back to Monday, -all in a few hours—the day boundary. We are now just north of the -Bering Strait and see all beautifully, in moderate bluish haze.</p> - -<p>A grand panorama of utmost anthropological interest. A big lake, -scene of one of the main migrational episodes of mankind. Sea -just wrinkling some, day calm, mostly sunny, mildly pleasant, -with an undertone of cold.</p> - -<p>How trivial feel here the contentions about the possibilities of -Asiatic migrations into America. There can be no such problem -with those who have seen what we now are witnessing. Here is a -great open pond which on such days as this could be traversed by -anyone having as much as a decent canoe. As a matter of fact it -has always been and is still thus traversed. (Pl. 6, <em>a</em>.) The Chukchee -carried on a large trade with America, so much so that we find -the Russians complaining of their interfering with their trade. -(Pl. 6, <em>b</em>, <em>c</em>.) The Diomede people stand in connection on one hand -with the northeastern Asiatics and on the other hand with the whites -as far as Nome, where most of them go every summer to sell their -ivory and its products and bring back all sorts of provisions. And -in the same way the King Islanders come every summer to Nome, -on the east end of which, as the Diomedes on the west, they have -their summer habitations. (Pl. 7, <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>.) Only a year or two ago, -the natives tell, an Eskimo woman of St. Lawrence Island set out -alone in a canoe with her child to visit a cousin on the Asiatic coast, -50 miles distant, and returned safe and sound after the visit was -over.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 700px;"> -<div class="caption"><p><span class="bureau">BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY</span> <span class="plate">FORTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT PLATE 5</span><br /></p> -</div> -<img src="images/plate_5a.jpg" width="700" height="380" alt="" /> -<div class="caption"><p><em>a</em>, Cape Prince of Wales from the southeast.

But it was worth it, except for the vandalism.</p> - -<p>Pack—inadequate boxes—until 3.30 p. m. Whole collection made -last night put in order. But back and knees stiff. Weather two-thirds -fair (my own estimate), some wind, sea choppy. Lie down but -can not sleep.</p> - -<p>At 5.30 off Kotzebue. Due to shallowness of water must anchor -far out of sight. At 6 go to land in ship's larger launch. Waves -rather bad, much tossing about and spray, have to get behind the -canvas canopy that is raised over one seat. It is 15 miles from where -the <em>Bear</em> is anchored to the Kotzebue village—over two hours of (at -times) rather violent tossing up and down and sidewise. Run for -a part of the time not far from beach—a number of isolated, orderly -fish camps—lots of fish drying. Wonder at not getting seasick -again—it must be the open air or difference of movement.</p> - -<p>Kotzebue village lies around a point on a not very high, flat bank, -facing the bay of three rivers (Selavik, Kobuk, Noatak). As we approach -I count over 50 clean tents of Eskimos, about 15 frame houses -and stores, and many skin and other boats on beach or in water. -Many natives hurry to meet us.</p> - -<p>Go ashore. Thomas Berryman, the trader, with the local judge -and two or three other whites come also to meet us. After getting ac<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_99" id="Page_99">[Pg 99]</a></span>quainted -inquire about possibility of exploring the Kobuk and reaching -the Koyukuk and Yukon. But all that I learn is uncertain and -discouraging. There are but few native villages on the river, all Eskimo; -and higher up the water is rapid, necessitating much hauling -of the boat by the natives, which is costly; upon which follow three -or four days' portage. The trip would cost much, and no loads -over 40 pounds to a man could be carried.</p> - -<p>Only a few old sites hereabouts are known by those whom I have -a chance to ask. Say there is a somewhat important one at Cape -Krusenstern. Mr. Berryman has from there a big stone (slate) -lance. He also has a huge piece of serpentine, over 80 pounds in -weight, with a moderate depression in top and some cutting (old -native work), said to have been used as a lamp. Wants to keep this -and spearhead, but donates an old rusty tin box full of smaller -things and promises to obtain skulls for us; and I get a similar -promise from a man (probably one of Mr. Berryman's storekeepers) -from farther up the country.</p> - -<p>Later meet here Mr. Chance, the school superintendent of these -parts; a young and not prepossessing man, but one who steadily -improves on closer acquaintance. Learn from him of a skeleton -recently dug out from the ground under the schoolhouse.</p> - -<p>See many natives, all Eskimo, good looking, clean, and kind. -Some mix bloods, but the majority pure. Good to moderate stature, -well proportioned though not fat body, medium to somewhat lighter -brown color, physiognomies less typical Eskimo than hitherto and -often strongly like Indian. Too late and dusky to photograph.</p> - -<p>Go to see the teacher and find that the skeleton he dug out was -placed by him in an open box, pushed as far as possible under the -rafters of the floor of the schoolhouse and covered with gravel and -earth. There are four of us—start hurriedly digging for it, remove -with shovel, hoe and arms about a ton of the "filling"—and can not -reach the box. It is 10 p. m., the wind rising, officer comes and -urges me to get back to the boat. So must leave with promise that -the box will be gotten out and await me on our return from the -north. Have by this time decided the best policy will be to go -with the <em>Bear</em> as far as she may go. Load empty boxes, some packing—and -one of the young white men who have been digging with -us runs up from the distant schoolhouse announcing that they -"struck" the box. Urge him to run back as fast as he can and get it. -Luckily the postmaster and a good many others who came to see us -off delay us; also the transfer of the mail and boxes to the larger -boat. Finally, after a good many anxious looks, I see at last the -two young men appear, one with a wheelbarrow on which is the box -of bones. Bones look not very old, and Eskimoid at first sight, but<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_100" id="Page_100">[Pg 100]</a></span> -take box, which contains a good deal of gravel, carry it through the -very interested Eskimo to the boat, all get in, hurried good-bys to -everybody, and we are off.</p> - -<p>A two and a half hours' trip once more, and the last more than -half of it very rough. Such tossing and dancing and dipping and -twisting, with the spray, fortunately not cold, shooting high up at -times, or an angry wave splashing over. But the boat is large and -strong and so eventually we reach the <em>Bear</em>, which was completely -out of sight until about an hour after we started, and in a few minutes -off we go to the north. A little fruit, bed, and know nothing -more until near 7 the next morning. It was a long day—over 25 -hours in a stretch without a wink. Yet did not feel bad; the work -and good nature of people about and those met with, with some -success, are good tonics.</p> - -<p>Wednesday, July 28. All of us have to consult the calendar to be -sure of the day and date.</p> - -<p>Sort and wash Berryman's specimens—a nice lot of little things, -mainly of stone, slate, flint, etc.</p> - -<p>Then go after my bones. Find the spray made the earth and -gravel in the box thoroughly wet, so that it is necessary carefully to -excavate all the bones. Find a male, rather short-statured, typically -Eskimo. May have been a burial of the Russian times. Wire for all -details. Must dry bones. Meanwhile try to catch up with notes. -Toward evening expect to be in another village. Weather fair. -Have passed the Arctic Circle during night, but it is not cold nor in -any way strange here. Sunset coloring lasts long and passes into -that of sunrise—no real night, no stars; but moon seen late at night -and far to the south.</p> - -<p>May this weather continue, for in rough weather landing at any of -these places—there are no harbors whatever and always shallows and -bars and shoals—would be extremely risky or impossible and my -work, for which I feel ever more eager, would suffer. If only I could -see all worth seeing, and stay a little longer when I find what I am -after.</p> - -<p>We reach Kevalina. It is just a schoolhouse and about seven sod -houses. Only a native school teacher, from whom I do not get much.</p> - -<p>No remains or old site very near, but an old village, with "good -many things," exists on the Kevalina River within a few hours' distance -(by canoe) from Kevalina.</p> - -<p>Natives bring old adzes (mounted by them, however), and a harpoon -handle from the old site—bought.</p> - -<p>Spend rest of day in washing, sorting, and packing specimens.</p> - -<p>After supper am invited to the officers' room and given by Lieut. -M. C. Anderson a fine selection of old ivory harpoon heads and other<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_101" id="Page_101">[Pg 101]</a></span> -things. Many of these are from the old site on the St. Lawrence -Island, and especially from little isles off that island named Punuk. -All this strengthens the importance of those islands for regular -exploration.</p> - -<p>Thursday, July 29. In anticipation of being called up again during -the night, at Point Hope, which is evidently another important -spot for archeological exploration, for the natives are said to bring -many old articles for sale each year, I do not undress and go to bed -earlier, but have, because of the anticipation, closeness of air, and a -cat jumping on my face just as I am dozing off, a very poor night; -and no call came after all. In the morning there are cold showers, -the sky is much clouded, and the wind keeps on blowing from the -north-northwest, threatening, the officers say, to drive the ice toward -this shore, which would be bad for us. It is cool and disagreeable. -We have anchored to the south of the spit on which stands the village -and can not unload or get ashore. Nor can the natives come -here to us.</p> - -<p>The village consists of a schoolhouse, a little mission (Rev. F. W. -Goodman), an accumulation of houses, semi-subterraneans, and tents. -A few tents are also seen a good distance to the right—a reindeer -camp. Otherwise there is nothing but the long, low, sandy, and -grassy spit projecting far out into the ocean.</p> - -<p>Later. The north-northwest still blows, and so the ship has to -anchor to the south of the long spit on the point of which is the village. -Of this but little can be seen, just a few houses, and it seems -near and insignificant.</p> - -<p>The captain is evidently waiting again for the natives to come out, -and I am helpless. Finally, however, a boat is made ready and I -am taken to the shore with the mail. This is piled on the beach, and -with two officers we start to walk toward the dwellings opposite to -us, which are the mission. Heavy walking in the loose sand and -gravel of the steep beach, and as we ascend it is seen the buildings -which seemed so near to the shore are about a mile or more away.</p> - -<p>A man coming toward us—the missionary, Archdeacon Goodman. -Tell him my mission; says he has some business on the ship, but will -come, and there will be no trouble in helping me to a "good deal of -what I want," which sounds fine.</p> - -<p>In the absence of the missionary, go to see the teacher. The school -is over a mile in the direction toward the point. Find him at home -and helpful. In 15 minutes, with his aid, engage two native boys, -give two sacks to each, and send them out over the long flats (old -beaches) to pick up every skull and jaw they can find. They go -cheerfully, and we depart shortly after to see Mr. La Voy, a movie-picture -man, who has been staying here for some time making movie<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_102" id="Page_102">[Pg 102]</a></span> -pictures of the natives, and at the same time collecting all the -antiquities they could bring him. We go to see his collection, but -find him not home; has gone for mail. The rare mail in these regions -is, of course, the most important of events. So back to the school -(a good many rods from the sod house part of the native village to -the left), and then—it is now near noon—to the mission, a good -mile from the school and more from the village.</p> - -<p>Road staked on one side with whale ribs about 2 rods distance. -Flats on both sides show many parts of bleached human bones. They -are a part of the old extensive burial grounds. Unfortunately, about -two years ago the predecessor of the present missionary had most of -the skulls and bones collected and put in a hole in the new cemetery, -now seen in the distance to the right of the mission. This new -burial place is surrounded by a unique whale-rib fence. Reach mission, -but no one there. Does not look good. Try one building and -door after another—no one—learn later that the missionary has no -family. Twenty minutes to 1. Nothing remains but to go back to -the school for some lunch. So leave my raincoat, camera, and remaining -bags (expecting to do main work on the buried bones) and -hurry back to the school, which I reach just after 1, and, thanks to -their late clock, just in time for a modest lunch, but with a real hot -cup of coffee. Queer that the only genuinely hot cups of coffee I -got on this journey were furnished by Eskimo—for Mrs. Moyer, the -wife of the teacher, is an Eskimo.</p> - -<p>Then comes the mail and Mr. La Voy, and I go to see the latter's -collection.</p> - -<p>Find a mass of old and modern material, of stone, bone, and -wood. All the older things are from an old site on the point. It is -an important and large site, as found later (at least 50 houses), which -the natives (getting coffee, tea, chewing gum, chocolate, candy, etc., -for what they find) are now busy digging over and ruining for -scientific exploration. Women dig as well as men, confining themselves -to from 2 to 3 uppermost feet that have thawed; but even thus -finding a lot of specimens. Bones, of course, and other things are -left and no observation whatever on the site is made. It is a pity.</p> - -<p>Mr. La Voy donates some stone objects, mainly scrapers, and then -I go with a native he employs to the "diggings." Find much already -turned over—one woman actually digging—but very much more still -remaining. Examine everything—site evidently not ancient but of -the richest—and then return with the woman to get some of her -"cullings."</p> - -<p>On the way am called by a man whose sod house (semisubterranean) -we pass. We sit on the top of his house and soon establish -a regular trading place, with a big flat stone as a counter. One<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_103" id="Page_103">[Pg 103]</a></span> -after another the native women and men bring out a few articles, -good, bad, or indifferent, lay them on the stone, I select what I want, -lay so much money against the articles, and usually get them. -Everybody in the best of humor. The natives surely enjoy the -sport, and so do I, if only I was not hurried. Thus trade for at -least an hour until my pockets are bulging. Then once more to the -school and once more to the mission. In the latter get my things, -as nobody is there yet, Doctor Goodman having doubtless been delayed -on the boat. I hear that there are prospects of both him and -Mr. La Voy going north with us on a little vacation. Send the coat -with spare bags to the school by a native I meet, while I go to look -at the rib cemetery and photograph it. Find the bones have been -interred in its middle and a low mound raised over them, so there -is for the moment nothing to do there. Therefore go over the -plain a little farther, picking up a few odds and ends, a damaged -skull, and finally, from a fairly recent burial box, a fine skull with -its lower jaw. Then attempt to pass a pool of water and sink in -the mud to above my rubber boots, so that the icy water runs in, -wetting me thoroughly, and gurgling henceforth with every step -in the shoes. Try to get these off but can not. The feet must be -congested. So spill out all I can by raising the feet, and then do -some hard walking which takes away the cold.</p> - -<p>Evening, though no dusk approaching. Sit on gravel to empty -more water from shoes, but can still hardly get one off. And just as -I succeed I see, across another long pool, two men, one with a cap of -an officer of the ship, waving their arms, evidently signifying to -me that the time is up and I am to return. Call to them to wait. -Impossible to make them hear me or for me to hear them. All -here is elusive—enchanted-like—distances, sounds. Finally they -stop. I catch up with them after passing a broad ditch, and learn -that the ship is about to sail and they are waiting for me. My coat, -however, and collections are still at the school, over a mile away, -so once more it is necessary to hurry to the school and then back -to the ship. So things go when promises go wrong and one is -alone under a constant apprehension.</p> - -<p>The boys collected four bags full. Moreover, they undertook to -bring them toward the boat, and are bringing the last two just as -I approach the beach. There are Eskimos on the beach with dog -teams and sledges waiting to cart off what was unloaded from the -ship. Photograph one of the teams and then on into the boat and -to the <em>Bear</em> with the four bags, a box full, part of another bag, and -all pockets full of specimens. Only to learn when we reach the -boat that both Doctor Goodman and Mr. La Voy are going with -us and that the former after supper is still to go and get his things<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_104" id="Page_104">[Pg 104]</a></span> -from the mission. I have no boat to go back with, and so lose -several hours.</p> - -<p>July 30. Gloomy morning, windy, cool, sea not good. Do not -feel easy. But need to pack. One of the officers, Boatswain Berg, -lends me his short sheepskin coat, and I pack up to lunch. The sea -is getting worse. Have but little lunch and soon after have to take -to bed or would again be sick. To avoid the pitching of the end -of the boat where my bed is I go to the dispensary and lie until 6. -From 6 on the sea moderates somewhat, so that I am able to have a -little supper. After that go to officers' wardroom, play two games of -checkers with the doctor, get some more specimens from two of the -officers, and retire.</p> - -<p>When I boarded the <em>Bear</em> it became plain to me that I must earn -as much as possible the sympathetic understanding of my work by -both the officers and the crew, and so I gave two talks, one to the -officers and the other to the men, telling them of our problems in -Alaska, of the meaning and value of such collections as I was making, -and of other matters that I felt would be useful on this occasion. As -a result I had throughout the voyage nothing but the friendliest feelings -of all and their cooperation. Sincere thanks to the officers and -the crew of the <em>Bear</em>, from the captain downward.</p> - -<p>Saturday, July 31. At 4.30 a. m. suddenly a heavy bump forward, -followed by several smaller ones. Ship rises and shivers. Have -struck ice floes. Going very slowly. Further bumps at longer or -shorter intervals and occasionally the ship stops entirely. Sea -fortunately much calmer.</p> - -<p>Up at 7. We are in a loose field of ice—aquamarine-blue ice -covered with hillocks of snow, all shapes and sizes, as after a hard -winter on the Hudson, only floes mostly larger and especially deeper.</p> - -<p>Soon after breakfast hear walrus and seals had been observed on -the ice, and shortly before 9 the captain comes down hurriedly to tell -us they have just spied—they now have a man in the crow's nest up -on the foremast—a white bear.</p> - -<p>Run up—everybody pleasurably excited—to the front of the ship. -See a black-looking head of something swimming toward a large ice -floe about 500 yards in front of us. As we approach the head reaches -the floe, then a big yellowish paw comes out upon the ice, then the -shoulders, and finally the whole bear. The officers hurry forward, -each with a gun. Soon men all there. Some one fires. Bear stands -broadside watching us. The bullet goes way over. Then other -shots—still missing—water spouting high in many places. Bear -bewildered, does not know what to do, lopes off a little here and there, -stops again, looking at us, and now—we are less than 100 yards from -him it seems—a bullet strikes him above the loin—we can see him jerk<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_105" id="Page_105">[Pg 105]</a></span> -and the red spot following. He runs clumsily, but other shots follow, -some seemingly taking effect, and then he drops, first on his belly, -then, twisting, turns over on his back. A few more movements with -his paws and head, and he lies still, quite dead. Can not but feel -sorry for the poor bear, who did not know why he was being killed, -and had no chance.</p> - -<p>A motor boat is lowered and goes to get him. They find on the floe -the remains of a seal on which he fed. Tie a rope to him, drag him -into the water, tow him to the <em>Bear</em>, which has stopped and where -all stand on the bows in expectation and with all sorts of cameras, -and prepare to hoist the brute aboard. Captain says it is the second -case of this nature in 20 years. Ropes are fastened about the big -body, attached to a winch, and the big limp form is hauled up, though -not without some difficulty, due to its size and weight. All stand -about him, examine, photograph. They will let the natives at Wainwright -skin it and give them the flesh. It is a middle-sized, full-grown -male. It shows only two wounds, the one in the side and one -where the bullet passed through his mouth, knocking out one of the -canines.</p> - -<p>Cold—must put on second suit of underwear. Very gloomy, but -storm abated. No land in sight—above Cape Lombard all is flat. -It rains in that direction. We meander among the floes, now and -then bumping and shivering. Should a wind come up and blow the -ice landward we would be in danger of being closed in and stopped -or delayed.</p> - -<p>Evening. Arrive off Wainwright. Village recent—older site 20 -miles away. People the usual type of Eskimo. Visit the village, but -soon return.</p> - -<p>After supper the boat stops—fear the ice. Another passenger is -added here, Jim Allen, the local trader, with a bagful of white -fox skins and a bear skin. Conditions becoming a bit crowded.</p> - -<p>Sunday, August 1. No movement to-day. They are apprehensive -of the ice, and so we stay here, the one place of all where there is -nothing for me to do. Of course there are the natives, but with the -constant uncertainty as to when we shall start and a lack of facilities -I can not do much with them.</p> - -<p>The weather is quiet but still cloudy, though the sun may possibly -peep out. Ice seen in the offing. Would be more interesting to be -in it, as yesterday. The bear has been skinned, cut up, and we shall -try some of its flesh at noon. Rest of day quiet but still mostly -cloudy, though occasionally a little of pale, lukewarm sun. At -3.30 give lecture to the officers and fellow passengers on the subject -of evolution. Seems quite appreciated. Reading, writing, and -walking the deck fills the time. Ate a little of the bear meat—some<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_106" id="Page_106">[Pg 106]</a></span>what -tough, otherwise not much different from reindeer or even beef. -If better prepared (especially roasted on coals) would be quite -palatable.</p> - -<p>Yesterday there were several flurries of snow, none to-day, but air -cold enough to make a long stay outside disagreeable.</p> - -<p>Toward evening Captain announces that he is going to try to reach -Barrow, about 80 miles northeastward, and soon after supper we -start. He also tells me we may be there at or not long after midnight -and so to be ready, for the boat will be unable to stop more -than an hour or two. As the only place where a few skulls and -bones may be found is about 1½ miles outside of the village and it -takes a good 30 minutes to make a mile over the tundras, I shall -have to rush once more. But I am promised a man to help me.</p> - -<p>August 2. With clothes on, and anticipation, slept poorly. Ship -stopped about 1 a. m. and I imagined we were off Barrow. But on -rising find that we have gone on and then backward again, encountering -ever more ice. It is cold and foggy outside, and cloudy and -gloomy. We now meander among the big floes, now and then bump -into one until the whole ship heaves and shivers, and occasionally -the siren, stop for a while to diminish the shock. We are now on -way back to Wainwright. If we only could go as far back as Point -Hope, where there is so much of interest. I might have stayed over, -but would surely have reproached myself for missing the remainder -of the coast.</p> - -<p>Back off Wainwright, cold, windy, sky gloomy as usual.</p> - -<p>Late in the afternoon go with the trader to land, to visit the site -of an older village, about a mile down the shore. Walk along the -beach. Cold wind, raincoat stiffens. Walrus meat and blubber -chunks (slabs, etc.) along the beach at several places, also a large -skinned seal. Traces, as one nears the village, of worked stones, but -all waterworn and no finished objects. At one place in bank, about -3 feet deep, a layer of clear blue ice about 20 inches thick—strangely -pure ice, not frozen earth or even inclusion of any dirt or gravel.</p> - -<p>Village site small, along the edge of the low (about 10 feet) bluff. -Count remains of eight dwellings. Some animal bones, but nothing -else on surface or in vicinity. Burial place not seen. Companion -says there is nothing.</p> - -<p>A simple supper at the trader's, prepared by his Eskimo wife, and -good company: Doctor Smith, of the Geological Survey, with two of -his men; Jim Allen, the storekeeper, a big, good-hearted fellow; -La Voy, the big, active movie man, who knows all the gossip and -enjoys telling it with embellishment; and two men of the trader. -Menu: Soup, boiled reindeer meat, underdone biscuits, coffee.</p> - -<p>After supper go to a meeting at the school, where our missionary, -Doctor Goodman, is to talk to the natives. Large schoolroom<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_107" id="Page_107">[Pg 107]</a></span> -crowded. I talk through an interpreter—a serious disadvantage—on -cleanliness. Fine study for me on the many present, though like -elsewhere on such occasions they are mainly women and children. -Good many Indianlike faces, though cheekbones more prominent -and more flatness between them. But hair, low foreheads, eyes (except -in children where they are more superficial, less sunken, and -with more epicanthus than in Indians), lips, and other characteristics -the same as in Indians. Some of the faces are strong, many -among the younger pleasant, some of the young women handsome. -A moderate number of mix bloods, even among the adults. Color -of skin in full bloods medium to submedium brown, exactly as in -full-blood Indians along the Yukon, but cheeks more dusky red.</p> - -<p>The behavior of these people is in all important points radically -that of the Indian, but they are more approachable and open and -matter-of-fact people. More easily civilized. Good mechanics. -Less superstitious, more easily converted to white man's religion. -And good singers. Their singing at the meeting in the schoolhouse -would have shamed a good many whites in this respect.</p> - -<p>Except for epidemics, I am told, these natives would more than -hold their own in numbers. They are fecund, if conditions are -right. Sterility is rare. They marry fairly young.</p> - -<p>August 3. Still standing, though we had to pull out farther -south and away from the shore. The water was pretty rough and -I had to go to bed again, but weather moderated.</p> - -<p>We are in touch with the world through the ship's radio, but get -more trash—same all through the radio service in Alaska—than -serious news. Spend time in reading, talking; some play solitaire -games; captain and Allen play cribbage. Deck too small for any -outside games, even if it were not so cold.</p> - -<p>Ice floes floating about us, now scarce, now thicker; water splashing -against them and wearing them out into pillared halls, mushrooms, -and other strange forms. Due to their snow covering, the water -upon them, so far as it results from melting, is sweet, and in it swim -many small fishes. It snowed a bit again to-day.</p> - -<p>August 4. No change, except that the sea is somewhat calmer, -and for a while we have once more seen the sun, but it was hazy -and just mildly warm, while the same wind, from the sea, even though -now subdued, has an icy undertone. It snowed a little this morning.</p> - -<p>Thursday, August 5. Sea calm, atmosphere hazy, but the wind -has turned at last slightly offshore and the sun penetrates through -the mists, until it conquers and shines, warm and bright if not -wholly clear, once more. Ice visible only on the horizon. At 7.15 -we start on another effort to reach Barrow.</p> - -<p>Pass Wainwright, and all is well until after lunch, when fog -(though fortunately not thick) develops and the floes increase until<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_108" id="Page_108">[Pg 108]</a></span> -they are as thick as at the first attempt in this same region. Heavy -bumps and strains follow one another and the boat must often go -very slow or even stop altogether. Sometimes the heavy ship just -staggers from the impact, but the floes are generally broken by the -shock and swirl away out of our way, or scraping the ship pass -to the rear. All aboard show new interest and energy. The forced -stops and inaction were dulling even to the crew.</p> - -<p>File a wireless to be sent from Barrow. It will reach Washington -to-morrow after we shall have started on the return journey.</p> - -<p>Two dogs on board fight fiercely. An officer, the owner of one, -trying to separate them is bitten by his own through a finger.</p> - -<p>A marine, in swinging the heavy lead with which they are constantly -sounding the depth, gets the cord caught about his hand -and suffers a bad sprain with fracture.</p> - -<p>The captain's little black cat, Peter, helps to entertain us by his -antics. No wonder sailors in their often monotonous existence like -all sorts of mascots.</p> - -<p>Friday, August 6. Of course our dates got mixed, and more than -one has to consult the calendar and count. The <em>Bear</em> had to turn -back once more last night; ice too heavy. Anchored, however, not -far to south. This morning very cloudy, rainy, chilly, but wind -from near to east, and so from about 6 a. m. we are once more laboriously -on our way. Now and then a bump, heave, stagger, then again -the screw resumes its cheerful song. We are passing through the -most dangerous part of all the coast here where many vessels have -been lost, sometimes whole small fleets of whalers. But very few -come here now—we have seen but one since leaving Kotzebue. They -call this stretch "the boat graveyard."</p> - -<p>Saturday, August 7. Stalled, about 30 miles from Barrow. Anchored -in the protection of a great grounded flat, in a clear pond of -water, with ice all around it, but especially seaward, where the pack -seems solid. Some open water reported beyond it, but wind (wild) -keeps from the wrong quarter and the captain will make no further -attempt until conditions change. Of course it is cloudy again and -has rained some during the night and morning, but the temperature -is somewhat higher, so that one does not need an overcoat and -gloves, although the officers wear their sheep-lined short coats which -are nice and warm.</p> - -<p>After noon asked the captain for the skin whaleboat to explore -the shore. The latter is nearly a mile distant and shows about 60 -feet high dirt bluffs. Got the boat and went with the boatswain. -Berg, a young "hand," Weenie, and the movie man, La Voy. -Rowed with La Voy. Had a wholesome two and a half hours -exploring. Found a little stream, with traces of native deer camp<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_109" id="Page_109">[Pg 109]</a></span> -(collected two seal skulls); a moderate number of flowers and grasses -(collected some mushrooms); some fossil shells from the bluffs; and -two Eskimo burials. One of these, a woman, nearly all washed away -and lost; of the other, a man, secured the skull, jaw, one shoulder -blade and part of a diseased femur with corresponding socket -(mushroom arthritis), also the two humeri. A good specimen. Returned, -rowing again, near 4. All there playing cribbage and -solitaire.</p> - -<p>Am tempted to walk to Barrow; but there are some streams in the -way which it might be impossible to ford. Moreover, no one knows -the distance.</p> - -<p>Sunday, August 8. Morning finds us once more thwarted, and -standing at our place of refuge. No change in conditions, but there -will be a change of moon to-night, so I at least have hopes. In my -travels I learned too much about the moon not to believe in it. -Toward evening ice begins to move out.</p> - -<p>Monday, August 9. At 12.30 a. m., unexpectedly, a new start. -The wind has turned at last (new moon!) to northeast, but is mild. -Soon in ice. Many bumps and much creaking and shaking. Captain's -collie gets scared and tries to get into our beds, one after -another. But very little sleep under these conditions.</p> - -<p>In the morning we find ourselves in a thicker ice field than any -before, with floes on all sides. Boat barely creeps. Toward 10 a. m. -further progress found almost impossible, and so forced to turn backward -once more. However, can not even go back and so, near 12, -anchor about a mile offshore opposite a small river with lagoon-like -mouth and two tents of natives—"Shinara," or "Shinerara."</p> - -<p>Ask captain for a boat to visit and explore the coast. Consents, -and so at 1 we go forth, about eight of us, with the captain's dog. -Reach Eskimo, photograph the group. All look remarkably Indianlike. -Then go to look for skeletal material. Nothing near, so return -for the Eskimo boy. He leads me about a mile over the highland -tundra to two burials in boxes—not old. Look through crevices -shows in one an adolescent, in the other a female (or a boy) with -hair and skin still on. Leave both.</p> - -<p>Then into the boat once more after buying some fossil teeth, and -with the boy Isaac—his father is Abraham—try to go into the river, -and soon get stuck in the stickiest mud (oily shale) imaginable—great -work to clean even the oar with which we had to push ourselves -off. Land then on the beach and for the next two hours explore -that side of the basin. Find remains of two small settlements—seven -huts in all, none very old.</p> - -<p>Gather five skulls with parts of four skeletons, most bones missing; -also some mushrooms, several interesting humeri of seals, and a piece<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_110" id="Page_110">[Pg 110]</a></span> -of pumice-like fossil bone. Near 4.30 begins to rain a bit so we hurry -to boat, and in a little while, after depositing Isaac near his camp, -reach the <em>Bear</em>.</p> - -<p>Eskimo on shore had two skinned seal lying on the ground, and -there were many reindeer horns. A pile of them was over a fire, -being smoked.</p> - -<p>The wind has been the whole day from the northeast, the long-wished-for -wind, and the ice has moved out sufficiently to induce -the captain to make another start. So at 5 p. m. off we go again, -and for quite a while the screw sings merrily, until we reach some -remaining ice, when there are more bumps and staggers.</p> - -<p>The waters about the ship show, whenever calmer, the heads of -swimming seal, grown and little. But they are wary and keep at -a distance. Otherwise the only live things are an occasional gull, -and rarely a couple of ducks. In the icy water, however, on and -about the floes, are seen again numerous small, dark fish (from the -size of a big minnow to that of a tomcod); and along the shore swim -merrily hundreds of very tame and graceful little snipes, lovely small -birds, too little, luckily, to be hunted.</p> - -<p>Little enthusiasm about my collecting, but the boatswain and some -at least of the men are genuinely helpful. I believe some of the -others are a bit superstitious. But I get some chance at least, and -that is precious.</p> - -<p>Expect to reach Barrow before 12 p. m., and to start back before -morning—a big chance for some sleep again if I want to do some -collecting. Sleep, through the frequent lack of it, has become a -kind of obsession in one's thoughts, yet when there were chances during -the days of waiting it would not come.</p> - -<p>August 9, evening, to 10 next morning. This is a land of odds and -wonders. In the morning things looked hopeless; toward evening -the wind has driven away enough ice to make a narrow open lane -near the shore, and utilizing this we arrived without difficulty -at 8 p. m. at the long unreachable Barrow. At 9 boat takes us -ashore. At 9.30 p. m. I start with an Eskimo and a seaman (Weenie) -from the <em>Bear</em> on a collecting trip over about 3 square miles -of tundra behind Barrow, and at 12.30 return to ship with four bags -of skulls and bones. But sleep! Hardly any since 12.30 last night, -and very little after return to-day, for due to fear of ice they -called in everybody from shore before 3 a. m., and the newcomers -keep on walking and talking and banging with their baggage until -5, when, fearing a return of the ice, we start once more southward, -toward—it feels strange, but it is so—home. It was a remarkable -good fortune, our getting there thus and getting out again, as we -did, without damage.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_111" id="Page_111">[Pg 111]</a></span></p> - -<p>Barrow is a good-looking and rather important place. It stretches -about 2 miles along the low shore, in three clusters, the two main -ones separated by a lagoon. It has a radio station, a mission -hospital, and a school. There are over 200 natives here, and also quite -a few whites, including Mr. Charles Brower, the trader, observer -and collector, with his native wife and their family, the teacher, the -missionary and his family, and the nurses.</p> - -<p>The burial place here is the most extensive in the Eskimo territory. -Taking the older parts and the new, it covers over a square mile of -the tundra, beginning not far beyond the site of the hospital and -extending to and beyond a small stream that flows over a mile inland. -But the burials were grouped in a few spots, the rest being barren.</p> - -<p>This extensive burial ground is now about exhausted for scientific -purposes, except for such skeletons and objects as may have been -assimilated—i. e. buried—by the tundra. That such exist became -quite evident during our search, and they naturally are the oldest -and most valuable. We secured two good skulls of this nature. They -were completely buried, only a little of the vault showing, and had -there been time we should doubtless have found also parts of the -skeletons. The skulls were discolored brown.</p> - -<p>Of the later skeletal material we found but the leavings, the best -having been carried off by other collectors. There were remnants -of hundreds of skulls and skeletons, but for the most part so damaged -as not to be worth saving. Nevertheless our diligent midnight -search was not in vain, and we brought back four sacks full of specimens, -the Eskimo carrying his with the utmost good nature. The -destruction here is due to sailors and other whites and to dogs, foxes, -and reindeer.</p> - -<p>The reindeer herds, going in hundreds over the ground, help -materially to scatter and damage the bones. So, the older material -gone, while the more recent burials are, at least so far as the -younger element is concerned, quite worthless to science, containing -many mix bloods of all sorts—even occasionally with the negro -(men from the wrecked whaleboats). The collection now secured -was the last one possible from this locality, except through excavation.</p> - -<p>Tuesday, August 10. The boat is now crowded. We lost one -woman and got three; also about five or six men—newspaper, movie, -radioman, a dog teamster, a trapper. Quite a variety, in every way, -and most are to go with us at least as far as Nome. They will have -to hang up two hammocks in our little cabin each night, and some -must sleep elsewhere.</p> - -<p>Packing the whole morning. Five boxes. My man of last night -helping, a fine, big young fellow. This aid in the work is a great<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_112" id="Page_112">[Pg 112]</a></span> -boon to me, and the transportation of the many specimens by the -<em>Bear</em> down to Seattle or San Francisco will be a fine service to the -Institution.</p> - -<p>The older of us, that is those who have been longer on the ship, -feel like veterans and are drawn closer together. The new lot, -heterogeneous, do not attract, particularly one of the women. An -older one, evidently a well-liked nurse, goes off at Wainwright, -which we reach once more at 8 p. m. Here goes off also Jim Allen, -the trader, who is a good fellow in a rough shell and whom I -learned to like. He helped us all a good deal while in the ice.</p> - -<p>The movie man from Point Hope is a somewhat spoiled, gossipy, -and roughshod, but otherwise, a good-hearted big kid—not very -wise, but not mischievous, and more than efficient in his own calling. -Is 40, but already aging, like a weather-beaten poplar—not pine -or oak. Is violently against all "kikes," or eastern money-lending -Jews, from whom he used to borrow at usurious interest and who -sold him out once or twice when he could not pay.</p> - -<p>Lost Jim Allen and dropped the nurse, but are still too many. -At 10 p. m., just as the minister and I have retired, there comes a -call for the former to go up. A couple of Eskimos have arrived, -with their friends, to be married. So he dresses and performs the -function. I am too weary to rise and dress to go and look at it. -He says it was quite tame. Then the anchor, and once more we -are off. No ice any more, and the sea has again a swell, which was -absent in the ice-covered waters.</p> - -<p>Wednesday, August 11. Swell, but not bad, though one of the -women, another nurse, is ill, and the other, a "writer," etc., will not -get up for breakfast. Quite a problem now to get washed and -shaved. Both the minister (archdeacon) and the movie man like -to use perfumed things, and the former takes much time with his -toilet, so I endeavor as before to be first up.</p> - -<p>August 12. A great day. Was called a little after 12.30 a. m., after -but little sleep (through anticipation), to examine a site ashore—a -coal mine, a water source, and possibly something human. Two -miles to shore, in semidarkness; no night yet in these regions. A -long tramp over the mossy and grassy tundra; mosquitoes. One -native igloo, and on a little elevation some distance off a grave of -a child; otherwise nothing. After examination of the coal strata, -a curious secondary inclusion in sand and gravel, and the stream -of water (good to drink, even if not clear), we depart and reach -ship again after 4 a. m.</p> - -<p>Beginning to be—in fact am already—a "night doctor," for sure. -Never thought I could stand such doings, but am standing it, and -that even with some cold and bothersome night cough. But am<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_113" id="Page_113">[Pg 113]</a></span> -sure short on sleeping, for it is impossible for me to catch up during -the days; am not a day sleeper. I suppose when one is most of -the time half hungry his mind naturally reverts to hunger, as mine -does to sleep.</p> - -<p>We are due to-day again at Point Hope, and I am anxious for a -little time there.</p> - -<p>At night. This was a day of harvest. Reached Point Hope about -3 p. m., but had to go around again to the other side, due to the -swell and surf on the north. I went to shore in the first boat, about -4 p. m. Doctor Goodman, with whom we are very friendly, was -with me and promised to go over and help me get some men with -whom I want to excavate the burial hole of his predecessor. But -when on the shore stays behind and remains. So we go on with my -man from the ship to the whalebone graveyard. Near there see -two Eskimo men with some dogs. They smile; so I tell them what -I want; in two minutes have engaged them; in about three more -we begin to dig, and in about five minutes after strike first bones.</p> - -<p>My good friend the boatswain, Mr. Berg, comes to help, and as I -now have four to work I take a bag and go on collecting a little -more over the plains beyond where we are. Get a good bag. Find -another good-natured Eskimo, Frank, coming from fishing, engage -him to help carrying and eventually to take place of one of my first -workers, who is an old man. Then we see Doctor Goodman, far -away, coming to the mission. Borrow two more shovels from his -stock and a few coal bags. Meanwhile bone and skull pile is fairly -exposed from one side and top gravel partly removed, so I give up -intended trip to old village site and, as we were given only to 9.30 -p. m., go to work on the pile.</p> - -<p>A great deal here. More than anticipated, though all is a jumble, -with the long and other bones of the skeleton on the top. The work -is to get down in the moist gravel, disengage one bone and skull after -another as rapidly as possible, give it a rapid look-over, and either -save, if fairly well preserved or showing some special feature, or -discard. If saved, the specimen is handed to one of the Eskimo, -who cleans it of gravel, lays it out to dry a little, and then places it -gently in a bag.</p> - -<p>Many of the bones and skulls were found so damaged that they -had to be left. But much was also good. The strenuous work, however, -had to go on without interruption and at the fullest possible -speed, if the main part of what was there was to be saved. So no -supper, no stop for even a minute, until after 8 p. m. Sixteen bags -full, and some of the sacks quite spacious. At last had to give up—no -more time, no sacks, and lower down everything frozen as hard -as flint. The main part, however, secured—183 good skulls, several<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_114" id="Page_114">[Pg 114]</a></span> -hundred lower jaws, and a lot of long and other bones. This, together -with the rest of the material from this place, ought to give -us data of much value.</p> - -<p>But now, how shall the lot be got on the boat. Luckily, one of the -Eskimo that has been working for me has a dog team and sled. So -I engage these; and shortly after we finish putting everything in -order—in the presence now of Doctor Goodman, who comes to look at -us—the man arrives, with a good-sized sled and 13 whitish dogs. -Load all the bags on—and then a sight never to be forgotten—the -dogs pulling the load across the tundra, depressions, gravels, right -down to the water's edge and to the motor boat that is waiting for us. -How they strained, pulled with all will, and obeyed. A wise leader -in front, six pairs behind. No reins, only a few calls from the -Eskimo, and they knew just what to do. Tried to photograph them, -but light already poor—advancing season. (Pl. 9, <em>a.</em> <em>b.</em>)</p> - -<p>Then hurry to the teacher, not home; to La Voy, not home. Find -teacher in tent, sick, trembling; I fear beginning of typhoid. Did -not get anything for me in our absence. La Voy promised to give -me some things from his collections, but now is not here. A native -woman, however, meets me far out on the beach, and I learn she has -dug out for me since our first visit five good skulls from the ground—some, -she shows, deep to above the elbow. She has them near the -ship—we go on—on the road boys and women overtake me with a -few things to sell. Then the woman brings her skulls, in a bag on -her back, in excellent condition. I pay her for her trouble. Reach -our boat, and the bell on the <em>Bear</em> rings 9.30.</p> - -<p>The bone pile—the sled and dogs and load over the tundra—the -woman carrying a native (seal) bag with skulls—will be three rare, -indelible pictures.</p> - -<p>On the <em>Bear</em> at 10. A little sandwich, fruit, and a cinnamon cake -with coffee, and to bed. But irritating tire-cough keeps me up for -another hour.</p> - -<p>Friday, 13th. Packing. A nice day. Toward evening stop at -Kevalina. Obtain a few things and pictures. To bed soon, but -cough still bothers. I have nothing for it; there is but little on the -boat in the way of medicines outside of the most ordinary things.</p> - -<p>Saturday, 14th. Up 5.30, early breakfast, and 6.45 start once more -for Kotzebue. The <em>Bear</em> has anchored about 12 miles off, so do not -reach village until 8.35, and have to go back at 9.10. Rush to store, -get boxes, barrels, and packing. And then to the schoolhouse, where -I expect some information about the skeleton found under the house -and obtained on my former visit. Also promised information from -Mr. Chance, the supervisor, about old sites. But Mr. Chance is gone, -and no letter or message—it came later, to Washington. A few<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_115" id="Page_115">[Pg 115]</a></span> -words with the teacher, and one of the boys from our boat is already -calling me.</p> - -<p>Return at 11 a. m. and spend the rest of the day packing, finishing -just at supper. A curious sunset at 8, a horizontally banded sun, -several clear-cut, fairly broad, dark bands. Sea getting rougher.</p> - -<p>Sunday, August 15. Bad sea, wind, waves, fog. Have to take to -bed and do without breakfast. Stay in until lunch. We could not -stop again at Shishmareff; could not get ashore. The next stop, late -afternoon, is to be at the Little Diomede, to take off Jenness; but if -too rough we shall go on to Teller. The wind is from the northwest -and the foghorn keeps on blowing.</p> - -<p>The whole day continues rough, foggy, unfriendly. The ship can -not stop at the Diomede, nor go to Teller; obliged to go to Nome. -After supper all chairs and movable articles have to be tied up. -Most day in bed, but escaped real seasickness, and got some sleep.</p> - -<p>Monday, 16. Weather moderated. We are in lee of the mountainous -part of Seward Peninsula. After breakfast off Nome, and at -11 a. m. in town. First stop at Lomen's. Then from one to another -till 4.55 p. m., when Dan Sutherland, the Alaska Delegate to Congress, -escorts me to the boat. Saw many friends, got some mail, -and, best of all, got a fine deposit collection for the National Museum -from Mr. Carl Lomen. The judge asked me for another lecture for -next Saturday, when we are to see Nome for the last time.</p> - -<p>About 5 a. m. arrive at Golovnin Bay to take water. At this place -this is generally a day of partial rest and recreation for the crew. -The water is taken from a small stream fed by a spring that comes -out from a cave of the mountain, and is put direct into the whaleboats, -brought to ship, and pumped into its tanks.</p> - -<p>Shortly after breakfast the captain gives us the larger motor boat, -and with Mr. Berg and two of the seamen I start for a little survey -trip along the northern shore of the bay. In less than an hour we -reach a sheltered nook with a small stream, where there is an old -frame dwelling with some out-structures, all evidently abandoned, -though various articles of use hang or lie about, including several -guns of old patterns.</p> - -<p>On a bluff to the left of the house are six burials, some old, wood -near all rotten, some more recent. The latter, two in number, both -show a large animal skin covering of the body, besides which the -latter shows remnants of clothing. Secure two good skeletons, -practically complete; also head and a few parts of a newborn (or -near) child. A unique feature—with one of the male skeletons is -found a complete skeleton of an eagle. Could have got also a female -skeleton, but was still unclean, and we perceived a small native motor -boat coming toward us from the reindeer camp about 1½ miles<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_116" id="Page_116">[Pg 116]</a></span> -farther inward. So we replaced everything (outwardly) and started -off to meet the native boat. Found in it two young men and three -women. Inquired about old sites and learned of one about 3 miles -farther inward.</p> - -<p>Stopped at the reindeer camp. Found there about a dozen individuals. -Got more information, also a young man to go with us, -bought for the <em>Bear</em> a dozen good-sized silver salmon—caught this -morning and lying for protection against flies, in a pool of water—and -left for the old site "around the point."</p> - -<p>A nice site, but small. Fine beach for bathing if it were in a -warmer climate. Remains of about a half dozen semisubterranean -houses. A copper nail from one shows they were not very ancient. -And no burials left, save one, more recent, of a child, most of which -is gone. But there is a green elevated plane rising from the beach -and we soon find several varieties of berries, especially large and good -blueberries, a variety of huckleberry, and a sort of wine-tasting -dwarf blackberry. Collect enough for immediate consumption—a -most welcome diversion in every way—and get some for the captain.</p> - -<p>Leave near 1 p. m. A little lunch on boat, then once more the -reindeer camp, where the young women make us good hot coffee -with as good biscuits as one could find anywhere. Buy more berries -from them, load our fish (12 salmon ranging about 12 pounds each, -for $3), and start off for another site just around Stony Point.</p> - -<p>Round up one point, then another and another, up to five, and by -that time the going has become so rough that we get much tossed -about, ship water, dog gets frightened and near sick, and just -as we reach what we thought must be the last point there juts out -still another. It is now so rough that the boatswain thinks we could -not land, and so nothing remains but to turn back to the mother -boat. Reach there near 3.30 p. m. Soon all boats are hoisted, and at -4 the <em>Bear</em> is on her way to St. Michael.</p> - -<p>August 18. Arrived about midnight off St. Michael; must stay outside -due to shoal water. Somewhat rough.</p> - -<p>In the morning boat coaling, dirty work, so all who can go ashore. -Meet Mr. Williams again; buy a few native articles in stores, visit -Mrs. Evans, the teacher-nurse, who has on an occasion successfully -amputated a native's finger. The deputy marshal takes me to his -house, gives me some dried deer meat and smoked salmon strips, and -promises to be on a lookout for specimens for us. Near noon return. -Still rough.</p> - -<p>At night a bad blow and the ship tossing a great deal, almost as -during the storm to St. Lawrence. Feel it considerably, but after -3 a. m. wind and water moderate. Feel effects of it, however, whole -morning. For an explorer to be ever in rough weather subject to -seasickness is a horrid affliction.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_117" id="Page_117">[Pg 117]</a></span></p> - -<p>August 19. Off Nome once more. Everything, city, mountains, -appear exceedingly, unnaturally clear—not a good sign. After -9 a. m. go to town. Soon at the Lomens' headquarters, and the sons, -particularly Carl, bring out three smaller boxes full of things from -St. Lawrence and Nunivak Islands, and give me the choice of all. -And after I am through—near two hours' fast work—Carl adds one -beautiful tusk (carved) from Nunivak Island, and then adds another, -and two big bones of a mammoth, some as gifts, some as an addition -to his loan to our institution. Excellent men.</p> - -<p>Lunch with Ralph and Carl; then a good walk in the open; and -then another lecture. All pleased, and two bring me specimens for -our museum. Slowly back to boat and 4.45 on the <em>Bear</em> again. Nice -day, but getting cooler and blustery.</p> - -<p>Captain Ross comes to port, the graphophone starts its usual jazz -songs next (ward) room, then the supper, all visitors gone, and the -<em>Bear</em> raises anchor to be off for the north once more.</p> - -<p>August 19, evening. A new, final chapter begins with to-day. -What will it contain when over?</p> - -<p>August 20. Rough. Go north until in plain sight of the Diomedes -as well as Cape Wales, and then the captain decides landing would -be risky, if not impossible; and so reluctantly we turn back and -proceed toward Teller. What a tantalizing experience this must -have been to poor Jenness, who is waiting for us on the Little -Diomede, a most dreary place, to be taken off; and I, too, expected -collections at both the Diomedes and the Cape.</p> - -<p>Saturday, August 21. Port Clarence, off Teller. This proved -a day never to be forgotten; for failure of a rigid system, for bad -weather, for strain and endurance, and nearness to almost anything.</p> - -<p>My purpose was to utilize the <em>Bear's</em> visit to Teller for a survey -of a Chukchee-Eskimo battle field, of which I heard repeatedly -from the Yukon onward. Sometime during the earlier half of the -last century the Chukchee from Asia are said to have made an invasion -of the peninsula and to have reached as far as the Salt Lake, -east of Teller, when they were met by the united Eskimo and badly -defeated. The exact spot where this happened is, however, somewhat -uncertain, and it was to locate it, examine, and collect what -might be possible of the remains that were said to be still there -that I asked Captain Cochran to let me have one of the motor boats, -to which he kindly consented, uniting the trip with some topographical -observations for his own purposes.</p> - -<p>The evening before I was told by the second officer that we shall -start some time soon after midnight for that part of the old battle -field—there seemed to be two of them—at the eastern point of the -Salt Lake. As a result could not undress, and after ship stopped in<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_118" id="Page_118">[Pg 118]</a></span> -Port Clarence, near 11 p. m., had but a little rest. The call came at -4 a. m. A little breakfast, a package of lunch, and start at 5.10.</p> - -<p>First note. Ship about 7 miles from Teller. Water deep enough -much nearer, but we came at night. Here there are already dark -nights between about 9 p. m. and 4 a. m., and so they were cautious.</p> - -<p>Second. The officer says he has orders not to stop at Teller, where -there is an old Indian (Dunak) from whom I expected to get exact -bearings, and where there is also a white trader, Mr. Peterson, who -knows the place and might possibly have accompanied us.</p> - -<p>Third. Distances, as usual, longer than estimated. We find eventually -that the destination is about 32 miles from Teller.</p> - -<p>Fourth. A brisk head wind and sea retarding us.</p> - -<p>Fifth. As we approach our spot, a shoal water, with grass, preventing -us from going straight to the most likely place, and no other way -was tried. It is 11 a. m. and already I hear an intimation that we -shall not have time for anything except to make a lunch. This is -the same officer, a very good man at his post but rigid and without -much interest in anything else than his own field, who after 10 -miles' trip to Kotzebue gave us 25 minutes there, when it required -15 minutes alone to reach the school from the boat.</p> - -<p>So we end by landing on the extremity of a spit there to make -lunch, and I have only the time it takes to prepare the latter. I find, -in hurry, remains of five old semisubterranean dwellings on the -northern side of the point, and about as many low mounds with -remnants about of rotten driftwood—undoubtedly old burials. -Probably the skeletons have been assimilated by the tundra vegetation -and blown material. A single native skull, a female, without -face, is lying about. Collected.</p> - -<p>While lunch is being made ready the officer and the boatswain, -Mr. Berg, each shoot a duck. Then the lunch, a hurried loading, -and departure, after some delay in setting the sail, at 1.30 p. m. I -saw nothing that looked like a battle field. Its determination and -survey must be left for some future explorer.</p> - -<p>Sail rapidly. Wind fresh, with us, also waves. Cross Salt Lake, -and Tussoc "River." About 4.30 reach Grantly Harbor and wind -increases; also waves. We run fast, and well enough, but the -umiak (skin boat) we are pulling begins to suffer. It rides crazily -and is jerked over the seething waves. The crossbar by which it is -partly held breaks, and now the boat goes more sidewise, with water -lapping over its border and getting in. Wind now quite a gale, -breaking waves everywhere—every now and then a big one—whitecaps -all over. A dim view of Teller in distance, when the skin -boat begins to fill more rapidly and sag. Must stop engine—waves -toss us like mad—one could be thrown bodily out of the boat if<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_119" id="Page_119">[Pg 119]</a></span> -not careful in bending or moving and holding. The sail comes -down and the mast is laid down, a bad piece of work. Berg and -Pete Brant (an elderly trapper with us but formerly of Coast -Guard Service at Nome, a good sailor and knowing these waters) -work very hard and well. The skin boat has to be pulled alongside -and bailed out by young Weenie, a very hard and dangerous task. -Mr. Berg's rain hat ("souwester") blows off and is lost in the -seething waves. Later Weenie nearly loses his—snatches it out -between the boats with a narrow escape for his head. Then Weenie -climbs into the skin boat—a brave act—and finishes the bailing, but -is much "in" after getting back. Then our big staunch motor -launch starts again at reduced speed. But the skin boat does great -antics and threatens to fill again or break; so Pete Brant holds the -rope and is jerked every now and then, until I fear that he may -any moment be jerked out into the waves and watch to catch his -legs. Fortunately he succeeds in preventing it, but there was a -slim margin.</p> - -<p>It has drizzled or rained, besides the wind, most of the afternoon, -and there is a lot of spray to splashes from the waves. All this has -to be taken as it comes, but the water is not cold, and our boots and -oilskins give protection. Nevertheless my right knee to hip gets -thoroughly wet and chilly, and I was not alone. But there is little -time to think of such things. We see at Teller the waves breaking -high on the shore, some boats already on the beach and others being -driven there, a few people looking helplessly on.</p> - -<p>About 5.50 we round the Teller spit and come in the lee of it into -calmer water. But the visibility over the water is probably not -over a mile now, and we see no trace of the <em>Bear</em>. The gasoline -supply is getting rather low; and all are more or less cold, though -dressed warmer than I and, due to their hip-high rubber boots—mine -reach only to the knee—not wet. I now shake a lot with -the cold, without being able to stop it. So we skirt the protecting -bluffs southward to where everyone thinks the <em>Bear</em> is, near a little -stream from which they were to take fresh water. But though we -all strain our eyes to the limit, there is no trace of the ship.</p> - -<p>Thus reach Cape Riley and the stream, which is found dry, without -a drop of water. Get on the pebbly beach, turn skin boat over to -get the water out, and hurry to chop wood. No wood save the water -troughs, so chop these. Must have fire. I warm up a little by -running around and chopping. They pour gasoline on the wood, -make a big fire, cook a pot of coffee, and with bread and preserved -meat make a supper, though it is mainly coffee.</p> - -<p>Near 8 and getting dark. Storm, outside of protection of cliffs, -unabated. There is a second watering place, 7 or 8 miles across the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_120" id="Page_120">[Pg 120]</a></span> -bay, and our only chance to find the <em>Bear</em> is to rush for this. But to -do this we must go diagonally across the waves and similarly against -the wind—a bad prospect. Also, we have only just about enough -gasoline to reach the place. But there is no help.</p> - -<p>Thus a new start, and before long we are once more in the waves. -It is now quite obscure. The waves break now and then and splash -over us. Before long the skin boat is again sagging and in danger -of sinking. Once more pull alongside and dangerous, exhausting -bailing by Weenie.</p> - -<p>And so on, tossed, driven aside, but thanks to the good engine -never stopping. I hold to seat not to be thrown against things or -even out; the others are becoming gruff, irritable. And then Higsby -makes out a faint light far ahead. No one certain, but in a while -it seems moving. A solitary small light somewhere far on the shore, -probably, not the boat.</p> - -<p>But soon another stronger light discerned, seemingly moving to -the left, and later several—the ship in all probability.</p> - -<p>We toss and reel and stagger nearer, but motor still going strong. -For the skin boat they found at last a position in which it takes but -little water. Finally see decisively a blinking light, the mast signal. -We show our lantern a few times. Then the ship looms before us, -but there is still the risky task of getting alongside and aboard. -However, all is accomplished without real damage.</p> - -<p>The cabin—the good and anxious captain—a little canned grapefruit, -and bed. But head falls and rises, the events of the day reappear, -wonder what has become of the trade schooner we saw being -driven on the beach—and so on until consciousness passes into deep -sleep. The <em>Bear</em> is fairly quiet, not in the brunt of the weather. -And this eventually moderates, so that a little after 4 we start again, -only to anchor once more at 6, a little below where last night we had -our supper.</p> - -<p>August 22. Cloudy, drizzly, rough still, and wireless news of -widespread bad storms, even in the States. So we shall wait. One -more hope for my collections at the Cape and with Jenness.</p> - -<p>Captain says this morning the officer misunderstood his orders -about Teller. The trip demonstrated a number of things. One of -the main and most gratifying was the sterling quality of the men -with me, officer, boatswain, motorman. Weenie, Pete, in the teeth of -real danger. They were all that men should be under such conditions, -which is the best way I can express it. The trip may have been -in vain so far as its scientific object was concerned, but it brought -a number of men face to face with life's stresses and found their -mettle of the truest quality, without exception, to witness which -was worth the whole experience.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_121" id="Page_121">[Pg 121]</a></span></p> - -<p>August 22-23. During the night have left Port Clarence and -endeavored once more to reach Wales and the Diomedes, to be again -turned away by fog and rough weather. The captain doubts if -there will be any more decent "spells." The season for this stormy -sea is too far advanced. Unable to land anywhere.</p> - -<p>The day is followed by another horrid night, again off the St. -Lawrence Island. Boat tossing and heaving and rolling, waves -reaching and even splashing over the level of the high upper deck -in the back, everything tied tip and cleared or fastened, a danger -in making even a few steps of being thrown against something, or -on the deck of being thrown overboard, and everything constantly -cracking, creaking, with every few minutes an impact big thud-like -or a splash of a wave, the floor heaving and twisting; and thus from -before evening until morning. Then a trace easier, but the whole -day gloomy and rough and the night again more unsettled. To-day -better, wind which began east then turned northwest, then almost -north, now stopped, but a heavy swell is running, heaving us nearly -as much as yesterday. We have gone very slowly.</p> - -<p>Have arrived off Savonga. The sky is now clear and there is -not much wind, but the swell is and keeps on such that, notwithstanding -the repeated calls of our siren, the Eskimo whom we -see above the beach near their boats, do not dare to launch these -and come, nor does the captain care to risk one of our own launches, -though we need fresh reindeer meat and all would like once more -to meet the nice lot of natives of this village. After a prolonged -wait and as conditions show no improvement, nothing remains but -to leave the island.</p> - -<p>Our next stop, if the weather permits, is to be at Nunivak Island. -This is a large island off the Alaskan coast, well below the present -delta of the Yukon and some distance above Kuskokwim Bay. The -island is one of the least explored, and the people living upon it -one of the least known. It is only during the last few years that -a trading and a reindeer post has been established on this island, -and only the second year that there is a teacher. What little is -known of the natives, a branch of the Eskimo, shows that they have -many different habits from those farther north, in clothing, decoration, -etc. They make rather good black pottery, and from this -island come the most elaborate carvings in ivory, reminding strongly -of small totem poles. A photograph of a group of these people, -seen at the Lomen Studio at Nome, showed remarkably broad and -short faces, unlike the Eskimo of the north. All of which made me -very anxious to visit the island.</p> - -<p>To be brief such a visit, though promised to me by the captain, -could not be realized. The waters about the island are so im<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_122" id="Page_122">[Pg 122]</a></span>perfectly -charted that in weather that continued half rough it was -thought unwise to risk a landing. I felt this keenly, as the various -other impossibilities of the trip. But I could never forget all the -unexpected help I received from the Revenue Cutter Service, for -which I was deeply grateful, and had to acknowledge the justice of -the captain's position. We came so near that the land birds from -the island were already about us, but then turned toward the -Pribilofs and Unalaska....</p> - -<p>Only little remains to be told. At the Pribilof Island, St. Paul, -we stopped at night, to take on four live fur seals for the Academy -of Sciences of San Francisco, and there we ran once more into -stormy weather. Here are a few notes from this period:</p> - -<p>August 27. Toward evening again a gale, southwest. At night -worse. Ship tossing rather wildly. No possibility to me of either -getting up or resting. Barely keep from being horribly ill again.</p> - -<p>Later in night ship had to be turned back and just drift.</p> - -<p>August 28. All day the storm continues. I could take no meals, -not even a drop of water. In bed and barely standing it. Ship -hove to at last and just drifting.</p> - -<p>August 29. Gale keeps on just as bad, howling till 1.30 a. m. -Then it moderates somewhat and ship starts going again. Last night -we were only 60 miles from Unalaska, now a good deal farther out. -Steam, still in half a gale and big sea, until after midday, when, not -without some difficulty and danger, we reach the fine little protected -harbor of Unalaska. Feel weak, near worn out.</p> - -<p>August 30, p. m. Rest, and all is well again. Secure a little rowboat -and go with old Pete Brant to near-by islands. Storm over -for the day and fair, though not entirely. Row, climb hills, pick -berries and mushrooms, watch a bearlike semiwild pig, out whole -afternoon, returning strengthened, refreshed. Only no appetite yet. -Found no traces of human occupancy, but heard of some in the -"Captain's Bay" and at other spots.</p> - -<p>The few Aleuts in Unalaska at this time show physiognomies -akin to the brachycephalic Indian, and not the Eskimo type.</p> - -<p>August 31-September 1. A new gale, with drizzles. Luckily we -are at a dock, but I can do little. They are cleaning the boilers and -coaling. Evening of 1st have a good dinner—captain and the rest -of us from the <em>Bear's</em> cabin—at a friendly local trader, Louis Strauss, -and after that give lecture on "Man's Origin, etc." Introduction -by Capt. Van Buskirk, local commodore of the Revenue Cutter -Service. Lecture well received, make numerous friends, get good -information. Strauss's supper was the first I could eat with some -taste and hunger. But the lecture did me good.</p> - -<p>September 2. Coaling and overhauling of boilers finished. Gale -stopped. Ship leaves 1 p. m. Day fairly sunny. Everyone sees us<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_123" id="Page_123">[Pg 123]</a></span> -off. Harbor and hills look fine, though sky again clouded. Outside -quite a swell after the gales. Pass the <em>Haida</em>, practicing with her -cannon. The <em>Algonkin</em> was here too, with the story of their visit to -the Punuk Islands. The fresh green steep mountains toward the -entrance of the harbor are refreshing to the eye.</p> - -<p>Pass through Akitan. Pass picturesque, especially the outstanding -isolated rocks near the islands.</p> - -<p>Toward evening, far to the left (east), see under the clouds a -glorious icy cone, the "Pogrovemoi," and later a lower but still great -mountain a little farther and to the right an old but not so very old -volcano. Other volcanoes there are, the captain tells me, now hidden -by the low clouds.</p> - -<p>Have a new passenger, Mr. Charles Brower, the trader of Barrow. -Came from the <em>Brower</em>, ship of his own company, a little larger and -faster than the <em>Bear</em>, and going also to San Francisco, but with -poorer accommodations. Brings with him a box of archeological -specimens from the Barter Island, in the north. Examine them, but -find little of special interest.</p> - -<p>It takes us a little less than 10 days of a fairly good journey to -reach San Francisco. Dock at Oakland late in the evening. The -next morning, after breakfast, the boxes and barrels with collections -are taken on the dock—a big pile. Then the Santa Fe officials -kindly run a flat freight car to the pile, the boxes, etc., are loaded -on, the main part taken to the freight depot, the most valuable ones -to express, shipped, and shortly after what remains of the expedition -is on the Santa Fe Limited for Chicago. It only needs to -be added that, notwithstanding the variety of receptacles and the -difficulties of packing, the collections reached the Institution without -damage to a single specimen. Thanks once more for the help -received in making all safe to the captain and officers of the <em>Bear</em>, to -Mr. Berg, the best of boatswains, to the carpenter, and to all those of -the crew who assisted.</p> -<div class="chapter"></div> -<hr class="chap" /> - - - - -<h2>THE YUKON TERRITORY—SITES, THE INDIANS, THE -ESKIMO</h2> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">The Tanana</span></h3> - - -<h4>BRIEF HISTORICAL DATA</h4> - -<p>The Tanana is the largest tributary of the Yukon.

Nearly abandoned; only two families there now. -Summer (fishing) camp on the opposite point.</p> - -<p>4. A small settlement at mouth of Baker Creek, right bank, about -4 miles upstream from Hot Springs.</p> - -<p>5. "Crossjacket village," on left bank, about 45 miles above Tanana, -40 miles below Hot Springs. Used to be called "Cosna." -Occupied, though only a few there.</p> - -<p>6. Near 5, but on the opposite bank, a few habitations.</p> - -<p>During the open season the Indians live scattered along the river -in fishing camps. This is especially true along the right bank downstream -from Nenana.</p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">The Yukon Below Tanana</span></h3> - - -<h4>BRIEF HISTORY</h4> - -<p>The Yukon is the principal river of Alaska. It is one -of the greatest and most scenic rivers in the world. It is approximately -2,300 miles long (from the headwaters of the Lewes -River), in its middle and lower courses ranges at times with its -sloughs to several miles in breadth, and includes many hundreds of -islands of its own formation. Its scenery is still essentially primeval, -affected but little by human occupation or industry. It has, in fact, -gone considerably back in these respects since the gold rush was over.</p> - -<p>This great stream has been known to the white man for less than -a century. Cook, in September of 1778, sailed near, discovering -Stuart Island and Cape Stephens of the St. Michael Island, but -missed the river.</p> - -<p>In 1829 P. E. Chistiakof, director (1826-1830) of the Russian-American -colonies, sent the naval officer Vasilief to explore the -coasts between the Alexander Redoubt (at the mouth of the Nushagak) -and the Shaktol or Norton Sound, and in 1830 Vasilief explored -the larger part of the Kuskokwim River, of which the Russians<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_127" id="Page_127">[Pg 127]</a></span> -knew already from their earlier explorers. Here they heard of an -even greater stream to the north.</p> - -<p>In 1831, on the recommendation of Vasilief, Michail Dmitrievich -Tebenkof was sent to Norton Sound with the view of further exploration -and the establishing of a post in that region. Tebenkof discovered -that Cape Stephens was not a part of the mainland but of -an island; and he built here a fortified post which in honor of his -patron saint is called St. Michael, a name which subsequently passed -to the whole island. The post was to serve both trade and further -exploration.</p> - -<p>From St. Michael, at the end of 1834, a small party is sent out -under the leadership of an educated "kreol" (son of a native mother -and Russian father), Andrei Glazunof, and on January 26, 1835, they -reach the good-sized Indian village of Anvik, on the Kwikhpak, or -Yukon.<a name="FNanchor_15_15" id="FNanchor_15_15"></a><a href="#Footnote_15_15" class="fnanchor">[15]</a> From here Glazunof travels down the river to the large -village of Aninulykhtykh-pak (above Holy Cross), the last Indian -(as distinguished from Eskimo) village down the river, whence -Glazunof sends most of his party back to St. Michael and himself -proceeds to the Kuskokwim.</p> - -<p>In 1836 the Russians effect the first settlement on the Yukon, at -Ikogmiut (Zagoskin, 6), later known as the Russian Mission.</p> - -<p>In 1838 Malakof, over land portage, reaches Nulato and builds -there a trading post, which, during his absence the next winter, is -burned by the natives. In 1841 Dieriabin rebuilds and fortifies this -post, becomes its headman, and is there eventually (1851) killed by -the Indians.</p> - -<p>In 1841 Lieut. Laurenti Alexief Zagoskin is delegated to explore -the "Kwikhpak," with its portages to the Kotzebue Sound, and the -Kuskokwim River; and in 1843 he navigates and maps 600 miles of -the Yukon, or from about the mouth of the Apkhun (northern) pass -to the mouth of the Novitna River, with approximately 100 miles of -each, from their mouth, of the Koyukuk and of the Ittege (or -Innoko) Rivers.</p> - -<p>The Russian post at Nulato remains until the sale of their American -dominions by the Russians to the United States in 1867. From it and -from St. Michael individual Russian traders ranged over the river<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_128" id="Page_128">[Pg 128]</a></span> -and its lower affluents, but there was no further noteworthy scientific -exploration. In 1863, however, Lukin, who after Vasilief and Kolmakof -helped to explore the Kuskokwim, reached to Fort Yukon.</p> - -<p>Meanwhile the river has been visited by both the English and -the Americans. In 1847 Mr. Bell, of the Hudson Bay Co., having -heard of the great stream from some of the Indians who visited the -fort on Peels River, set out in quest of it, accompanied by a native -guide, and reached it by the Rat and the Porcupine Rivers.<a name="FNanchor_16_16" id="FNanchor_16_16"></a><a href="#Footnote_16_16" class="fnanchor">[16]</a></p> - -<p>Between 1843 and 1867 the river in its lower and middle reaches -is freely traversed by the Russian traders. In 1851 Nulato is reached -by Lieutenant Barnard, of H. M. S. <em>Enterprise</em>, in search of Franklin, -only to be massacred there with some of the Russians and natives -by the offended Indians of the Koyukuk. In 1861 Robert Kennicott -traverses a part of the Yukon, and in 1865 he, with Capt. Charles -S. Bulkley, leads there the expedition of the Western Union Telegraph -Co., which is accompanied by William H. Dall and Frederick -Whymper, and results in much information. Already, however, in -1863, Strahan Jones, commander of the Peels River Fort, has descended -the Yukon to the mouth of the Novitna River or the uppermost -point reached by Zagoskin, thus completing its identification -as one and the same great stream.

Wrangell (Stat. and Ethnog. Nachricht., 138) -says that Glazunof's expedition was outfitted the same year (1833) in which the St. -Michael redoubt was established. In Zeleny's abstract of Zagoskin's report (p. 212) and -by Zagoskin himself (pp. 6, 23) the departure of the expedition is put a year later, or -1834, which is probably correct. Dall's remarks (Alaska and Its Resources, 276, 338) -on the subject contain several errors, both of dates and facts. There is also considerable -confusion as to the names Kvikhpak and Yukon. The term Kvikhpak (Kvikh, river; pak, -large) is of Eskimo origin and was applied by these to that part of the river which they -occupied.

It is probably -well below that number. Moreover, not one-half of the adults and -much fewer among the young are still full bloods. Disease, bad -liquor (Yukon), and mostly as yet imperfect accommodation to -changing conditions are steadily diminishing the numbers. Since -our visit many have died from influenza, especially at Anvik. Their -future is not hopeful. On the Tanana, however, and with the more -educated in general, conditions are better, and much good is being -done by the four missions on the two rivers (Nenana, Tanana, Anvik, -and Holy Cross).</p> - -<p>The old Indian settlements along the Yukon are gone, with a few -exceptions. On some of the sites, as at Tanana, Nulato, Kaltag, etc., -there are new villages bearing the old names but built by or in imitation -of whites and sheltering a mixed population. The very names -of not a few of the older Indian sites have gone into oblivion; or -the natives call those they still know by a corruption of a white man's -name, such as "Ulstissen" (for Old Station). Anvik alone has kept -its original site and some of its old character, the mission and the -white trader being across the river.</p> - -<p>In the Eskimo part of the Yukon, below Holy Cross, conditions on -the whole appear to be somewhat better. There has also been a -diminution in population. The majority of the old villages have -ceased to exist, while under the influence of whites some new settle<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_134" id="Page_134">[Pg 134]</a></span>ments -or names have appeared. Yet there are respectable remnants -of the Eskimo, and, being better workers than the Indian and seemingly -more coherent, they manage to sustain themselves somewhat -better than he does. Their greatest handicap is disease. The beneficial -effect among them of the old Russian Mission has declined, but -there are a number of Government schools which have a good influence. -They are more tractable, sensible, and in some respects -perhaps more able than the Indians.</p> - -<p>But there exists to-day no clear-cut demarcation, geographical, -cultural, or even physical, between the two people. Anvik, the last -Indian village downstream, is in every respect at least as much -Eskimo as Indian; more or less Eskimo-like physiognomies are seen -again and again among the Indians; and Indianlike features are common -among the Eskimo. There has either been an old and considerable -admixture on both sides, or there are some fundamental similarities -of the two groups; perhaps both.</p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">Archeology of the Yukon</span></h3> - -<p>Up to 1926 no archeological work had been done along the Yukon -or its tributaries, and barring a few isolated specimens there were no -archeological collections from these regions.</p> - -<p>The archeology of the river consists, (1) of the dead but formerly -known villages; (2) of older sites, "dead" and unknown before even -the Russians arrived; and (3) of random stone objects worked by -man that now and then are washed out from the river banks or are -found in working the ground. Except in details conditions are much -alike along the whole river and will best be dealt with as a whole.</p> - - -<h4>THE RANDOM SPECIMENS</h4> - -<p>Wherever the beach of the river shows more or less of stones -that are not talus or just pebbles, there are generally found stones -worked by man. Such localities are scarce. The first exists between -Tanana (the village) and the mission above it. Here specimens are -found occasionally on the beach and occasionally in the soil of the -local gardens. Other such sites were located at Bonasila, below -Anvik, and in four places between Paimute and the Russian Mission. -A few are also present from Marshall seaward.</p> - -<p>An examination of the terrain adjacent to such parts of the beach -shows mostly, but not always, traces of an old settlement.</p> - -<p>The specimens consist of characteristic axes or adzes, stone scrapers, -hammers, stone knives (along the Eskimo part of the river), -tomahawk heads (probably), objects less well defined, and chips. -There may be semifossilized animal bones, and rarely a bit of char<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_135" id="Page_135">[Pg 135]</a></span>coal, -a piece of pottery (for details see Narrative), or an object of -ivory.</p> - -<p>The ax proper is peculiar. It is a cupid's-bow ax, double-edged, -and with one or two grooves across its middle. (Pl. 10.) It is as -a rule made of heavy basaltic stone, and its edges are sharpened by -polishing. Rough parts may have been polished also on the body. -Its distal surface is convex (from sharp edge to sharp edge), its -proximal surface straight or mildly convex. I succeeded in getting -a specimen remounted recently by one of the Indians near Tanana. -This form of an ax is still remembered by the old Indians when in -use. They cut trees with it, cutting sidewise and detaching the wood -in splinters. They also remember clubs with stone heads, and told -me they were carried on the back over the right shoulder so as -to be ready for instant and effective use.</p> - -<p>These axes have apparently been used by both the Indians and the -Eskimo, but there is an interesting difference. The several specimens -I obtained or saw from Tanana to Ruby were all complete. But -from, about the vicinity of Ruby downstream the bi-edged ax seems -to disappear, or, rather, one-half of it disappears, the butt henceforth -either being left unfinished or one-half of the double ax being -broken off and the remainder being mounted now as an adze on a -shorter handle. This form, and it exclusively, with various secondary -modifications, is found over a wide area among the Eskimo -and may reach into Asia, for I obtained a specimen of it from one -of the Diomede Islands. It connects directly with the Bering Sea -Eskimo ivory adze and chisel. On the other hand the bi-edged ax -appears, in various modifications, to extend widely over Indian -Alaska.</p> - -<p>The remaining stone implements need but little mention here. -They will be studied and reported separately by our archeologist. -A special note will, however, be necessary later about the very primitive -stone industry of Bonasila, below Anvik. (See p. <a href="#Page_144">144</a>.)</p> - -<p>Of pottery I have seen no example above Anvik, but this can -not be taken as evidence of its absence above that point. At Anvik, -Bonasila, and farther down the pottery is like that of the western -Eskimo. It is coarse ware, hand shaped, and of rather poor quality. -It consists of small round bowls to fairly large, more or less conical, -jars. It is never painted but is frequently decorated with thumb -marks and especially with grooves running parallel with the border.</p> - -<p>Ivory implements were encountered first at Bonasila and consisted -of a few fine long points barbed on one side, looking like those of -the Eskimo and probably of Eskimo origin. There were also a few -tools of bone, generally scrapers.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_136" id="Page_136">[Pg 136]</a></span></p> - -<p>Russian beads, especially those of the large blue variety, are occasionally -encountered, usually singly or in small numbers, especially -in some spots.</p> - -<p>A unique archeological specimen from the lower middle portion -of the Yukon Valley is the large stone dish obtained by Mr. Müller, -the trader at Kaltag. (See p. <a href="#Page_34">34</a>.)</p> - -<p>Besides these random specimens, other cultural objects are found -along the Yukon in connection with old burials. These consist of -an occasional wooden dish, sharpening or polishing stones, rarely a -figurine (doll?) in ivory, Russian snuffboxes, fire sticks, dishes of -birch bark, etc. The cullings in this field are quite poor, but there -has been no excavation of older burials that have been assimilated by -the tundra and lie now in the earth beneath.</p> - -<p>The archeology of the old habitation sites, on the other hand, -particularly perhaps on the Shageluk and between Holy Cross and -Marshall, is decidedly promising and invites careful excavation.</p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">Location of Villages and Sites on the Yukon</span></h3> - -<p>Especial attention was given to the location of the numerous dead -villages and older sites along the Yukon. This task was found, in -most instances, fairly easy with villages that "died" since the -Russo-American occupation, for mostly they still show plain traces -and are generally remembered by the old Indians or even old white -settlers. Their precise allocation on a map, however, is not always -easy or certain. As to the prehistoric sites the search is much more -difficult and depends largely on chance discoveries.</p> - -<p>The villages still existing give only a partial clue, in many cases, -to the old, even where these bore the same name, for on occasions a -village changed its location, though remaining in the same general -vicinity and retaining the same name. Thus there existed at different -times apparently, between the earliest contacts with whites and -the present, at least 2 Nuklukhayets, 2 Lowdens, 3 Nulatos, 3 Kaltags, -2 Anviks, etc.; besides which there were differences in recording the -names and changes due to efforts at translation of the native term, -or an application by the whites of a new name, often that of a trader -or settler, to an old site.</p> - -<p>In places even late village sites, in others burials, were witnessed -being undermined by the river or the sea. Such sites with their contents -will probably sooner or later be completely lost from this -cause. Many doubtless have thus been lost previously.</p> - -<p>The villages and sites located along the Yukon are here enumerated -and as far as possible charted. Information about them was -obtained from the older Indians or river Eskimo and from such -whites as had direct knowledge in that line. Most of these sites were -examined personally, but in some instances this was impossible. The -details concerning those seen will be found in the Narrative, but a -few generalizations may here be useful.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 700px;"> -<div class="caption"><p><span class="bureau">BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY</span> <span class="plate">FORTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT PLATE 9</span><br /></p> -</div> -<img src="images/plate_9a.jpg" width="700" height="421" alt="" /> -<div class="caption"><p><em>a</em>, My "spoils," loaded on sled, Point Hope.

The -most interesting of these was found at Bonasila, beneath the old -site of Makki or Magimute, 18 miles downstream from Anvik. (See -Narrative.) The main facts concerning this site are as follows:</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 700px;"> -<img src="images/figure_10a.jpg" width="700" height="450" alt="" /> -<div class="caption"><p><span class="smcap">Figure 10.</span>—The Yukon from near Marshall to below Kavlingnak</p></div> -</div> - -<p>At the above distance from Anvik, on the right bank of the river -and following a wooded hill, is a low flat backed by rising ground -and cut across by a little stream. The flat is narrow, at present about -300 feet; and the part above the stream is deeply pitted by the remains -of semisubterranean houses of a "dead" native village, which -I believe is identifiable with the Magimute of the Russians. On the -slope behind the village were still about a score of old surface burials, -with an article here and there of Russian derivation.</p> - -<p>The bank of the flat rises at present only about 4 feet above the -beach of the river, but the flat behind is higher. The bank itself -contains many specimens showing human workmanship, consisting -of objects of stone, birch bark, bone, and rarely also of ivory, besides -many fragments of pottery, many bones of wild Alaskan animals, -and here and there a human skeleton. Some of these objects are low -down in the bank. All the bones from the bank, including the -human, and even the rare points of ivory, are semifossilized; the -stone industry is peculiar; and the human remains differ plainly from -both those of the later Yukon Indian and from those of the Eskimo. -They are apparently Indian (see section on physical characteristics), -but a tall Indian of a type that now is only met with much farther -south.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_143" id="Page_143">[Pg 143]</a></span></p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 366px;"> -<img src="images/figure_11a.jpg" width="366" height="700" alt="" /> -<div class="caption"><p><span class="smcap">Figure 11.</span>—From above Kobolunuk to mouth of river</p></div> -</div> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_144" id="Page_144">[Pg 144]</a></span></p> - -<p>The stone industry from the bank appeared at first sight so -primitive that even the term "paleolithic" would not fit and the -only term that seemed to meet the situation was "protolithic." It -consists predominantly of scrapers and knockers, with here and there -a tool sharpened for cutting. The scrapers look especially crude. -They consist simply of pieces of smaller or larger andesite-like volcanic -slabs broken to the desired size and chipped more or less -roughly along what was to be the scraping edge. A closer examination -of the stones, which were obtained from a base of a cliff -farther down the river, showed, however, that they were of material -which is hard to work, and that the chipping, under the circumstances, -was not really bad. (Pls. 11, 12.) Pottery must have been -fairly plentiful and quite up to the average of the river, both in make -and decoration.</p> - -<p>Two fine long, partly fossilized ivory points picked up formerly -on the site were obtained from Mr. Lawrence. They are handsomely -barbed on one side and show a high grade of skill. They must have -come from the Bering Sea and may belong to the old fine ivory -culture of the western part of that region, of which more later.</p> - -<p>There are also some fairly ancient sites farther down the river -(see Narrative), but just what they are and how old remains to be -determined.</p> - -<p>A report on the archeological remains from the bank of Bonasila -by Mr. H. W. Krieger, one of the curators of the Department of -Anthropology, United States National Museum, follows:</p> -<div class="chapter"></div> -<hr class="chap" /> - - - - -<h2>ARCHEOLOGY OF CENTRAL ALASKA</h2> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">Ancient Stone Culture</span></h3> - -<p>"Until the results of Doctor Hrdlička's Alaskan reconnaissance -were first made known to science it had been generally assumed that -Alaskan and Canadian subboreal regions were archeologically barren. -It had been currently accepted that only as one approached -the great river valleys of the Skeena, the Fraser, and the Columbia -could anthropological exploration be conducted to advantage. One -might expect to uncover cemeteries and ancient village sites only -there where a dense and sedentary population had long been established. -Through the discovery of ancient village sites and centers<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_145" id="Page_145">[Pg 145]</a></span> -of population in the lower and middle Yukon River Valley, Doctor -Hrdlička has extended the northern archeological horizon into the -sub-Arctic.</p> - -<p>"Of the many sites examined, the old village site at Bonasila, 18 -miles below the confluence of the Anvik and Yukon Rivers, yielded -the most interesting data. Crudely flaked implements of trap rock -with cutting edges showing evidence of chipping and grinding were -uncovered. These implements are unique among Alaskan artifacts -and have no relationship with known types of Eskimo or Indian -stonework. In the shaping technic employed by their aboriginal -makers; in form, and in type; and, generally, in their undeveloped -character, the stone artifacts from Bonasila and other ancient archeological -sites on the middle Yukon may be classified as primitive -neolithic.</p> - -<p>"The stone implements uncovered at Bonasila are so crudely fashioned -and are apparently of such an improvised nature as to suggest -an extreme conservatism in culture development, or perhaps a -degeneration, due largely to lack of better materials. Due to the -lack of basalt, jadeite, or other hard stone in the valley of the lower -middle Yukon, recourse was had to sandstone and trap rock by the -primitive makers of stone axes and celts.</p> - -<p>"Crude pottery vessels and potsherds were discovered associated -with the objects of stone. This ware incorporates elementary decorative -designs distinct from the known historic Eskimo or Indian -types of pottery decoration. There can be no intimation that this -ware is archaic or that it belongs to any archaic culture offshoot -from farther south. It therefore becomes a question of some unknown -earlier Asiatic culture connection that manifested itself in -crude forms of flaked and ground stone implements and in unique -pottery forms. It is uncertain that the ancient fossil ivory culture -of northwest Alaska, of which Doctor Hrdlička has brought in some -excellent examples, is in any manner associated with the primitive -neolithic stone and pottery forms uncovered at Bonasila. It is -established, however, beyond a doubt that both cultures and types of -artifacts are Asiatic in origin and have little or no connection with -the culture of the western Eskimo.</p> - -<p>"The Eskimos of the lower Yukon Valley made extensive use of -slate and of jadeite in the production of their polished knives and -celts. Slate knives and polished celts of jadeite are characteristic of -Eskimoan culture throughout the whole of its extent in Alaska. -Each of these materials as well as the finished products shaped from -them were subjects of native barter. Eskimos often undertook long -journeys for their procurement. It is therefore noteworthy that no<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_146" id="Page_146">[Pg 146]</a></span> -single object fashioned from slate or jadeite and but few points of -fossilized ivory were recovered at any of the sites characterized by -the primitive stone culture and pottery of the Bonasila type.</p> - -<p>"The most characteristic finds at Bonasila are the crudely flaked -implements of stone, some of which show incipient chipping and -grinding. The coarse type of pottery is unlike that of the modern -Eskimo in tempering, firing, and decorative design.</p> - -<p>"The stone culture of the site, although rich in forms, is deficient -in technical development and is scarcely worthy of being classed as -neolithic. There were found in numbers the following types of -artifacts: Circular, discoidal stone pebbles with rim fractures due -to use; river wash pebbles of irregular form used as improvised -scrapers and hammerstones; basaltic, discoidal hammerstones with -abraded edges and pitted at the center; large flake saws of trachyte -(trap rock) triangular in section but provided with sharply -fractured cutting edges; slender flaked fragments of trap rock -tapered to the form of wedges with intentionally worked end sections -and cutting edges; crudely flaked stone knives with evidence of -secondary chipping at cutting edges; other knives of thin slabs of -trap rock with flaked and bilaterally ground beveled cutting edges; -oblong axes of flaked sandstone with hafting notches struck off at -the edges midway from the base; abrading tools of sandstone; celts -of sandstone with ground and beveled working edge and notched -for hafting as an ax; stone scrapers with ground and beveled cutting -edges; fragmentary perforators of stone; re-chipped, flaked -knives shaped by grinding; roughly worked, multiple-grooved -hammers or mauls; and many stone objects unformed and unworked -but classified generally as hammerstones.</p> - - -<h4>THE POTTERY</h4> - -<p>"About a hundred pottery shards and smaller pottery vessels were -recovered from the site at Bonasila. Pottery vessels representative -of the Bonasila culture were shaped out of the solid and show no -trace of coiling. In this respect they conform to the generalized -north Asiatic and Eskimo ware. There is, however, no check stamp -decorative design that is applied with a paddle by the Eskimo nor -evidence that pottery vessels had been built up about a basketry base. -The paste is light buff or gray in color, the buff ware being better -fired and of the same color on the inside, while the gray ware is either -gray or black on the inner surface. A well-defined unfired area covers -one-half of the sectional diameter. Both buff and gray wares show -evidence of better firing than in modern Eskimo pottery. Tempering<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_147" id="Page_147">[Pg 147]</a></span> -is of coarse fragments of steatite, which is much more durable than -tempering materials such as blood, feathers, and ashes formerly employed -by the primitive Eskimo potter.</p> - -<p>"The pottery from Bonasila is utilitarian and consists of shallow -spherical lamps, globose bowls, and cooking pots without feet or -bases. The ware is coarse, side walls and bottom varying from 1 to -2 centimeters in sectional thickness. This type of pottery is practically -duplicated in shards recovered by Doctor Hrdlička from what -is now Eskimo territory in the Yukon Valley near the Russian Mission. -It is probable that further search would bring to light an extensive -region yielding this type of ancient pottery of distinctive -design and unrelated either to Tinné or Eskimo ware.</p> - -<p>"Decorative attempts consist of bold incised parallel transverse -lines on the upper sector of the outer surface of the vessel. Deep -corrugations appear on the inside of the rim flare. Both corrugations -and incised line decorations were made with a paddle or wood -splinter shaped for the purpose. Some of the shards have deeply -incised punctations irregularly encircling the outer surface of the -vessel just below the rim extension.</p> - -<p>"Shallow spherical pottery lamps accompanied surface burials at -Bonasila. These lamps have a less durable tempering material than -the other pottery fragments recovered. The paste is porous and is -poorly fired. Decorative designs incised on the interior surface of -the lamps are reminiscent of typical Eskimo punctate designs as -traced on the inner circumference of rectilinear or curvilinear etchings -on ivory and bone. It is very probable that these pottery lamps -are of a later date and are of Eskimoan handicraft.</p> - - -<h4>THE ALASKAN GROOVED STONE AX<br /> - -[Pl. 10]</h4> - -<p>"The grooved stone ax is a typical New World implement. Its distribution -is limited to tribes of the eastern maize area, the Pueblo -tribes of the Southwest, the Athapascans, and the northern woodlands -tribes. Elsewhere in America grooved stone implements of any description -are rare, although not unknown. The groove for the attachment -of cord or sinew binding is common also to the stone adze, -which is characteristic of Indian tribes of the Pacific Northwest and -of the Eskimo of Arctic America. The distribution of the stone adze -is more intensive but is much less extensive than is that of the grooved -stone ax and appears to be an environmental form borrowed from -the Arctic tribes by the Indian of southeast Alaska and of British -Columbia.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_148" id="Page_148">[Pg 148]</a></span></p> - -<p>"The double-bitted, multiple-grooved stone ax has two areas of distribution -in North America. One of these is the country of the -northeastern woodlands Indians, extending as far south as the Central -Atlantic States. The other area of distribution is the extreme northwest, -or the mainland of Alaska.</p> - -<p>"In the collection brought to the National Museum from Alaska by -Doctor Hrdlička are eight grooved stone implements. All but one -of these have cutting edges for use as axes or adzes. The exception, -Cat. No. 332809, U.S.N.M., is a grooved spherical stone maul or -club 9.5 centimeters (3.7 inches) long and 7.5 centimeters (2.9 -inches) in sectional diameter. This grooved object was found near -Tanana on the beach of the Yukon River. Like the grooved stone -axes in Doctor Hrdlička's collection, the groove is incomplete. A -flattened space of approximately 2 centimeters is left un-grooved for -the hafting of a flat surfaced handle end with binding, which is -passed around the transverse groove and then through a hole in the -wooden handle.</p> - -<p>"Three single-grooved, double-bitted stone axes were collected from -various points on the Yukon River. These are of interest because -of their similar grooving and double cutting edges. Each is identical -in form, each has been shaped by pecking, except in the sector near -the cutting edges where they have been sharpened and polished by -grinding. Between the raised borders of the centrally pecked groove -and the cutting edges the surface has been shaped to a slight concavity -by pecking. In Cat. No. 332805, U.S.N.M., this concavity -is replaced by a well-defined convex bevel. The pecked groove is -at right angles to the longitudinal axis and is comparatively shallow -but has a wide diameter of 2 centimeters or more. The material is -uniformly of basalt.

One was plowed -up in a field near Matanuska and is now in the chamber of commerce -exhibit at Anchorage, while another was collected in 1927 by the writer -from near Chitna, Alaska. This Alaskan type of grooved ax is -practically identical with that of the central Atlantic seaboard -States, as figured by Walter Hough in the Proceedings of the United -States National Museum, volume 60, article 9, page 14.</p> - -<p>"Another grooved type of stone object brought to the National -Museum by Doctor Hrdlička is a stone war club of unusual type. -It was found on the Yukon River beach 1½ miles below the Mis<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_149" id="Page_149">[Pg 149]</a></span>sion -at Tanana. It is 20 centimeters (7.9 inches) long and is slender, -the maximum sectional diameter being but 3.5 centimeters (1.4 -inches). Like the single-grooved axes, it was shaped by pecking, -but much of the surface was also ground. The reverse or hafting -surface is flat; the obverse is convexly tapered to sharp cutting -edges which are at right angles to the haft. The material is basalt. -The hafting grooves, two in number, are comparatively deep and -closely spaced. As to form this stone weapon is unique, appearing, -so far as is known to the writer, nowhere else on the American -Continent. It has been entered on the records of the National -Museum as Cat. No. 332807, U.S.N.M.</p> - -<p>"One form of the double-bitted, multiple-grooved stone axes resembles -closely ivory forms made from walrus tusks in the Bering Sea -region. This form also gives evidence of secondary modification, -specimens having been broken intentionally to reduce the tool to a -simple adze. The material is basalt and its range in the north is -limited to the Eskimo area, but becomes widespread to the south in -southeastern Alaska and in British Columbia. The form of this -widely diffused stone adze is approximated in a series of broken -stone axes collected by Doctor Hrdlička. Two such broken and -originally double-bitted axes, Cat. Nos. 332806 and 332810, U.S.N.M., -were collected from the banks of the Yukon at an old village site -below Anvik. These axes are broken with a crude irregular fracture -just above the upper transverse groove. Another stone ax, Cat. -No. 332812, U.S.N.M., is from Ruby, Alaska, and is practically identical -with the double-bitted but single-grooved stone ax from Tanana.</p> - -<p>"It would appear from this brief presentation that there is a remarkable -similarity of form, approaching identity, in the ancient -stone axes from the river valleys of central Alaska. Whether the -particular ax has one cutting edge or is double-bitted; whether it is -provided with one or with two parallel transverse hafting grooves, -the general identity of form remains. The striking thing about the -presence of the double-bitted ax among archeological finds from central -Alaska is that we do not find it represented in such numbers -anywhere until it again reappears in the Atlantic seaboard States. -The very interesting cultural objects discovered by Doctor Hrdlička -and supplemented by my collection in 1927 show that Alaska is far -from sterile or fully known archeologically and make further exploration -both promising and important."</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_150" id="Page_150">[Pg 150]</a></span></p> -<div class="chapter"></div> -<hr class="chap" /> - - - - -<h2>ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE YUKON</h2> - - -<p>Notes on the physique of the Yukon natives are found in the reports -of all the explorers of the river, but they are imperfect and of little -scientific value; the principal ones are given below.<a name="FNanchor_26_26" id="FNanchor_26_26"></a><a href="#Footnote_26_26" class="fnanchor">[26]</a> Anthropometric -observations on the living people of the middle and lower -Yukon, with its tributaries, are nonexistent.<a name="FNanchor_27_27" id="FNanchor_27_27"></a><a href="#Footnote_27_27" class="fnanchor">[27]</a> As to crania, there -are a few measurements on two "Yukon Indian" skulls (No. 7530, -and probably No. 7531), and on three crania of the Yukon Eskimo, -by Jeffries Wyman (Proc.

For -present purposes it will suffice to take the males alone and to restrict -consideration to the long bones. The essential data on these are -given on page <a href="#Page_160">160</a>, where they are contrasted with those of North -American Indians in general, and with those of the western Eskimo.</p> - -<p>The bones show both relations to as well as differences from the -bones of Indians in general and fair distinctness from those of the -Eskimo.</p> - -<p>Contrasted with the long bones of miscellaneous North American -tribes taken together, the Yukon Indian bones show absolutely -slightly shorter humerus (or arm), somewhat shorter radius (or -forearm), a slightly shorter femur (or upper part of the leg), and -a plainly shorter tibia. These Indians had therefore relatively somewhat -shorter forearm and especially the leg below the knees than their -continental cousins. These facts are plainly evident from the radio-humeral -and tibio-femoral indices of the two groups. In this relative -shortness of the distal parts of the limbs the Yukon Indian approaches -the Eskimo, standing near midway between the Indian in -general and the Eskimo. There might be a ready temptation to -attribute this to a mixture with the Eskimo; but an examination of -the records will show that the same condition, so far at least as the -upper limb is concerned (lower?), is already present in the old -Bonasila skeleton, which gives no suggestion of an Eskimo mixture. -It is more likely, therefore, that these are generalized characteristics -of functional origin such as a considerable use of the small canoes. -This view seems to be supported by the relative strength of the bones. -In the Yukon Indian the humerus is stouter, the femur of the same -strength, and the tibia very perceptibly weaker than they are in Indians -in general. In the Eskimo, with even greater dependence on the -canoe, both the humerus and the femur are notably stouter, while -the tibia is weaker, than are similar bones in the Indians in general.</p> - -<p>The humero-femoral index in the Yukon Indians is unusually -high, indicating a relative shortness of the femur. This character -is not present in the Eskimo, nor in the continental Indian. It is -probably also of old functional origin, though, this for the present -must remain a mere suggestion.</p> - -<p>All of this shows clearly the interest and value of other skeletal -parts than the skull, and particularly of the long bones, for anthropological -studies.</p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">Skeletal Remains from the Bank at Bonasila</span></h3> - -<p>The skeletal material from the bank at Bonasila consists now of -portions of three adult skulls, one male and two females, and of 13 -bones of the male skeleton. All the specimens are more or less<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_157" id="Page_157">[Pg 157]</a></span> -stained by manganese and iron and all are distinctly heavier than -normal, showing some grade of fossilization. They closely resemble -in all these respects the numerous animal bones from the bank and -in all differ from the later surface burials of the place.</p> - - -<h4>THE CRANIA</h4> - -<p>The male skull, No. 332513, is represented by the frontal bone -united with a larger part of the face, a separated left temporal, and -the right half of the lower jaw. A large Inca bone, recovered from -the beach a year later, may also belong to the same specimen. The -missing parts are probably still somewhere in the sands of the -beach where there is going on a very instructive scattering and redeposition -on a 4 to 6 feet lower level of the contents of the old bank.</p> - -<p>The skull is that of a male of somewhat over 50 years of age, judging -from the moderate to marked wear of the remaining teeth. It is -a normal undeformed specimen, and the same applies to the bones -of the skeleton.</p> - -<p><em>Notes and measurements.</em>—The frontal shows a medium development, -no slope.

In none of their characteristics are the bones near to those -of the Eskimo, making it doubly certain that the subject was not of -that affiliation. Compared with those of the later Indians of the -same territory, the bones show in one line remarkable differences, in -another remarkable likenesses. The differences concern all the relative -proportions of the shafts—the bones of the old skeleton give -without exception indices that are markedly lower; they are distinctly -more platybrachic, platymeric, and platycnaemic. But the -more basic humero-femoral and radio-humeral indices are practically<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_160" id="Page_160">[Pg 160]</a></span> -the same; showing fundamental identity. The humero-femoral -index is especially important in this case. It is exceptionally high in -the Yukon Indians, due to a relatively long humerus, and the same -condition is seen in the old skeleton. It seems safe, therefore, to -conclude that the owner of the old skeleton was not only an Indian -but an Indian of the same physical stock from which were derived -the later Indians of the Yukon; but he was evidently of an earlier -and different tribe or of a purer derivation than those who followed. -To more fully establish and then trace this type, both as to its -derivation and extension, will be tasks of future importance.</p> -

Collins, jr., succeeded in measuring six adult males -at Marshall.</p> - -<p>In general, the people of the Yukon delta and from this to Paimute -are true Eskimo. By this is meant that in the majority of individuals -they can readily be told as a type apart from the Indian and -belonging plainly to that of the extensive family of the Eskimo. -But when the differences are to be defined the task is not easy; some -of the distinguishing marks, though well appreciated, are somewhat -intangible.</p> - -<p>The physical differences are essentially those of the physiognomy. -The head is neither narrow nor scaphoid, or even very high. The -Indian face is more prominent and more sculptured; that of the -Eskimo appears fuller, especially in the lower part, and flatter. Part -of this is due to the bony structure, part to the differing amounts -of fat. An eversion of the angles of the lower jaw, which is relatively -frequent and sometimes excessive in the Eskimo male while almost -absent in the Indian, may give the Eskimo face almost a square appearance. -Take with this the seemingly somewhat low Eskimo forehead, -the not very widely open and somewhat on the whole more -slanting eye, and the characteristic Eskimo nose with its rather -narrow and not prominent nasal bridge, the ridiculous monk-like cut -of the hair (in the older males), the often rather full lips with, in -the males, a tuft of sparse mustache above each corner of the mouth; -add to all this a mostly smiling or ready-to-smile "full-moon" expression, -and it would be impossible to take the subject for anything -else than an Eskimo. The Indian's face is more set, less fat, in the -males at least, less broad below, with seemingly a higher forehead, -sensibly made-up hair, not seldom a bit more mustache, and a nose -that generally is both broader and more prominent.</p> - -<p>But the differences are less marked in the women and still less so -in the children, especially where similarly combed and clothed. And -there are, particularly on the Yukon, not a few of both Indian and -Eskimo who even an expert is at a loss where to class. They may be -due to old mixtures; no new ones are taking place; but it seems that -there may be present another important factor, that of a far-back -related parentage.</p> - -<p>In the color of the skin and eyes, in the color and nature of the -hair, there is no marked difference between the two peoples of the -Yukon. In stature the Eskimos are slightly higher.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_162" id="Page_162">[Pg 162]</a></span></p> - - -<h4>MEASUREMENTS ON LIVING YUKON ESKIMO</h4> - -<p>The exact provenience of the six men measured at Marshall is -uncertain, but they seemingly were all from the lower Yukon and -all were apparently full-blood Eskimo. But the measurements are -rather peculiar. They are given, for comparison, with those of the -western Eskimo in general (p. <a href="#Page_165">165</a>). They approach nearest to those -of the Togiak Eskimo, well down below the Kuskokwim. They -show a higher stature than all of their relations farther south, except -the Togiaks, and they have a rounder head. They are, in fact, -moderate brachycephals, a very unexpected form in this strain of -people. The Togiaks also are brachycephalic. The vault is relatively -somewhat higher than it is in the other groups, though the -height is not excessive. The nose is slightly lower as well as narrower -than it is in all the other contingents. The face is close to -those of St. Lawrence Island. The ear is perceptibly smaller and -especially narrower than elsewhere, but perhaps the age factor enters -into the case. The hand is much like that of Togiak and St. Lawrence, -the index being identical.</p> - -<p>The brachycephaly of the group for the present is hard to explain. -It can not be ascribed to a mixture with the river Indians, for these, -as has been seen from the skulls, were meso- rather than brachycephalic. -There is need here for further inquiry.</p> - - -<h4>SKELETAL REMAINS OF YUKON ESKIMO</h4> - -<p>As with the Indian, such remains are still rare. Some measurements -of three "Smithsonian Mahlemute" skulls from the Yukon, -collected by William H. Dall, are given by Jeffries Wyman, and -probably the same specimens appear in the Otis Catalogue, the measurements -in which are regrettably not very reliable. These specimens -can not now be located, and the scarce data are of but little -value. The three skulls examined by Wyman were all mesocephalic.</p> - -<p>It is now possible to report on 40 adult skulls from the lower -Yukon and the delta. An abstract of the measurements is given in -the next table. The data indicate a considerable local variation. -All the skulls, or very nearly all, are mesocephalic; but they differ -considerably in height and in all the facial features. The Pilot -Station group, from the apex of the delta, and hence the midst of -the Eskimo territory on the Yukon, is especially peculiar. Both the -vault and the face, in the series as a whole, range from low to high, -and much the same is true of the height of the nose and that of the -orbits, while the palate is exceptionally broad, giving a low index, -all of which would seem to indicate instability or conditions in<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_163" id="Page_163">[Pg 163]</a></span> -change, together probably with admixtures from farther up the -river. We need more material, particularly from the stretch of the -river between the apex of the delta and Paimute.</p> - -<div class="center"> -<table class="border" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="YUKON ESKIMO CRANIA"> -

Moore, -1927 expedition by H. B. Collins, jr., and T. D. Stewart, all of the -National Museum.</p> - -<p>The Yukon Eskimo show perceptibly longer bones than do either -the Indians or the southeastern and midwestern Eskimo, indicating -a somewhat taller stature.</p> - -<p>The humerus in the males is less broad than either in the Indians -or the midwestern and southwestern Eskimo and has as a consequence -high shaft index; but in the females the index in the Yukon and -western Eskimo series is identical. The radius is relatively even -shorter in the Yukon that it is in the other Eskimo, giving low radio-humeral -index.</p> - -<p>The femur is notably less platymeric in the male and slightly less -so in the female Yukon Eskimo than it is in both the Indians and -the rest of the southwestern and midwestern Eskimo, giving a higher -index at the upper flattening. The meaning of these facts is not -obvious and they may undergo some modification with more material.</p> - -<p>As to strength, measured by the mean diameter of the shafts, the -Yukon Eskimo in comparison to the southwestern and midwestern -show a slightly weaker humerus, and in the males a slightly weaker -femur at middle, but in the males again, a slightly stronger tibia. -If, however, the mean diameters of the bones are taken in relation -to the length of the bones, then in both sexes and in all the parts the -southwestern and midwestern Eskimo are slightly stronger. This -would seem to indicate more exertion, with harder life, among the -coastal and insular than among the river Eskimo. As a matter of -fact Kotlik and the near-by Pastolik, from which our skeletons came, -were favorably situated at the northern mouth of the river.</p> - -<p>The Yukon Eskimo females, as compared with the males, have a -somewhat weaker and especially somewhat flatter humerus, with a -consequently lower shaft index; they have relatively even a shorter -radius, giving a lower radio-humeral index; their humerus itself is -relatively short, giving a lower humero-femoral index; their femur is -relatively somewhat flatter at the upper flattening, giving a lower -index of platymery; while their tibia is relatively less strong antero-posteriorly, -resulting in an index that is more than four points higher -than that of the males.</p> -

Until the 1926 Smithsonian expedition nothing whatever -had been done in this line in the Eskimo parts of the southwestern -coasts of Alaska<a name="FNanchor_46_46" id="FNanchor_46_46"></a><a href="#Footnote_46_46" class="fnanchor">[46]</a> or on the Kuskokwim or Yukon Rivers.</p> - -<p>Some time between 1877 and 1881 E. W. Nelson made limited excavations -on St. Michael Island<a name="FNanchor_47_47" id="FNanchor_47_47"></a><a href="#Footnote_47_47" class="fnanchor">[47]</a> (see p. <a href="#Page_170">170</a>) and also dug on Whale -Island.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_166" id="Page_166">[Pg 166]</a></span></p> - -<p>In 1912 V. Stefánsson excavated at Barrow.<a name="FNanchor_48_48" id="FNanchor_48_48"></a><a href="#Footnote_48_48" class="fnanchor">[48]</a> Having two months -to spend at this place he engaged numerous Eskimo of the village and -had them excavate the native village sites in the neighborhood. He -says (p. 388): "It was a small army that turned out to dig wherever -there was a ruin or a kitchen midden, and they worked energetically -and well. While the excavations were not done as methodically and -scientifically as could have been wished, still we were able to get from -them a collection of over 20,000 archaeological specimens within the -space of six weeks. This collection (which is now safely stored in -the American Museum of Natural History) brings out many significant -and some revolutionary ideas with regard to the prehistoric -history of the Eskimo. My method was to dig as much as possible -myself, and to go around as best I could to see the others at work. In -many cases I was able to see the exact position from which the important -finds were taken." The specimens have since in part been -described by Wissler.<a name="FNanchor_49_49" id="FNanchor_49_49"></a><a href="#Footnote_49_49" class="fnanchor">[49]</a> Stefánsson brought also some archeological -specimens from Point Hope, where, however, no excavations were -made; and collected a valuable series of crania from Point Barrow.</p> - -<p>In 1917-19 excavations near Barrow were conducted by W. B. Van -Valin, leader of the John Wanamaker expedition to northwestern -Alaska, for the University Museum at Philadelphia. The excavations -were made in some mounds located about 8 miles southwest of -Barrow and about 1,000 yards back from the beach on the tundra, -and uncovered six old igloos containing, aside from many cultural -objects, the skeletal remains of 83 individuals. These remains have -since been found to be those of an intrusive group of people and to -be of special interest.<a name="FNanchor_50_50" id="FNanchor_50_50"></a><a href="#Footnote_50_50" class="fnanchor">[50]</a></p> - -<p>In 1924 Rasmussen during the last parts of his great journey -gathered numerous archeological specimens at Point Hope and from -other localities along the west coasts of Alaska.</p> - -<p>In 1926, finally, the year of my survey, some careful initial excavations, -with very interesting results, were carried on at Wales and -on the Little Diomede Island by Dr. D. Jenness, of the National -Museum of Canada, Ottawa. A preliminary report on the results -of this work has been published in the annual report of the National -Museum of Canada for 1926.</p> - -<p>Besides such more professional work a good deal of archeological -collection has been done in the regions under consideration by local -people, particularly traders and teachers; and the demand for specimens -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_167" id="Page_167">[Pg 167]</a></span>has made assiduous excavators of some of the Eskimo themselves, -particularly at Point Hope and at St. Lawrence Island.</p> - -<p>Beginning with the north, the first white man to be mentioned -in this connection is Charles Brower, the well-known trader at -Barrow. Mr. Brower has not only aided all the explorers who -have reached this northernmost point, but he has also been directly -instrumental in excavating and the making of archeological collections, -though, regrettably, some of these have been scattered.</p> - -<p>During 1925-26 there lived at Point Hope a very active and interesting -man, sent there by the Fox Film Co. to photograph the -Eskimo—Mr. Merle La Voy. La Voy, whom I met at Point Hope -and who for a time became our fellow-passenger on the <em>Bear</em>, had -not only succeeded remarkably in his own line, but had also amassed -during his stay a large archeological collection. He did not excavate -himself, and unfortunately paid no attention to the scientific -side of the case; but by offering the natives sugar, tea, chocolate, -chewing gum, tobacco, etc. in exchange for specimens, he so stimulated -them that they engaged most assiduously in the excavation, or -rather picking over as they thawed, of their old ruins, and brought -him thousands of objects, some of which are of considerable interest. -At the time of my visit there were several barrels full of specimens, -largely of stone and ivory. Skulls and bones, regrettably, were -neglected and reburied in the débris. Later this collection was -transported to San Francisco, where it remains at the date of this -writing, in Mr. La Voy's possession.</p> - -<p>At Kotzebue Mr. Tom Berryman, the trader, has made some collections -of Eskimo archeological material, from which I benefited -for the National Museum; and the local teacher, Mr. C. S. Replogle, -informed me that he had a large collection at his home in the States.</p> - -<p>At Nome I found a valuable lot of specimens in fossil ivory, pottery, -and stone, in the possession of the well-known Lomen brothers, -members of one of the foremost families in Alaska. The best parts -of this collection I was fortunate to secure for exhibit in the United -States National Museum.</p> - -<p>A large and valuable collection of western Eskimo archeological -material was made some years ago by Dr. Daniel Neuman. A part -of this collection is in the museum at Juneau; the whereabouts of -the rest and of Doctor Neuman himself I was unable to discover. -There are several collections of archeological material from the -western Eskimo region at Seattle and San Francisco, but none represents -scientific excavation.</p> - -<p>The names of Joe Bernard, Prof. H. N. Sverdrup, and O. W. -Geist should be mentioned in this connection, all having collected -archeological objects in the western Eskimo region.

The object was to obtain a good general -view of what there was in the line of archeological sites and remains, -and thus help to lay a foundation for more organized research -in the future. In addition all possible effort was made to -collect and obtain specimens of distinct archeological value.

Many of these dead villages or -sites are historic, having been abandoned, or very nearly so, since -the coming of the whites; some are older, in instances doubtless considerably -older. Collectively they offer a large, almost wholly virginal -and highly important field to American archeology. They -may contain much of the secrets of Eskimo origin and of his cultural, -as well perhaps as physical, evolution. But these secrets are -not to be given up easily. They are held within a perpetually -frozen ground, which on one hand preserves everything, but on the -other will not yield its contents except to assiduous and prolonged -labor.</p> - -<p>Ruined or "dead" villages began to be encountered by the earliest -Russian and other explorers. Beechey (1826) tells us that between -approximately the latitude of Nelson Island and Point Barrow -(60° 34´ to 71° 24´ N.) they noticed 19 (Eskimo) villages, some -of which were very small and consisted only of a few huts, and -others appeared to have been deserted a long time.<a name="FNanchor_51_51" id="FNanchor_51_51"></a><a href="#Footnote_51_51" class="fnanchor">[51]</a></p> - -<p>Hooper, in 1884, reports Eskimo ruins on the Asiatic side:</p> - -<p>"Near the extremity of the cape [Wankarem] we found the ruins -of houses similar to those now in use by the Innuits, half underground, -with frames of the bones of whales. Probably they were -former dwellings of Innuits, who for some reason crossed the -straits and attempted to establish themselves on the Siberian side. -These houses have been found by different travelers at many places -along this coast, and various causes assigned for the abandonment -of the attempt to settle here by the Innuits. * * *</p> -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_169" id="Page_169">[Pg 169]</a></span></p> -<p>"At Cape Wankarem and at other places on the Siberian coast we -found the ruins of houses similar to those now in use by the Innuits. -These houses, which have been found by different travelers at many -places along that coast, are not at all like those used by the Tchuktchis, -which, on account of the migratory habits of the reindeer -tribes, are so constructed that they can be taken down and put up -again at will."<a name="FNanchor_52_52" id="FNanchor_52_52"></a><a href="#Footnote_52_52" class="fnanchor">[52]</a></p> - -<p>Ray and Murdoch both speak of old sites. The very spot they -selected for their observatory at Barrow was one of these. Ray says -of it:</p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>"A point about 12 feet above the sea level, lying between the sea -and a small lagoon three-fourths of a mile northeast from Uglaamie, -was finally selected. The soil was firm and as dry as any unoccupied -place in that vicinity, and as it was marked by mounds of an ancient -village would be free from inundation."<a name="FNanchor_53_53" id="FNanchor_53_53"></a><a href="#Footnote_53_53" class="fnanchor">[53]</a></p></div> - -<p>And farther on:</p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>"That the ancestors of those people have made it their home for -ages is conclusively shown by the ruins of ancient villages and winter -huts along the seashore and in the interior. On the point where -the station was established were mounds marking the site of three -huts dating back to the time when they had no iron and men 'talked -like dogs'; also at Perigniak a group of mounds mark the site of -an ancient village. It stands in the midst of a marsh; a sinking of -the land causing it to be flooded and consequently abandoned, as -it is their custom to select the high and dry points of land along -the seashore for their permanent villages.

On the Siberian -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_170" id="Page_170">[Pg 170]</a></span>shore they were seen from East Cape along the Arctic coast to Cape -Wankarem....</p> - -<p>"On the shore of the bay on the southern side of St. Michael Island -I dug into an old village site where saucer-shape pits indicated the -places formerly occupied by houses. The village had been burned, -as was evident from the numerous fragments of charred timbers -mixed with the soil. In the few cubic feet of earth turned up at -this place were found a slate fish knife, an ivory spearhead, a doll, -and a toy dish, the latter two cut from bark. The men I had with -me from the village at St. Michael became so alarmed by their superstitious -feelings that I was obliged to give up the idea of getting -further aid from them in this place. I learned afterward that this -village had been built by people from Pastolik, at the mouth of the -Yukon, who went there to fish and to hunt seals before the Russians -came to the country.</p> - -<p>"On the highest point of Whale Island, which is a steep islet -just offshore near the present village of St. Michael, were the ruins -of a kashim and of several houses. The St. Michael people told me -that this place was destroyed, long before the Russians came, by a -war party from below the Yukon mouth. The sea has encroached -upon the islet until a portion of the land formerly occupied by the -village has been washed away. The permanently frozen soil at this -place stopped us at the depth of about 2 feet. Here, and at another -ancient Unalit village site which was examined superficially, we -found specimens of bone and ivory carvings which were very ancient, -as many of them crumbled to pieces on being exposed.</p> - -<p>"Along the lower Yukon are many indications of villages destroyed -by war parties. According to the old men these parties -came from Askinuk and Kushunuk, near the Kuskokwim, as there -was almost constant warfare between the people of these two sections -before the advent of the Russians.</p> - -<p>"Both the fur traders and the Eskimo claim that there are a large -number of house sites on the left bank of the Yukon,<a name="FNanchor_56_56" id="FNanchor_56_56"></a><a href="#Footnote_56_56" class="fnanchor">[56]</a> a few miles -below Ikogmut. This is the village that the Yukon Eskimo say had -35 kashims, and there are many tales relating to the period when it -was occupied. At the time of my Yukon trips this site was heavily -covered with snow, and I could not see it; but it would undoubtedly -well repay thorough excavation during the summer months. One -of the traditions is that this village was built by people from Bristol -Bay, joined by others from Nunivak Island and Kushunuk. One -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_171" id="Page_171">[Pg 171]</a></span>informant said that a portion of this village was occupied up to -1848, when the last inhabitant died of smallpox, but whether or not -this is true I was unable to learn.</p> - -<p>"Another informant told me that near the entrance of Goodnews -Bay, near the mouth of the Kuskokwim, there is a circular pit about -75 feet in diameter, marking the former site of a very large kashim. -A few miles south of Shaktolik, near the head of Norton Sound, I -learned of the existence of a large village site. Both the Eskimo -and the fur traders who told me of this said that the houses had been -those of Shaktolik people, and that some of them must have been -connected by underground passageways, judging from the ditch-like -depressions from one to the other along the surface of the ground. -The Shaktolik men who told me this said that there were many other -old village sites about there and that they were once inhabited by a -race of very small people who have all disappeared.</p> - -<p>"From the Malemut of Kotzebue Sound and adjacent region I -learned that there are many old village sites in that district. Many -of these places were destroyed by war parties of Tinné from the -interior, according to the traditions of the present inhabitants.</p> - -<p>"On Elephant Point, at the head of the Kotzebue Sound, I saw -the site of an old village, with about 15 pits marking the locations -of the houses. The pits sloped toward the center and showed by their -outlines that the houses had been small and roughly circular, with a -short passageway leading into them, the entire structure having been -partly underground.</p> - -<p>"The Eskimo of East Cape, Siberia, said that there were many -old village sites along the coast in that vicinity. These houses had -stone foundations, many of which are still in place. There is a large -ruined village of this kind near the one still occupied on the cape.</p> - -<p>"On the extreme point of Cape Wankarem, and at its greatest -elevation, just above the present camp of the Reindeer Chukchi, a -series of three sites of old Eskimo villages were found."</p> - -<p>To this, on pages <a href="#Page_269">269</a> et seq., Nelson adds an account of the villages -that "died" on St. Lawrence Island during the winter of 1879-80. -Capt.

In -this endeavor I was aided by many whose services are hereby gratefully -acknowledged. Especial thanks are due to Captain Cochran<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_172" id="Page_172">[Pg 172]</a></span> -with the officers and men of the <em>Bear</em>, particularly Boatswain H. -Berg; to the Lomen brothers and their esteemed father, at Nome; -to Father B. La Fortune and the Reverend Baldwin at Nome; to -Mr. Sylvester Chance, superintendent of the northwestern district, -Bureau of Education; to Mr. Charles D. Brower, trader at Barrow; -to Mr. Jim Allen, trader at Wainwright; and to Dr. E. P. Walker, -head of the Biological Survey of Alaska. The list to follow, supplemented -by maps, will give in brief the name, location, and description -of the remains.</p> - -<p>The old sites occur, (1) in the form of refuse heaps; (2) as late -village sites, smaller or larger areas of ground covered with mostly -circular elevations and depressions, with occasionally the wooden remains -of igloos or kashims, or only partly ruined dwellings; such -remains are the most common; (3) as old village sites in the form of -a long irregular ridge mound or of more or less separate heaps; -(4) as heaps or "mounds" of individual structures. And as -"passed" sites, covered completely by sand or silt and unknown until -uncovered through the washing away by the sea or rivers of some of -the deposits.</p> - -<p>In addition there are the remains of burial grounds which are -occasionally marked by small low mounds or hummocks produced by -decayed burials that have been more or less assimilated by the tundra. -Stony beaches with chips, implements, etc., such as are found off old -sites on the Yukon, have not been seen in the region now dealt with -in any instance.</p> - -<p>The ruined dwellings and communal houses throughout this region, -with a few minor exceptions, were of one general type. They were -circular, yurta-shaped, semisubterranean structures, with a more or -less subterranean tunnel approach, built of hewn driftwood and -earth. These dwellings, when the wood decays and the dome falls -in, leave characteristic saucer-and-handle-like depressions. But -where such dwellings were close, and especially where they were -heaped up or superimposed on older ones, the remains, together with -the refuse, may form an irregular elevated ridge or a large irregular -mound.</p> - -<p>On the Diomede Islands the dwellings are built of stone, and ruins -of stone houses have been reported to me from inland of the westernmost -parts of the Seward Peninsula. Stone dwellings were also -known on Norton Sound.</p> - -<p>Some of the ridges and heaps, as at Shishmaref, Point Hope, one -of the Punuk Islands, etc., are large and may be up to 15 feet and over -in depth, but mostly the remains are of moderate to small size. The -latter sometimes could easily be confounded with natural formations. -The older remains may superficially be indistinguishable even to an<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_173" id="Page_173">[Pg 173]</a></span> -experienced observer; and if there is anything still more ancient, it -lies somewhere in the old sands and beaches where, except through -some fortunate accident, it can not be discovered. Except for their -surface, the remains are generally frozen hard, and no excavation is -possible except through gradual exposure and the melting of layer -after layer by the warmth of the sun or a melting of the ground -with water or by some other artificial means.</p> - -<p>Some at least of these ruins are rich archeologically. They greatly -exceed in this respect a large majority of village ruins and mounds -in the interior of the continent. This appears from their gradual -excavation by the natives at Barrow, Point Hope, St. Lawrence -Island, and elsewhere. The natives have now for many years been -selling thousands of articles thus obtained to traders, teachers, and -crews of visiting vessels. A regular and growing trade detrimental -to archeology is now being carried on in "fossil ivory," which generally -consists of pieces showing human workmanship and occasionally -includes specimens of rare beauty and importance.</p> - -<p>The archeological contents of such old sites as that near Savonga -on the St. Lawrence Island, or those at Wales, Point Hope, Barrow, -etc., are varied, and in instances exceedingly interesting. They comprise -a large variety of objects of stone, ivory, bone, and wood, while -in the more superficial layers are also found occasionally glass beads -or objects of metal. Some ruins, such as those at Point Hope and -Kotzebue, are very rich in stone objects; others, as those at the St. -Lawrence Island, are rich in articles of ivory and bone. Pottery is -generally scarce. Articles of stone comprise mainly points, knives, -adzes, and lamps; those of wood, goggles and masks; of bone, various -parts of sleds, a large assortment of snow and meat picks, and scrapers; -of ivory, barbed points, harpoons, and lance heads, and a large -variety of tools, fetishes, and ceremonial objects; of clay, a few dishes -and pots for culinary purposes. Traces of objects made of whalebone -or even birch bark may also appear.</p> - -<p>The stones used were mainly slate and flint, but there may also -be met with quartz, quartzite, and especially the Kobuk "jade." -The workmanship is as a rule good to excellent. The arrow points -show a number of interesting, not yet fully known, types, the long -blade with parallel sides predominating. The stone lamps and rare -dishes also need further study. The knives all approach the Asiatic -semilunar variety.</p> - -<p>The bones and wooden objects and the pottery from this region -are fairly well covered by the writings of Ray, Murdoch, Nelson, -Rau, Thomas, and others; the masks need further study.</p> - -<p>The most interesting archeological specimens from the region of -the western Eskimo, however, are some of those in "fossil ivory," -the term being applied to walrus ivory that through long lying in<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_174" id="Page_174">[Pg 174]</a></span> -the ground has assumed more or less of a pearly yellow, variegated, -sepia-brown or black color. These objects are known as yet very -imperfectly. They are scarce at and especially north of Point Hope, -and again along the west coast south of Norton Sound. Their center -of frequency comprises seemingly the St. Lawrence Island, some -parts of the Asiatic coast, the Diomedes, and parts of the Seward -Peninsula. But they occur at least up to Point Hope, while west -of Bering Strait they are said to appear as far as the river Kolyma.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 520px;"> -<img src="images/figure_12a.jpg" width="520" height="700" alt="" /> -<div class="caption"><p><span class="smcap">Figure 12.</span>—Conventionalized design from -fossil ivory specimen shown in Plate 19</p></div> -</div> - -<p>Some of the objects in fossilized ivory show the well-known Eskimo -art, with geometrical design. But besides these there occur here and -there beautiful specimens, harpoon -heads, figures, needle cases, -etc., which are of the finest workmanship -and which both in form -and design differ from the prevailing -Eskimo types. They are -examples of high aboriginal art; -and their engraved decorative -lines are not geometrical but -beautifully curvilinear. (Fig. -12.)

It comes from the Asiatic side. It is a handsomely -made piece, belonging in all probability to the high fossil ivory -culture. Its peculiarity is the bi-bevel face, a face made by two -planes rising to a median ridge. It is so far a unique specimen of -its kind. But with the aid of Mr. H. W. Krieger, curator of -ethnology, United States National Museum, we found similar bi-beveled -faces in wooden figures from northeast Asia, in wooden -Eskimo masks from the Yukon, and in wooden ceremonial figures -from Panama. The latter are shown herewith. (Pl. 27.)

L'une se rattachait à -la lame, comme dans la pièce précédente, par le train de derrière; -l'autre, au contraire, par la tête." Knives with similar crouching -animal figures on the handle are being made by the King Islanders.</p> - -<p>Here, evidently, is one more interesting problem for the archeologists.</p> - -<p>The art shown by these objects, the conventionalization, and -especially the decorations, appear to show affinity on one hand to -deeper eastern Asia and on the other to those of the American northwest -coast and even lower. This may prove to mean much or little. -The fact that these specimens establish beyond question is that at one -time and up to a few hundreds of years ago there existed in the lands -of the northern Bering Sea native art superior to that existing -there later and at the present, and comparable with the best native -Siberian or American.</p> - -<p>The meaning of this fact seems to me to be of importance. The -evidence suggests, aside from other things, that American cultural -developments may after all not have been purely local or even -American, but that they may, in part at least, have been initiated or -carried from Asia. In view of these and other recent developments -it seems rational to consider that America may have been peopled -by far eastern Asiatic groups that not merely carried with them -differences in language and physique but also in some cases relatively -high cultural developments.

It gives three -villages on the western point and north coast of the Seward Peninsula, -namely Kiemile (later Nykhta, now Wales), Chegliukh, and -Tykiak. (Pl. 29.)</p> - -<p>The most notable and valuable of the Russian contributions to this -subject is that of Zagoskin. This refers to the period of 1842-1844 -and is contained partly in his "Peshechodnaia Opis," etc. (St. -Petersburg, 1847), but especially on his maps. There are, I find, -two of these maps—the "Merkatorskaia Karta Časti Sieverozapadnago -Berega Ameriky" and the "Merkatorskaia Generalnaia Karta -Časti Rossijskich Vladěnii v Amerikě." I came across the first in -one copy of Zagoskin's invaluable account, which should long ago -have been translated into English, and the other in another copy. -Part of the second is here reproduced. (Pl. 30.) Both bear the -statement that they were made by Zagoskin as the result of his explorations -on the Yukon in 1842-1844. The second ("general") map -is much the clearer and richer. Both maps, but especially the second, -give a good number of villages, especially about Norton Sound and -along the southern shore of Seward Peninsula. The orthography -differs somewhat on the two charts.</p> - -<p>The Tebenkof Atlas of 1849 includes a remarkably good map of the -St. Lawrence Island. As on other Russian maps it gives the Punuk -Islands, that later are lost by most map makers, and indicates the -location of what probably were all the living settlements of that -time, except on the Punuk. (Fig. 27.)</p> - -<p>Finally, in 1861, Tikhmenief, in his "Istoričeskoie Obozrenie" -(history of Russian America) gives a detailed map with many locations -of Eskimo villages.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_177" id="Page_177">[Pg 177]</a></span></p> - -<p>The Aleutian Islands and Kodiak are excellently dealt with by -Veniaminof and also Tikhmenief, though little special attention is -given to the location of the settlements.</p> - -<p>None of the Russian explorers, regrettably, report verbally on the -deserted sites or ruins. But their registration and location of many -villages that have since become "dead" is of much historical as -well as anthropological value.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 700px;"> -<img src="images/figure_13a.jpg" width="700" height="418" alt="" /> -<div class="caption"><p><span class="smcap">Figure 13.</span>—World map</p></div> -</div> - -<p>Of later and particularly American authors who gave attention to -the location of the western Eskimo settlements, the foremost is E. W. -Nelson. Beginning in 1877 with the St. Michael Island and ending -with the cruise of the <em>Corwin</em> in 1881, Nelson made trips down the -coast to the Kuskokwim, up the Yukon to Anvik, over the Bering -Sea, the St. Lawrence Island and parts of the Chukchee Peninsula, -and finally, with the <em>Corwin</em>, along the northern coasts to Point Barrow. -And these journeys were devoted largely to biological and -ethnological observations and collections, the latter including the -location of the western Eskimo habitations of that time. His locations -are given on the accompanying map (fig. 15) taken from his -classic memoir, "The Eskimo about Bering Strait," published in 1900 -in the Eighteenth Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology. -This memoir contains a section of "Ruins" (pp. 263-266), a -brief account of the recently dead villages on St. Lawrence Island -(p. <a href="#Page_269">269</a>), and an instructive section on Eskimo burials (pp. <a href="#Page_310">310</a>-322). -Nelson brought also the first more substantial collection of Eskimo -crania.</p> - -<p>The next deserving man in these connections is Ivan Petrof. Of -Russian-American extraction, Petrof was charged in 1880 with the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_178" id="Page_178">[Pg 178]</a></span> -census enumeration of the natives in Alaska, and he later published<a name="FNanchor_60_60" id="FNanchor_60_60"></a><a href="#Footnote_60_60" class="fnanchor">[60]</a> -a valuable report on his work, together with detailed demographic -data and a map on which are given all the living settlements of his -time. Nelson's map is partly based on Petrof's data.</p> - -<p>Since Nelson and Petrof but little has been done in this field. -But the maps of these two observers have been utilized more or less -by the map makers of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, -the Geological Survey, and other Government agencies concerned -with Alaska. The result is that some of these charts are exceptionally -useful to the anthropological explorer in Alaska; nevertheless -the data they carry are incomplete and the locations or names -are not always exact, a good many of the villages shown are now -dead, and old ruins, as usual, have received no attention.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 700px;"> -<img src="images/figure_14a.jpg" width="700" height="493" alt="" /> -<div class="caption"><p><span class="smcap">Figure 14.</span>—Dall's map of the distribution of the tribes of Alaska and adjoining -territory, 1875</p></div> -</div> - -<p>A very valuable supplement to all the maps has in 1902 been -published by the United States Geological Survey.

And it -is a region in which destruction of the remains by nature, but most -so recently by the natives themselves, proceeds at an alarming pace.</p> - -<p>The information on which these notes and the accompanying -charts are based has been obtained largely from the Russian and -other maps, from local traders, teachers, missionaries, and natives, -and from a few explorers.<a name="FNanchor_61_61" id="FNanchor_61_61"></a><a href="#Footnote_61_61" class="fnanchor">[61]</a> Only in a minority of cases was it -possible to visit the places in person; to have visited all would have -been a task of pleasure, but would have required a staunch boat of -my own and at least three full seasons.</p> - -<p>Many of the sites to be given are now "dead" and there may be -several old sites in the vicinity of a living village. Others combine -ruins with present habitations. Still others are partly or even wholly -abandoned a part of the year when the inhabitants go camping or -hunting, and are partly or wholly occupied during the rest of the -year. Finally, there are some new settlements, with modern dwellings -and ways, and their number will increase, the Eskimo taking -kindly to civilization and individual property.</p> - -<p>The data to be given here are limited to the Eskimo territory -in southwestern and western Alaska, leaving out those in Siberia -where much is uncertain. Due to the uncertainties of the Prince -William Sound region they will begin with Kodiak Island. There -are also on hand, principally due to Dr. E. P. Walker, numerous -locations of old sites and villages in the Indian parts of southern -and southeastern Alaska, but these will best be reserved for another -occasion.</p> - -<p>The Eskimo area will be roughly seen from the accompanying map -published on the basis of the enumeration by the Fourteenth United -States Census of 1920. A very great part of the territory allotted -to the Eskimo, as well as that of the Indian, is barren of any population<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_182" id="Page_182">[Pg 182]</a></span> -or its traces; the divisions represent the hunting grounds or -grounds claimed by each people, not an occupied territory. The data -will be given in south-to-north order.</p> - -<p>Nearly all the settlements in these regions are now, and have -evidently always been, on the shores of the seas and bays, as close -to the water as safety would permit. A few villages and sites occur -also, however, on inland lakes and rivers. The favored locations -have been an elevated flat near the mouth of a fresh-water stream -or the outlet of a lagoon, a sufficiently elevated spit projecting into -the sea, or an elevated bar between the sea and an inland lake. The -essentials were an elevated flat, a supply of fresh drinking water, -and a location favorable for fishing and hunting; if there was some -natural protection, so much the better. There were no inland settlements -except on the lakes and rivers. In a few cases, as at the -Kings and the Little Diomede Islands, very difficult locations were -occupied only because outweighed by other advantages.</p> - -<p>Caves throughout the occupied region north of the Aleutian chain -are absent, and there was therefore no cave habitation.</p> - -<p>None of the settlements were very large, though a few were much -larger than others. They ranged from one or two family camps -or houses to villages of some hundreds of inhabitants. A large majority -of the settlements had from but two or three to approximately -a dozen families.</p> - -<p>There were two main types of dwellings, the semisubterranean -sod houses for the winter and the skin tents for summer. In some -places the two were near each other; in others the summer dwellings -were in another and at times fairly distant locality.</p> - -<p>The "zimniki" (in Russian) or winter houses were throughout -the region of one general type. They were fair-sized circular semisubterranean -houses, made of driftwood and earth, and provided -with a semisubterranean entrance vestibule. Their remains are characterized -everywhere by a circular pit with a short straight trench -depression, the same pot-and-handle type as found along the Yukon. -Rarely for the construction of the houses, where driftwood did -not suffice, recourse was had to whale ribs and mandibles. The -"letniki," or summer houses, were constructed on the surface of -wood, sod and skins, or of whale ribs and skins, approaching on one -hand the summer huts of various continental tribes and on the other -the "yurts" of the north Asiatic peoples. The "kashims," or communal -houses, were built, much as on the Yukon, like the family -dwellings, but occasionally quadrilateral and much larger. Smaller -semisubterranean storage houses of driftwood and sod near the -winter dwellings were seemingly general.</p> - -<p>Ruins of stone dwellings, without mortar, are said to exist in -places on Norton Sound and Bay and on a lagoon near the western<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_183" id="Page_183">[Pg 183]</a></span> -end of the Seward Peninsula. The few houses on the Little Diomede -are made of loose unhewn stone slabs. The dwellings of the King -Islanders are built on the rocky slope of the island on platforms supported -by poles, all of driftwood.</p> - -<p>There is as a rule an absence of separate refuse heaps near the -villages. The refuse apparently has been dumped about and between -the houses rather than on separate piles.</p> - -<p>Dead villages abound. On consulting the older Russian records, -however, it is seen that nearly all were still "living" as late as the -early forties of the last century. Yet there are sites that were -"dead" already when the Russians came, and the accumulations in -other cases denotes a long occupation.</p> - -<p>The site of a dead village, in summer, is generally marked by -richer and greener vegetation; same as on the Yukon. The site -itself is usually pitted or humped in a line forming a more or less -elevated ridge, or the pits may be disseminated without apparently -much order. And there may be irregular mound-like heaps without -external traces of any structure.</p> - -<p>In the older sites no trace of wood is visible; in the later rotten -posts, crosspieces, parts of the covering of the house or tunnel, or even -a whole habitation may be present. In the old sites the wood is -hewn with stone axes; in the later it is sawed, and there may be nails.</p> - -<p>Older accumulations lie occasionally beneath more recent ones, -though no interruption of continuity may be traceable. Of a superposition -of villages no trace was observable.</p> - -<div class="footnotes"><h4>FOOTNOTES:</h4> - -<div class="footnote"> - -<p><a name="Footnote_60_60" id="Footnote_60_60"></a><a href="#FNanchor_60_60"><span class="label">[60]</span></a> Tenth Census, <span class="smcap">VIII</span>; reprinted in Compilation of Narratives of Explorations in Alaska. -U.

Occasionally they utilized also, it seems, old dwellings -for this purpose, and in more recent times at least the surface -burials, wherever there was driftwood, would be protected by heavy -rough-hewn planks put together in the form of boxes or by driftwood. -They bear close fundamental resemblance to those of the -Yukon. On the Nunivak Island occur graves made of rough stone -slabs piled up without much order. (Pl. 31, <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>.)</p> - -<p>Throughout the region the burials were located near the village, -but the distance varied according to local conditions and habits. In -some of the Eskimo villages of the lower Yukon, as at Old Hamilton, -some burials were close to the houses of the living. In the Bering -and Arctic regions the burial grounds, though sometimes of necessity -not far from the houses, as at the Little Diomede, in other places, -as at Point Hope and Barrow, were at a distance extending to beyond -a mile and a half from the village.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_184" id="Page_184">[Pg 184]</a></span></p> - -<p>As a rule the wood of burials older than about 80 years was found -fully decayed with the bones secondarily buried. Of earlier burials -there is generally no trace on the surface, but on excavation skeletal -remains are found at various depths below the surface. These characteristic -self-burials, or rather tundra burials, may prove of much -importance to anthropology in the future. As outlined before (see -Narrative, pp. <a href="#Page_77">77</a>, <a href="#Page_79">79</a>) the process is a decay of the wood; the sagging -down of the bones, covered more or less by the decayed material; an -encroachment of moss or other vegetation on the little mound thus -produced; and gradual accumulation through wind or water carried -materials of more covering over the bones, until the mound disappears -and the remains, generally still in good condition, are buried -as if intentionally inhumed.</p> - -<p>The Eskimo everywhere were found to be exceedingly sensible -about the older, and even recent, skeletal remains, and assisted readily -in their collection, as well as in excavation, offering thus the best -possible conditions for anthropological and archeological work in -these regions.</p> - -<p>The notes, charts, and a detailed list of the sites and villages follow. -In numerous cases it was found impossible to say whether a -site was completely "dead" or still occasionally partly occupied, so -that distinctive markings had to be abandoned.</p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">Prince William Sound, Kodiak Island, Alaska Peninsula</span></h3> - -<p>Very largely still a terra incognita for anthropology and archeology. -Partly occupied by Indians (Prince William Sound, Kodiak -Island?), partly by mix-blood Aleut (parts of Peninsula, and of -Kodiak), partly by Eskimo.

The -region is bleak and the Eskimo there are reported to live miserably.</p> - -<p>The principal Eskimo villages and sites along the lowermost -branch of the Yukon have been given previously. (Fig. 11.)</p> - -<p>From the northernmost pass of the Yukon to St. Michael Island -the coast is poor in Eskimo remains. A site of interest here is the -old camping ground, with a few permanent houses, of Pastolik, and -there are two small sites farther up the coast. Pastolik to the -writer's visit was still occasionally occupied by a few Eskimo families. -There are only three houses, but a relatively large and old -cemetery speaks of a larger population, probably camping here in -tents during the summer seasons of the past. The burial grounds -were found to be rather extensive and give indications of containing -human bones as well as artifacts below the present surface (buried -by the tundra). The main part of the burial grounds may well -repay an excavation.</p> - -<p><span class="smcap">St. Michael Island.</span>—Eskimo remains exist on the northeastern -point of the island beyond the present white man's village, and also -on the rock (Whale Island) opposite this point. During my visit -the ground was so overgrown by high weeds that details were -hidden. On this same northeastern point near the extension of the -white settlement is a small living Eskimo village, most of the inhabitants -of which are now of mixed blood. Across St. Michael -Bay are said to be some old traces of Eskimo, and Nelson reported -an old site in the southern part of the island. Finally at Cape -Stephens, in the western extremity of the island, there is "Stebbins," -another living village. Nothing could be learned of any human -remains on the opposite Stuart Island.</p> - -<p><span class="smcap">Norton Sound.</span>—North of St. Michael Island is Norton Sound -and Norton Bay. Along the east coast of the Sound there are three -villages still occupied, but with old accumulations. It is reported -that in this region there are some ruined houses in which mammoth -tusks had been used in the construction, but nothing definite could -be learned as to the location of these houses and the whole may be -but a story. The village of Unalaklik was of importance in the -past and its older remains would probably repay excavation. Old<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_196" id="Page_196">[Pg 196]</a></span> -sites are reported from the vicinity of Shaktolik and at Cape -Denbigh.</p> - -<p>The Norton Bay region (fig. 22), now almost depopulated, had in -1840 a whole series of moderate-sized living Eskimo settlements, both -on the east and the west shore. These shallows are but little visited, -and it is probable that the remains of the villages and some at least of -the skeletal material of their burying grounds are well preserved. -They call for early attention.</p> - -<p>To the west of Norton Bay, on the southern coast of Seward -Peninsula, is Golovnin<a name="FNanchor_64_64" id="FNanchor_64_64"></a><a href="#Footnote_64_64" class="fnanchor">[64]</a> Bay. On the eastern shore of this bay -are now, as there were in Russian times, two settlements, but the -name of one has been misplaced. On Zagoskin's map it is clearly -seen that the village Ching or Chinig corresponds in location to -what now is the mission, while what is now called "Cheenik" was -in 1840 Ikalik or Ikalikhaig. There will soon be seen another -instance of such a misapplication of the original names.</p> - -<p>To the west Golovnin Bay is bounded by a large promontory ending -in Rocky Point. To the east of this point is a shallow bay, -where I found a late Eskimo house and on the elevated shore a little -to the left four fairly recent adult burials. Farther down the bay -was an Eskimo camp, without signs of anything older; but Zagoskin's -map gives a settlement, probably also a camp, at this place, -named Knikhtak. From this a rocky point projects eastward into -the bay. Behind this point is a shallow cove with elevated ground -above the beach, and at the inland end of this bay I found the remains -of a small old village. Traces of burials were seen on the elevated -ground but skeletal remains were absent.</p> - -<p>On the southwestern shore of the promontory that bounds Golovnin -Bay on the west the Russians (Zagoskin) recorded two villages, -the one near to Rocky Point being Chiukak, that on a point farther -northwest being named Chaimiut. Later the name Chiukak became -applied to the former Chaimiut, while Chiukak proper was dead and -forgotten. On latest maps, such as Chart 9302 United States Coast -and Geodetic Survey, neither of the old names appears. The name -Bluff denotes a small settlement in about the location of the former -Chaimiut. Some Eskimo met in Golovnin Bay said that there are -skeletal remains near the original Chiukak, but an attempt to reach -the place failed through rough water.</p> - -<div class="footnotes"><h4>FOOTNOTES:</h4> - -<div class="footnote"> - -<p><a name="Footnote_64_64" id="Footnote_64_64"></a><a href="#FNanchor_64_64"><span class="label">[64]</span></a> This is the correct orthography.

The first -and largest is located a few miles west of Port Safety, 18 miles east<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_197" id="Page_197">[Pg 197]</a></span> -of Nome. This was a large village extending for a considerable -distance along the elevated beach separating an inland lagoon from -the sea. The depressions of the dwellings, of the usual dipper-with-handle -type, are very plain. Old settlers at Nome remember when -the village was still occupied. Nearer the sea the beach is said to -have been lined with burials, but the storm of 1913 took or covered -everything. (See Narrative, p. <a href="#Page_90">90</a>.)</p> - -<p>A small Eskimo settlement existed on a rocky elevation east of -Cape Nome. There are some house sites, but the place gives little -promise of archeological importance. We found evidence that the -site must have been occupied until fairly recently. Among the -bowlders were found two skeletons.</p> - -<p>A larger dead village is located near the mouth of a little stream -west of Cape Nome. It is doubtless the Azachagiag of the Zagoskin -general map. It gives no great promise archeologically.</p> - -<p>From Nome to Point Spencer there are several old sites, all -"dead"; and there are one or two recently "dead" villages on Sledge -(the old Aiak or Aziak) Island. Of the coast sites, the most important -is reported to be that at Cape Woolley. It is said to have been -the stopping point of the King Islanders and may have been their -old mainland village.</p> - -<p>A number of old sites and burial grounds have been seen or learned -of in Port Clarence and Salt Lake. They are marked on the map, -and those of the lake have been discussed in the Narrative (p. <a href="#Page_117">117</a>). -Those on Salt Lake (Imuruk Basin) deserve attention.</p> - -<p>Between Port Clarence and Cape Prince of Wales only one, and -that evidently not a very large site, was learned of at Cape York.</p> - -<p>The most important site of the peninsula region is doubtless that -at the cape. Thanks to the able local teacher of that time, Mr. Clark -M. Garber, I am able to present a detailed map of this locality. It -is here that Doctor Jenness in 1926 conducted some excavations with -interesting results. But the site has barely been touched. It is the -nearest point to Asia. There are ample indications that it has been -occupied for a long period and by relatively large numbers of people. -Besides the ruined parts and old heaps there are still the skulls and -bones of many burials among the rocks about the village, and there is -evidence that more are in the ground. It is one of the chief sites of -the far northwest for systematic thorough exploration, and such exploration -is a growing necessity for all branches of anthropology -interested in the problems of the Bering Sea and Asiatic-American -connections.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_198" id="Page_198">[Pg 198]</a></span></p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">Scammon Bay, Norton Sound, South Coast of Seward Peninsula, -to Cape Rodney</span><br /> - -[<span class="smcap">Fig. 22</span>]</h3> - -<p>91. <em>Melatolik.</em>—A small coast village.</p> - -<p>92. <em>Bimiut.</em>—A small coast village.</p> - -<p>93. <em>Kwikak.</em>—Eskimo village on the outer coast in the Yukon -Delta, a little south of the mouth of Black River.

It is dangerous of approach -to any except small boats. The only place that could be -visited by me was Shishmaref, a good-sized thriving Eskimo village, -on both sides of which along the sea are remains of old sites with -burials. The more important old settlement was that to the east -of the village. Here are found large and extensive heaps, the tops -of which have recently been leveled for fox cages, the whole site -belonging, regrettably, to a newly established fox farm. It is an -old site, though probably occupied up to white man's times, and -is doubtless of some importance. Excavations would still be possible, -as the bulk of the remains is intact; and though the surface skeletal -material has been removed (part saved for our collections), there are -indications of surface burials (assimilations by the tundra) in the -ground.</p> - -<p>Between Wales and Shishmaref are several dead sites, as shown -on the map, and some of them, judging from the information obtained, -are of promise. One of these settlements, "Tapkhaig," was -evidently still a living village at the time of Zagoskin (1840).</p> - -<p>Northeast and east of Shishmaref the coast is known even less than -that to the west. A few miles off Shishmaref I saw from a distance—the -boat could not approach nearer—what to all appearances was a -large ridge of ruins, and from various maps and other sources information -was obtained of several other sites, all of which represent -former villages. From one of these sites on the Bucknell River Mr. -Carl Lomen secured a fine piece of fossil ivory carving, and the site -is said to be of much promise.

It is unanimously declared by the Eskimo of the -coast to be one of the oldest settlements and has always been the -largest native center on the coast. The point was called Golovnin -Point by the early Russians; it was called Point Hope by Beechey -in 1826 in honor of Sir William Johnston Hope. At the time of its -visit by the revenue cutter <em>Corwin</em>, 1884, there are said to have been -two villages;<a name="FNanchor_65_65" id="FNanchor_65_65"></a><a href="#Footnote_65_65" class="fnanchor">[65]</a> the second being possibly at the site of the old whaling -station. Rasmussen, who visited the village about 1924, speaks of -it in part as follows:<a name="FNanchor_66_66" id="FNanchor_66_66"></a><a href="#Footnote_66_66" class="fnanchor">[66]</a> "Point Hope or Tikeraq, 'the pointing finger,' -is one of the most interesting Eskimo settlements on the whole coast -of Alaska, and has doubtless the largest collection of ruins. The -old village, now deserted, consists of 122 very large houses, but as -the sea is constantly washing away parts of the land and carrying -off more houses, it is impossible to say what may have been the original -number. Probably the village here and its immediate neighborhood -had at one time something like 2,000 souls, or as many as are -now to be found throughout the whole of the Northwest Passage -between the Magnetic Pole and Herschel Island."</p> - -<p>The ruins are to the northwest and west of the present village. -Those to the northwest consist of imposing heaps, which together -form an elevated ridge facing the sea. It is said that this old -settlement was abandoned because of the encroachments upon it by -the sea, particularly during storms.</p> - -<p>The ruins of this main compound have been for several years -assiduously excavated inch by inch by the local Eskimo, and thousands -of articles of great variety, of stone, bone, ivory, and wood, -with here and there in the uppermost layers an object of metal, are -being gathered and sold to all comers. With these are found a few -human skulls and bones, but especially the skulls and bones of various -animals, all of which unfortunately have hitherto been left behind in -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_206" id="Page_206">[Pg 206]</a></span>the mud.

The number of old sites -is rather large, but it appears that there is not much of special -promise until we reach near Barrow.</p> - -<p>Old "igloos" southwest of Barrow: From 5 to 8 miles southwest -of Barrow and at some distance (up to about 400 yards) from -the shore there existed, and in part still exist, a series of elevations -which the natives of Barrow always regarded as natural. On -excavation the larger of these elevations proved to be old structures -with numerous burials and cultural objects, and the remains, as -shown elsewhere, are exceptional for this coast. Six of these -"mounds" have been excavated by the University of Pennsylvania -Expedition (Van Valin), while several are still remaining. It is -very important that these should be carefully excavated before they -are attacked by the natives of Barrow for mercenary purposes.</p> - - -<h4>BARROW AND POINT BARROW</h4> - -<p>Two large living villages, with old sites and inhumed (natural) -burials in their vicinity, and with some old remains between them. -Barrow is the most important present mixed settlement and center of -civilization in the Arctic. Besides the school, it contains a mission -hospital and recently a meteorological observatory and wireless station. -The tundras to the east of the village for about 1½ miles show -patches of burials, particularly in the more distant parts of this -region on the elevations to both sides of a small stream.</p> - -<p>Much archeological work remains to be done about Barrow, particularly -in the remainder of the old "igloos." East of Point Barrow -the population is very sparse and no ruins of any note or settlements -are reported before those of the Barter Island and the mouth -of the Colville River.</p> - -<p>175. <em>Pingishuguruk.</em>—A small old site.</p> - -<p>176. <em>Ketchemeluk.</em>—A small old site.</p> - -<p>176a. <em>Ipnot.</em>—Eskimo village on the Arctic coast, near Cape -Thomson, a little south of Point Hope.

In 1849 -an excellent map of it was published by Tebenkof in Novo-Archangelsk, -and on this map (fig. 26) are indicated about a dozen smaller -or larger Eskimo settlements, some of which, however, are not named -and may already have been "dead."</p> - -<p>About 1878 there were still six settlements with somewhat less than -1,500 Eskimo inhabitants on the island. That winter (1878-79) not<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_210" id="Page_210">[Pg 210]</a></span> -less than 1,000 of the population died of famine (Hooper), three of -the villages becoming completely depopulated and a fourth nearly so. -The Punuk Island village may have become extinct about the same -time.</p> - -<p>To-day there are on the St. Lawrence Island but two living settlements, -the main one, now known as Gambell, at the old site of Chibukak -on the northwestern cape, and the other, Savonga, about 40 -miles east of it, near Cape North.</p> - -<p>A number of the old sites on this island, and also that on one of the -Punuks, indicate a long occupation, antedating by far the advent -of the Russians. The accumulations rise in some places to imposing -heaps or ridges. Their frozen contents yield quantities of fossil -ivory, all of which shows the work of man, and among them occur -specimens with fine curvilinear designs and of high scientific as well -as artistic value.</p> - -<p>Through Nelson in 1881 and R. D. Moore in 1912 the Smithsonian -Institution has acquired a large quantity of human skeletal material -from the main island, and there is now (1928) an expedition of the -Institution under Collins on the Punuk as well as the St. Lawrence -exploring some of the principal ruins.</p> - - -<h4>THE DIOMEDE ISLANDS AND THE ASIATIC COAST<br /> - -[<span class="smcap">Figs. 27 and 28</span>]</h4> - -<p>The smaller or American Diomede, though a very inhospitable -place, supports, and that evidently since long, a small Eskimo village -of stone houses, below and about which there is a considerable -accumulation of refuse. Doctor Jenness dug here for a short time -in 1926.</p> - -<p>The larger or Russian Diomede has two villages, each of which is -larger than the one on the smaller island. There are also said -to be some remains in a broad depression on the eastern side of the -island, while skeletal remains are reported by the natives to exist -among the rocks on the top. This island is in need of thorough -attention. Its people are reputed to be skilled ivory workers. They -come yearly to Nome, where they were visited and seen at their -work by the writer. They bring each year some fossil ivory, said -to come mainly from the Asiatic coast, and among this are occasionally -articles of much interest.</p> - -<p>Ruins of Eskimo villages are also present along the coasts of the -Chukchee Peninsula, both those facing the Bering Sea and those -along the Arctic. Very little is definitely known or can be found -from the American Eskimo about these ruins, and some of them -may not be Eskimo. Nelson in his book (p. 265) reports briefly<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_211" id="Page_211">[Pg 211]</a></span> -on a few about Cape Wankarem. Interesting objects of the fossil -ivory culture are said to occur in these old sites as far west as the -Kolyma, but nothing is certain except that there are ruins, that a -good number of them are probably Eskimo, and that fossil ivory, -both worked (walrus) and unworked (mammoth), comes from these -coasts. A noteworthy report is that of a large native cemetery -on the Bering Sea side, with hundreds of burials in rough stone-slab -graves.

The possession of a beard is very rare, -but a slight moustache is not infrequent.

The nose is broad and depressed, but not in all, some individuals -having prominent noses, yet almost all have wider nostrils than Europeans. -The eyes have small and oblique apertures like the Chinese, and from frequent -attacks of ophthalmia and the effect of lamp smoke in their winter habitations -adults of both sexes are disfigured by excoriated or ulcerated eyelids.

In stature they are not inferior to many other races and are -robust, muscular, and active, inclining rather to spareness than corpulence. -The tallest individual was found to be 5 feet 10½ inches, and the shortest -5 feet 1 inch. The heaviest man weighed 195 pounds, and the lightest 125 -pounds. The individuals weighed and measured were taken indiscriminately -as they visited the ship, and were all supposed to have attained their full -stature. Their chief muscular strength is in the back, which is best displayed -in their games of wrestling. The shoulders are square, or rather raised, -making the neck appear shorter than it really is, and the chest is deep; but -in strength of arm they can not compete with our sailors. The hand is -small, short, broad, and rather thick, and the thumb appears short, giving -an air of clumsiness in handling anything; and the power of grasping is not -great. The lower limbs are in good proportion to the body, and the feet, -like the hands, are short and broad with a high instep. Considering their -frequent occupations as hunters, they do not excel in speed nor in jumping -over a height or a level space, but they display great agility in leaping to -kick with both feet together an object hanging as high as the chin, or even -above the head. In walking, their tread is firm and elastic, the step short -and quick; and the toes being turned outward and the knee at each advance -inclining in the same direction, give a certain peculiarity to their gait difficult -to describe.</p> - -<p>The hair is sooty black, without gloss, and coarse, cut in an even line across -the forehead, but allowed to grow long at the back of the head and about the -ears, whilst the crown is cropped close or shaven. The color of the skin is -a light yellowish brown, but variable in shade, and in a few instances was -observed to be very dark. In the young, the complexion is comparatively fair, -presenting a remarkably healthy sunburnt appearance, through which the -rosy hue of the cheeks is visible; before middle life, however, this, from -exposure, gives place to a weather-beaten appearance, so that it is difficult to -guess their ages.</p> - -<p>The face is flat, broad, rounded, and commonly plump, the cheek bones high, -the forehead low, but broad across the eyebrows, and narrowing upwards; -the whole head becomes somewhat pointed toward the crown. The nose is -short and flat, giving an appearance of considerable space between the eyes. -The eyes are brown, of different shades, usually dark, seldom if ever altogether -black, and generally have a soft expression; some have a peculiar -glitter, which we call gipsy-like. They slope slightly upwards from the nose, -and have a fold of skin stretching across the inner angle to the upper eyelid, -most perceptible in childhood, which gives to some individuals a cast of countenance -almost perfectly Chinese. The eyelids seem tumid, opening to only a -moderate extent, and the slightly arched eyebrows scarcely project beyond -them. The ears are by no means large, but frequently stand out sideways. -The mouth is prominent and large, and the lips, especially the lower one, -rather thick and protruding. The jawbones are strong, supporting remarkably -firm and commonly regular teeth. In the youthful these are in general -white, but toward middle age they have lost their enamel and become black -or are worn down to the gums. The incisors of the lower jaw do not pass behind -those of the upper, but meet edge to edge, so that by the time an individual -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_221" id="Page_221">[Pg 221]</a></span>arrives at maturity, the opposing surfaces of the eye and front teeth -are perfectly flat, independently of the wear they are subjected to in every -possible way to assist the hands. The expression of the countenance is one -of habitual good humor in the great majority of both sexes, but is a good deal -marred in the men by wearing heavy lip ornaments. * * *</p> - -<p>While young the women are generally well formed and good looking, having -good eyes and teeth. To a few, who besides possessed something of the Circassian -cast of features, was attributed a certain degree of brunette beauty. -Their hands and feet are small, and the former delicate in the young, but soon -become rough and coarse when the household cares devolve upon them. Their -movements are awkward and ungainly, and though capable of making long -journeys on foot, it is almost painful to see many of them walk. Unlike the -men, they shuffle along commonly a little sideways, with the toes turned inwards, -stooping slightly forward as if carrying a burden, and their general -appearance is not enhanced by the coat being made large enough to accommodate -a child on the back, whilst the tight-fitting nether garment only serves -to display the deformity of their bow legs. * * *</p> - -<p>The physical constitution of both sexes is strong, and they bear exposure -during the coldest weather for many hours together without appearing inconvenienced, -further than occasional frostbites on the cheeks. They also show -great endurance of fatigue during their journeys in the summer, particularly -that part in which they require to drag the family boat, laden with their summer -tent and all their moveables, on a sledge over the ice.</p> - -<p>Extreme longevity is probably not unknown among them; but as they take -no heed to number the years as they pass, they can form no guess of their -own ages, invariably stating "they have many years." Judging altogether -from appearance, a man whom we saw in the neighborhood of Kotzebue Sound -could not be less than 80 years of age. He had long been confined to his bed -and appeared quite in his dotage. There was another at Point Barrow, whose -wrinkled face, silvery hair, toothless gums, and shrunk limbs indicated an age -nothing short of 75.

There are -many of the coast natives of this type, but they lack the healthy glow and the -indomitable will of the Nooatoks.</p> - -<p>The third type is the short, stumpy one, probably that of the old Eskimo before -the admixture with southern tribes, now found on the Arctic coast. * * *</p> - -<p>The Eskimos have coarse, black hair, some with a tinge of brown. Many of -the coast people of both sexes are bald from scrofulous eruptions. Males have -the crown of the head closely cropped, so that reindeer may not see the waving -locks when the hunter creeps behind bunch grass. They have black eyes and -high cheek bones. The bones of the face are better protected from the severity -of the climate by a thicker covering of flesh than southern races.</p> - -<p>Among the coast people the nose is broad and flat, with very little or no ridge -between the eyes. The adult males have short mustaches, and some of the -elder ones—more noticeable in the interior—have rough, scraggy beards. Generally -their beard is very scant, and most of them devote otherwise idle -hours to pulling out the hairs.</p></div> - -<p>1900, Nelson:<a name="FNanchor_91_91" id="FNanchor_91_91"></a><a href="#Footnote_91_91" class="fnanchor">[91]</a></p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>The Eskimo from Bering Strait to the lower Yukon are fairly well-built -people, averaging among the men about 5 feet 2 or 3 inches in height. The -Yukon Eskimo and those living southward from that river to the Kuskokwim -are, as a rule, shorter and more squarely built. The Kuskokwim people are -darker of complexion than those to the northward, and have rounder features. -The men commonly have a considerable growth of hair on their faces, becoming -at times a thin beard 2 or 3 inches in length, with a well-developed -mustache. No such development of beard was seen elsewhere in the territory -visited.</p> - -<p>The people in the coast region between the mouths of the Kuskokwim and the -Yukon have peculiarly high cheek bones and sharp chins, which unite to give -their faces a curiously pointed, triangular appearance. At the village of -Kaialigamut I was impressed by the strong development of the superciliary -ridge. From a point almost directly over the pupil of the eye and extending -thence inward to the median line of the forehead is a strong bony ridge causing -the brow to stand out sharply. From the outer edge of this the skull -appears as though beveled away to the ears, giving the temporal area a considerable -enlargement beyond that usually shown. This curious development -of the skull is rendered still more striking by the fact that the bridge of the -nose is low, as usual among these people, so that the shelf-like projection of -the brow stands out in strong relief. It is most strongly marked among the -men and appears to be characteristic at this place. Elsewhere in this district -it was noted only rarely here and there.</p> - -<p>All of the people in the district about Capes Vancouver and Romanzof, and -thence to the Yukon mouth, are of unusually light complexion. Some of the -women have a pale, slightly yellowish color, with pink cheeks, differing but -little in complexion from that of a sallow woman of Caucasian blood. This -light complexion is so exceptionally striking that wherever they travel these -people are readily distinguished from other Eskimo, and before I visited their -territory I had learned to know them by their complexion whenever they came -to St. Michael.</p> -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_226" id="Page_226">[Pg 226]</a></span> -<p>The people of the district just mentioned are all very short and squarely -built. Inland from Cape Vancouver lies the flat marshy country about Big -Lake, which is situated between the Kuskokwim and the Yukon. It is a -well-populated district and its inhabitants differ from those near the coast -at the capes referred to, in being taller, more slender, and having more -squarely cut features. They also differ strikingly from any other Eskimo -with whom I came in contact, except those on Kowak River, in having the -bridge of the nose well developed and at times sufficiently prominent to suggest -the aquiline nose of our southern Indian tribes.</p> - -<p>The Eskimo of the Diomede Islands in Bering Strait, as well as those of -East Cape and Mechigme and Plover Bays on the Siberian coast, and of St. -Lawrence Island are tall, strongly built people and are generally similar in -their physical features. These are characterized by the unusual heaviness of -the lower part of the face due to the very square and massive lower jaw, which, -combined with broad, high cheek bones and flattened nose, produces a wide, -flat face. These features are frequently accompanied with a low retreating -forehead, producing a decidedly repulsive physiognomy. The bridge of the nose -is so low and the cheek bones so heavy that a profile view will frequently show -only the tip of the person's nose, the eyes and upper portion of the nose being -completely hidden by the prominent outline of the cheek. Their eyes are less -oblique than is common among the people living southward from the Yukon -mouth. Among the people at the northwestern end of St. Lawrence Island -there is a greater range of physiognomy than was noted at any other of the -Asiatic localities.</p> - -<p>The Point Hope people on the American coast have heavy jaws and well-developed -superciliary ridges. At Point Barrow the men are remarkable for -the irregularity of their features, amounting to a positive degree of ugliness, -which is increased and rendered specially prominent by the expression produced -by the short, tightly drawn upper lip, the projecting lower lip, and the small -beady eyes. The women and children of this place are in curious contrast, -having rather pleasant features of the usual type.</p> - -<p>The Eskimo from Upper Kowak and Noatak Rivers who were met at the -summer camp on Hotham Inlet are notable for the fact that a considerable -number of them have hook noses and nearly all have a cast of countenance -very similar to that of the Yukon Tienné. They are a larger and more robustly -built people than these Indians, however, and speak the Eskimo language. -They wear labrets, practice the tonsure, and claim to be Eskimo. * * * -Among them was seen one man having a mop of coarse curly hair, almost -negroid in character. The same feature was observed in a number of men and -women on the Siberian coast between East Cape and Plover Bay. This latter -is undoubtedly the result of the Chukchi-Eskimo mixture, and in the case of -the man seen at Hotham Inlet the same result had been brought about by the -Eskimo-Indian combination. Among the Eskimo south of Bering Strait on the -American coast not a single instance of this kind was observed. The age of -the individuals having this curly hair renders it quite improbable that it came -from an admixture of blood with foreign voyagers, since some of them must -have been born at a time when vessels were extremely rare along these shores. -As a further argument against this curly hair having come from white men, -I may add that I saw no trace of it among a number of people having partly -Caucasian blood. As a general thing, the Eskimo of the region described, have -small hands and feet and the features are oval in outline, rather flat and with -slightly oblique eyes.</p> - -<p>Children and young girls have round faces and often are very pleasant and -attractive in feature, the angular race characteristics becoming prominent after<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_227" id="Page_227">[Pg 227]</a></span> -the individuals approach manhood. The women age rapidly, and only a very -small proportion of the people live to an advanced age.</p> - -<p>The Malemut and the people of Kaviak Peninsula, including those of the -islands in Bering Strait are tall, active, and remarkably well built. Among -them it is common to see men from 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall and of proportionate -build. I should judge the average among them to be nearly or quite -equal in height to the whites.</p> - -<p>Among the coast Eskimos, as a rule, the legs are short and poorly developed, -while the body is long with disproportionately developed dorsal and lumbar -muscles, due to so much of their life being passed in the kaiak.</p> - -<p>The Eskimo of the Big Lake district, south of the Yukon, and from the Kaviak -Peninsula, as well as the Malemut about the head of Kotzebue Sound, are on -the contrary very finely proportioned and athletic men who can not be equaled -among the Indians of the Yukon region. * * * There were a number of -half-blood children among the Eskimo, resulting from the intercourse with -people from vessels and others, who generally show their Caucasian blood by -large, finely shaped, and often remarkably beautiful brown eyes. The number -of these mixed bloods was not very great.</p></div> - -<p>1905, Jackson:<a name="FNanchor_92_92" id="FNanchor_92_92"></a><a href="#Footnote_92_92" class="fnanchor">[92]</a></p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>The Eskimos of Alaska are a much finer race physically than their kindred -of Greenland and Labrador. In the extreme north, at Point Barrow, and -along the coast of Bering Sea they are of medium size. At Point Barrow the -average height of the males is 5 feet 3 inches and average weight 153 pounds; -of the women, 4 feet 11 inches and weight 135 pounds. On the Nushagak -River the average weight of the men is from 150 to 167 pounds. From Cape -Prince of Wales to Icy Cape along the Arctic Coast and on the great inland -rivers emptying into the Arctic Ocean they are a large race, many of them -being 6 feet and over in height.<a name="FNanchor_93_93" id="FNanchor_93_93"></a><a href="#Footnote_93_93" class="fnanchor">[93]</a> They are lighter in color and fairer than -the North American Indian, have black and brown eyes, black hair, some -with a tinge of brown, high cheek bones, fleshy faces, small hands and feet, -and good teeth.

They lack that appearance of -stoutness and squatness inherent in the eastern stock, and for proportion and -development of the various parts of the body they do not compare unfavorably -with Indians and whites. It is not unusual to find in an Alaskan Eskimo -village several men who are 6 feet tall, with magnificent shoulders and arms -and bodily strength in proportion. The usual height, however, is about 168 -centimeters for men, which is some 10 centimeters above the height of the -eastern Eskimo. * * * The average for women among the western Eskimo -is 158 centimeters, which approximates the height of the men in the Hudson -Bay region, 158 centimeters (Boas). The female type in Alaska is taller and -slimmer than in the east, and the width of the face is considerably less. -Eskimo women of large stature are often seen in the northern section of -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_228" id="Page_228">[Pg 228]</a></span>Alaska.

As seen before, Beechey also stated that the stature of the -Eskimo increases from the east to the west.</p> - -<p>In 1881-82, Lieutenant Ray collects and in 1885 reports evidently -careful measurements of 51 men and 30 women from the villages of -Uglaamie, at Cape Smythe, now Barrow, and Nuwuk, on Point -Barrow.<a name="FNanchor_96_96" id="FNanchor_96_96"></a><a href="#Footnote_96_96" class="fnanchor">[96]</a> An abstract of the data shows as follows:</p> - - -<ul><li>Average height: Male, 5 feet 3½ inches (161.3 centimeters); female, 4 feet 11¾ inches (151.8 centimeters).</li> -<li>Average weight: Male, 153⅗ pounds; female, 135⅔ pounds.</li> -<li>Tallest male: 5 feet 8¾ inches (174.6 centimeters).</li> -<li>Tallest female: 5 feet 3 inches (160 centimeters).</li> -<li>Shortest male: 4 feet 11 inches (149.9 centimeters).</li> -<li>Shortest female: 4 feet ½ inch (123.2 centimeters).</li> -<li>Weight: Male, 126 to 204 pounds; female, 106 to 172 pounds.</li> -</ul> - -<p>In 1892, in connection with the preparation of the anthropological -exhibits for the World Exposition at Chicago, an extensive effort was -made under the direction of Frederick W.

No details -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_229" id="Page_229">[Pg 229]</a></span>are given.

There is doubtless much of significance in this remarkable -distribution. It is now quite certain that the Eskimo has not -been pressed out by the Indian; there are as a rule no traces of him -farther inland than where he has been within historic times. On -the other hand no Indian remnants or remains are known from -any part of the coasts or islands within the Eskimo region; though -the study of the older sites in these regions has barely as yet begun, -besides which (see Narrative) it is a serious question whether really -old sites could now be located in these regions at all even if they had -once existed. At all events the Eskimo appears from all indications -to be the latest comer, and judging from his remains his occupancy -here is not geologically ancient; it is one to be counted, apparently, in -many hundreds of years rather than in thousands. The Aleuts in the -south are, as I have pointed out in the Catalogue (No. 1, 1924, p. 39), -not Eskimo but Indians, related to the general Alaska Indian type; -and the Pribilof Islands appear never to have been occupied until -fairly recently, when a good number of Aleuts, mostly mixed bloods, -have been transported and established there in the interest of the -seal fisheries.</p> - - -<h4>MEASUREMENTS OF LIVING WESTERN ESKIMO</h4> - -<p>Thanks to Moore, Collins, and Stewart, all of the National -Museum, instructed by me and working with the same instruments, -we now have several small to fair series of measurements on -the living western Eskimo of both sexes. They are tabulated below. -They are the first made on these groups and will be of much interest -both in general and in connection with the measurements made on the -skulls and bones of most of the same people. The main points shown -are as follows:</p> - -<p><em>Stature.</em>—The stature of the males ranges from markedly to moderately -submedium. There is a considerable similarity. Only the -Yukon group and that of Togiak reach near or slightly above medium, -the general human medium for males approaching 165 centimeters. -The female stature on the St. Lawrence Island averages 12 -centimeters less than that of the males, which is about the difference -found in most other peoples. At Hooper Bay, and especially at the -Nunivak Island, the difference is less, indicating either that the males -are slightly stunted or that the growth of the females is somewhat -favored.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_239" id="Page_239">[Pg 239]</a></span></p> - -<p><em>Height sitting.</em>—The height-sitting-stature index ranges from -slightly to quite notably higher than it is in other races, indicating -a tendency toward a relatively long trunk and somewhat short limbs. -A study of the long bones shows that this is due especially, if not -wholly, to the relative shortness of the tibia; and the subdevelopment -of this bone may, it seems, be ascribed to a great deal of squatting -both at home during the long winters and in the canoes. The male -Eskimo show more difference from other males in this respect than -the Eskimo females show from other females.<a name="FNanchor_128_128" id="FNanchor_128_128"></a><a href="#Footnote_128_128" class="fnanchor">[128]</a></p> - -<p><em>Arm span.</em>—Relatively to the stature the length of the arms in the -Eskimo males is shorter than it is in other racial groups, though there -appears to be some inequality in this respect. This shortness would -be especially marked if we compared the arm span with the height -sitting. It is due essentially to a shortness of the distal half of the -upper limbs. The males once more show this disproportion more -as compared to other males than the females compared with others -of their sex. (See comp. data in Old Americans.) This may be -connected in some way with the male Eskimo work and habits; or it -may be an expression of a correlative subdevelopment with that of the -lower limbs. It is a good point for further study.</p> - -<p><em>The head.</em>—The head, especially when taken in relation to the -stature, is of good size, particularly on the Nunivak Island and on the -Yukon. This agrees with what is known of the Eskimo head, skull, -and brain elsewhere.</p> - -<p>The size of the Eskimo head—which is not caused by a thick skull—will -best be appreciated by contrasting it with that of civilized whites. -In whites in general the mean head diameter or cephalic module -ranges in males from approximately 15.70 to 16.40; in the male western -Eskimo groups the range is 15.87 to 16.08, and 16.11 in the group -at Marshall on the Yukon. The percentage relation of the module to -stature in 12 groups of male whites, including the old Americans, -averages <em>9.31</em> to <em>10.11</em>; in the male Eskimo groups it is from <em>9.57</em> to -<em>9.94</em>. In females, the cephalic module is 15.57 in the old Americans, -15.36 to 15.68 in the Eskimo; the relation of the module to stature in -the former being <em>9.59</em>, in the latter <em>10.15</em> to <em>10.25</em>.</p> - -<p>In the western Eskimo woman the head dimensions are particularly -favorable. In the old American whites the mean head diameter -in the female is to that of the male on the average as <em>95</em> to 100; in -the two main groups of the western Eskimo it is as <em>96.1</em> and <em>96.7</em> to -100. Nothing is known as to the cause of this apparently favorable -status of the Eskimo woman; it is another interesting point for -further inquiry.</p> -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_240" id="Page_240">[Pg 240]</a></span></p> -<p>In shape, the head of the western Eskimo is highly mesocephalic -to moderately brachycephalic and of only fair height, and it seldom -approaches the scaphoid or dome-shaped. It is not the narrow, high, -keeled skull of the northeastern and often the northern Eskimo. -The physiognomy, the characteristics of the body, and the mentality -and behavior, are in general typical Eskimo; but the form of the -vault is substantially different. It is a form which approaches on -one side that of the northwesternmost Indian, and on the other that of -the northeastern and Mongoloid Asiatics. More must be said about -this when we come to consider the skull.</p> - -<p><em>The forehead.</em>—Anthropometric studies have shown repeatedly<a name="FNanchor_129_129" id="FNanchor_129_129"></a><a href="#Footnote_129_129" class="fnanchor">[129]</a> -that the height of the forehead is not a safe gauge of intelligence, -as commonly believed, but is controlled by the variable height of -the hair line. Thus the common full-blood American Negro -laborer and servant show a slightly higher forehead than the educated -old American whites.</p> - -<p>Something of a similar nature is found in the Eskimo. As seen -in the following table, in the males the western Eskimo forehead is -absolutely, and especially relatively to stature, higher than it is in -the whites. In the females the absolute height in the two races is -identical, but relatively to stature the Eskimo again shows a clear -though somewhat lesser advantage. The condition is apparently not -due to the size of the head, for this is not greater than in the whites, -in the males; while in the females, where the Eskimo shows a -slightly larger head than the white in relation to stature, the forehead -fails to correspond.</p> - -<div class="center"> -<table class="border" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="Dimensions of Forehead"> - <caption><span class="smcap">Dimensions of Forehead</span></caption> -<col></col> -<col span="4" width="16.7%"></col> - <tr> - <th rowspan="2"></th> - <th colspan="2">Western Eskimo</th> - <th colspan="2">Old Americans</th> - </tr> - <tr> - <th class="bl">Male</th> - <th>Female</th> - <th>Male</th> - <th>Female</th> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc"><em>cm.</em></td> - <td class="tdc"><em>cm.</em></td> - <td class="tdc"><em>cm.</em></td> - <td class="tdc"><em>cm.</em></td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Height, nasion to hair line</td> - <td class="tdr">6.86</td> - <td class="tdr">6.45</td> - <td class="tdr">6.59</td> - <td class="tdr">6.45</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Percentage relation to stature</td> - <td class="tdr"><em>4.23</em></td> - <td class="tdr"><em>4.23</em></td> - <td class="tdr"><em>3.78</em></td> - <td class="tdr"><em>3.80</em></td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Breadth: Diameter frontal minimum</td> - <td class="tdr">10.58</td> - <td class="tdr">10.54</td> - <td class="tdr">10.59</td> - <td class="tdr">10.12</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Percentage relation of diameter frontal minimum to breadth of face</td> - <td class="tdr"><em>71.1</em></td> - <td class="tdr"><em>73.7</em></td> - <td class="tdr"><em>76.4</em></td> - <td class="tdr"><em>77.8</em></td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Forehead index <span class="overunder"><span class="bb">(H×100)</span><br />(B)</span></td> - <td class="tdr"><em>64.8</em></td> - <td class="tdr"><em>61.2</em></td> - <td class="tdr"><em>63.7</em></td> - <td class="tdr"><em>62.1</em></td> - </tr> -</table></div> - -<p>With the lower breadth of the forehead, conditions are also interesting. -The absolute figures for the two races show a reversal. -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_241" id="Page_241">[Pg 241]</a></span> -The height of the forehead is larger in the Eskimo than in the white -males, equal in the females; the lower frontal breadth is equal in the -males but larger in the Eskimo than in the white female. Proportionately -to stature, which is so much lower in the Eskimo, both sexes -of the latter show an advantage in the dimension over the white.</p> - -<p>The percental relation of the breadth of the forehead to that of -the face reflects the excess of the latter in the Eskimo, particularly -the male. There is evidently not a full direct correlation between -the two dimensions. Yet relatively to its height the face is broader -in the females than in the males (see below), which is doubtless -not without influence on the lower breadth of the forehead in the -former.</p> - -<p>To summarize, the western Eskimo forehead exceeds in area that -of the American whites, in both sexes, and that particularly in relation -to stature.

Nor -can they be ascribed to mixture with the Indian in such far-away -groups as the St. Lawrence Islanders, who so long as known have -never had any direct or even indirect contact with Indians. These -relations in dimensions and relative proportions of the body, and -in physiological characteristics such as the slow normal pulse, are -supplemented by many phases of behavior, and often by a more or -less Indianlike physiognomy. They inevitably lead to the conclusion -that the Eskimo and the Indian are in the root members of -the same family. They are two digits of the same hand, separate -and diverging, yet at base joined to and derived from the same -source. And this source, according to many indications, is the -paleo-asiatic, "mongoloid," stem of northern Asia. The western -Eskimo shows to be nearer this source than his more northern and -northeastern relatives, indicating either that he is a later comer, or, -which is more probable, that he has changed less in the south than -in the north.

The material in our own institutions -comprised a small collection of Mahlemut (St. Michael Island) and -"Chukchee" (Asiatic Eskimo) crania made in the early sixties by -W. H. Dall; a larger series of crania gathered in 1881 on St. Michael -and St. Lawrence Islands by E. W. Nelson; 28 skulls with 3 skeletons -brought in 1898 by E. A. McIlheny from Point Barrow; a valuable -lot of skulls from Indian Point, Siberia, with a few from St. -Lawrence Island, collected by W. Bogoras; and some scattered specimens -by other explorers. To this were added in 1912 an important -collection of skulls, with a few skeletons, made by Riley D. Moore, at -that time my aide, on St. Lawrence Island; an important lot of crania -gathered a few years later by V. Stefánsson at Point Barrow; and a -third large and highly interesting lot, this time of both skulls and -skeletons, collected near Barrow for the University Museum at Philadelphia -in 1917-1919 by W. B. Van Valin. But none of the later material -was described excepting the McIlheny collection which, in 1916, -was reported upon by E. W. Hawkes.<a name="FNanchor_142_142" id="FNanchor_142_142"></a><a href="#Footnote_142_142" class="fnanchor">[142]</a></p> - -<p>During the survey which is the subject of this report a special -effort was made to collect all the older skeletal material along the -Bering Sea and Arctic coasts that could be reached, and the result -was the bringing back of some 450 crania, nearly 50 with skeletons, -and many separate parts of the skeleton; nearly all of the specimens -proceeding from localities thus far not represented in the collections. -To which were added in 1927 nearly 200 skulls with a good number -of skeletons gathered by H. B. Collins, jr., assistant curator in the Department -of Anthropology, United States National Museum, and my -aide, T. D. Stewart, on Nunivak Island and along the west coast of -Alaska from Bristol Bay to near the Yukon delta.<a name="FNanchor_143_143" id="FNanchor_143_143"></a><a href="#Footnote_143_143" class="fnanchor">[143]</a></p> - -<p>We thus have now a relatively vast amount of skeletal material on -the western Eskimo; it is essentially a virginal material; it is well -identified as to locality; and the specimens are mostly in very good -condition.</p> - -<p>Aside from Hawkes's thesis, nothing of note had been published -on these collections until 1924, when the first number of my Catalogue -of Human Crania in the United States National Museum Collections -appeared, which includes the principal measurements on -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_255" id="Page_255">[Pg 255]</a></span>290 skulls of the western Eskimo. Since then, in view of the growing -importance of the subject, I have remeasured every specimen -reported before; have measured personally all the new collections; -and thanks to the kindness of those in charge have been enabled to -extend the measurements to all the collections of Eskimo crania, -both from Alaska and elsewhere, that were preserved up to the -spring of 1928 at the National Museum at Ottawa, the American -Museum of Natural History of New York, and the Wistar Institute -of Philadelphia, which now contains the University Museum collections. -The total records reach now to 1,283 adult skulls from practically -all important parts of the total Eskimo area, besides a considerable -quantity of other bones of the skeleton. The main results -of the work will be given here, the detailed measurements being reserved -for another number of the Catalogue.</p> - -<p>To save repetitions and possible confusion and to show more clearly -the status of the southwestern and midwestern Eskimo, the entire -cranial material will be dealt with in this section, and previous -records on the northeastern and a few other groups of the Eskimo -will not be drawn upon to preserve the advantage of dealing with -data obtained by the same methods, instruments, and observer.</p> - -<p>In presenting the records it is found expedient, both on geographical -and anthropological grounds, to make but three groupings. -The first of these comprises the Eskimo from their southernmost -limit to Norton Sound and the Bering Sea islands; the second group -takes in Seward Peninsula (or the larger part of it) and the Arctic -coast to Point Barrow; while the third embraces all the Eskimo -east of Point Barrow. The first of these three groups is remarkably -homogeneous, the second and third show each some exceptional units. -It may be said at once that the dialectic subdivisions of Dall, -Nelson, and others, in a large majority of cases are not found to be -accompanied by corresponding physical differences, so that in a -somatological classification they become submerged.</p> - -<div class="footnotes"><h5>FOOTNOTES:</h5> - -<div class="footnote"> - -<p><a name="Footnote_142_142" id="Footnote_142_142"></a><a href="#FNanchor_142_142"><span class="label">[142]</span></a> Skeletal Measurements and Observations of the Point Barrow Eskimo, Amer.

It is interesting to note that it is precisely these -people who among the western Eskimo are reputed to be about -the lowest also in culture. The Togiak and near-by Kulukak males -showed, as seen before, also about the smallest head in the living. -The St. Lawrence Island males stand just about the middle, but -the females of this island, as, interestingly, also in the living, show -markedly less favorably. The Nunivak skulls, as with the living, are -somewhat above the average, while in the small Pilot Station -(Yukon) group, just as in the near-by contingent of Marshall among -the living, the males have the largest heads in this western territory. -The lower Yukon Eskimo were also shown, it may be recalled, to be -of a higher stature than the majority of the coast people. It is a -group that deserves further attention.</p> - -<p>The module of the female skull does not evidently stand always -in harmony with that of the male. The most striking example of -this is shown, as already mentioned, by the St. Lawrence Island -females, both skulls and the living. The females of this isolated -island are also unduly short, but their small head is not entirely -due to the defective stature. There must exist on this island, it would -seem, some conditions that are disadvantageous to the female. In -the small groups, such as that from the Little Diomede, the disharmonies -are doubtless partly due to small numbers of specimens, but -there may also be other factors, such as the bringing in of women -from other places.<a name="FNanchor_145_145" id="FNanchor_145_145"></a><a href="#Footnote_145_145" class="fnanchor">[145]</a></p> - -<p>Taking the mean of all the groups equalizes conditions, and it is -seen that the module in both sexes is almost identical with that of -the more northern groups, to Point Barrow. But the north Arctic -and northeastern groups give a cranial module that in both sexes is -somewhat higher, though their stature, according to the available -data (Deniker, Boas, Duckworth, Steensby, Thalbitzer), is not -superior.</p> - -<p>A very remarkable showing is that of the percentage relation of the -female to male skull size in the three large groupings. In the first two -it is identical, in the third it differs less than could confidently be expected -among the closest relatives. Another remarkable fact is that -this important relation is found to be much like that in the Eskimo -in various groups of Indians; thus it was <em>96</em> in the Indians o<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_257" id="Page_257">[Pg 257]</a></span>f -Arkansas and Louisiana,[3] <em>95.5</em> in the Munsee of New Jersey,<a name="FNanchor_146_146" id="FNanchor_146_146"></a><a href="#Footnote_146_146" class="fnanchor">[146]</a> and <em>96.4</em> -in the Indian skulls of California.<a name="FNanchor_147_147" id="FNanchor_147_147"></a><a href="#Footnote_147_147" class="fnanchor">[147]</a> But it is only <em>93.6</em> in the Sioux -(52 male, 40 female skulls) and differs more or less also in other -tribes and peoples.

In 283 western male Eskimo skulls in -which we have so far measured the capacity,<a name="FNanchor_149_149" id="FNanchor_149_149"></a><a href="#Footnote_149_149" class="fnanchor">[149]</a> the module averages -15.38 centimeters, the capacity 1,490 cubic centimeters; while -in 382 female skulls thus far gauged the former averages 14.82 -centimeters, the latter 1,337 cubic centimeters. The percentage -relation of the capacity to the module, the numbers taken -as a whole, is <em>96.8</em> in the males but only <em>90.2</em> in the females. This -means that relatively to the external size of the skull the female -Eskimo brain is 6.66 per cent smaller. Similar sex disproportion -exists in other American groups as well as elsewhere. Some day -when suitable data accumulate it will be of much interest to study -this condition on a wider scale.</p> - -<div class="footnotes"><h5>FOOTNOTES:</h5> - -<div class="footnote"> - -<p><a name="Footnote_148_148" id="Footnote_148_148"></a><a href="#FNanchor_148_148"><span class="label">[148]</span></a> See writer's "Relation of the Size of the Head and Skull to Capacity in the Two -Sexes," Am.

The first is that the figures on both sexes from -Barrow and Point Barrow are very nearly the same, suggesting -strongly the identity of the people of the two settlements; and the -Point Hope group is in close relation. The second fact is the curious -identity of the old Igloo group, 8 miles southwest of Barrow, with -the Greenlanders. The import of this will be seen later.</p> - - -<h4>SKULL SHAPE</h4> - -<p>Utilizing the materials of the Otis and Barnard Davis Catalogues -and with measurements taken for him on additional specimens in -several of our museums, Boas, in 1895 (Verh. Berl. anthrop. Ges., -398), as already mentioned, reported the cranial index of 37 "western -Eskimo" skulls of both sexes (without giving localities or details) -as <em>77</em>. He also reports in the same place (p. 391) the cephalic -index of 61 probably male living "Alaska Eskimo," again without -locality, as <em>79.2</em>. These rather high indices and the relatively elevated -stature (61 subjects, 165.8 centimeters) lead him to believe (p. 376) -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_259" id="Page_259">[Pg 259]</a></span>that both are probably due to an admixture with the Alaskan Indian, -though the report contains no measurements of the latter.</p> - -<p>The data that it is now possible to present may perhaps throw a -new light on the matter. As was already seen in part from the data -on the living, the head resp. the skull tends to relative shortness -and broadness throughout the southwestern, midwestern, and Bering -Sea region (excepting parts of the Seward Peninsula). Important -groups in this region, particularly those on some of the islands, had -little or no contact with the Indian. The cranial index in most of -the groups of the southwestern and midwestern Eskimo equals or -even exceeds that of the Indian. And Eskimo groups with a relatively -elevated cranial index are met with even in the far north, as -at Point Hope, Hudson Bay, and Smith Sound.<a name="FNanchor_150_150" id="FNanchor_150_150"></a><a href="#Footnote_150_150" class="fnanchor">[150]</a> Finally, the -shorter and broader head connects with that of the Asiatic Eskimo -and that of the Chukchee, as well as other northeastern Asiatics.<a name="FNanchor_151_151" id="FNanchor_151_151"></a><a href="#Footnote_151_151" class="fnanchor">[151]</a></p> - -<p>The records now available show the highest cranial indices to -occur on the coast between Bristol Bay and the Yukon and on lower -Yukon itself, while the lowest indices of the midwest area, though -still mesocranic, occur in the aggregate of Nunivak Island and the -mouths of the Yukon. Another geographical as well as somatological -aggregate is that of the people of the St. Lawrence and Diomede -Islands and of Indian Point, Siberia, the cranial index in these three -localities being identical.</p> - -<div class="center"> -<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="Eskimo: Cranial Index"> - <caption><span class="smcap">Eskimo: Cranial Index</span><br /> - Mean of both sexes <span class="overunder"><span class="bb">(Male+Female index)</span><br />2</span> on 1,281 adult skulls.<br /> - IN DESCENDING ORDER</caption> -<tbody> - <tr> - <th colspan="0"><em>Southwestern and midwestern</em></th> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(11)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Togiak</td> - <td class="tdr">80.1</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(13)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Hooper Bay</td> - <td class="tdr">79.7</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(10)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Mumtrak</td> - <td class="tdr">79.6</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(6)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Pilot Station, Lower Yukon</td> - <td class="tdr">79.3</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(5)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Chukchee (Siberia)</td> - <td class="tdr">78.6</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(26)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Nelson Island</td> - <td class="tdr">78</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(6)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Southwestern Alaska</td> - <td class="tdr">77.7</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(32)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Indian Point (Siberia)</td> - <td class="tdr">77.4</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(12)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Little Diomede Island</td> - <td class="tdr">77.4</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(299)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>St. Lawrence Island</td> - <td class="tdr">77.2</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(5)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Port Clarence</td> - <td class="tdr">76.6</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(34)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Pastolik and Yukon Delta</td> - <td class="tdr">76.1</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(14)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>St. Michael Island</td> - <td class="tdr">75.7</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(116)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Nunivak Island</td> - <td class="tdr">75.6 <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_260" id="Page_260">[Pg 260]</a></span></td> - </tr> - <tr> - <th colspan="0"><em>Northwestern</em></th> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(222)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Point Hope</td> - <td class="tdr">76.0</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(3)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Kotzebue Sound and Kobuk River</td> - <td class="tdr">75.4</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(22)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Shishmaref</td> - <td class="tdr">74.5</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(101)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Point Barrow</td> - <td class="tdr">74.1</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(73)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Barrow</td> - <td class="tdr">73.5</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(33)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Wales</td> - <td class="tdr">73.5</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(7)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Golovnin Bay</td> - <td class="tdr"><a name="FNanchor_152_152" id="FNanchor_152_152"></a><a href="#Footnote_152_152" class="fnanchor">[152]</a>72.6</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(52)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Igloos, southwest of Barrow</td> - <td class="tdr">69.7</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <th colspan="0"><em>Northern and northeastern</em></th> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(7)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Hudson Bay and vicinity</td> - <td class="tdr">76.3</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(9)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Smith Sound</td> - <td class="tdr">76.2</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(15)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Southampton Island</td> - <td class="tdr">74.8</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(15)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Northern Arctic</td> - <td class="tdr">73.6</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(33)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Baffin Land and vicinity</td> - <td class="tdr">73.2</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc">(101)</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Greenland</td> - <td class="tdr">71.9</td> - </tr> -</tbody> -</table></div> - -<p>The Seward Peninsula shows sudden differences. There are a -few localities along its southern coast where the cranial type belongs -apparently to the Bering Sea and southern area. One site at Port -Clarence was one of these. But already at Golovnin Bay, which -is not far from Norton Sound and St. Michael Island, and according -to the evidence of the most recent collections (Collins 1928), also -at Sledge Island, there is a sudden appearance of marked dolichocrany, -which is repeated at Wales, on the western extremity of the -peninsula, approached at Shishmaref, the main Eskimo settlement -on its northern shore, and, judging from some fragmentary material -seen at the eastern end of the Salt Lake, also in the interior. The -cause of this distinctive feature in the Seward Peninsula is for the -present elusive. The little known territory urgently needs a thorough -exploration.</p> - -<p>The distribution of the cranial index farther north along the -western coast shows several points of interest. The first is the -exceptional position of Point Hope, one of the oldest and most populous -settlements in these regions, which by its cranial index seems -to connect with the Bering Sea groups. The second is the closeness, -once more, of Barrow and Point Barrow. The third and greatest -is the presence, in a small cluster of old igloos 8 miles down the coast -from Barrow, of a group of people that finds no counterpart in its -cranial index and, as will be seen later, also in some other characteristics, -in the entire western region; in fact, in the whole Eskimo -territory outside of Greenland. As noted before, the size of the head -in this group is also closest to that of Greenland. These peculiar -facts indicate a problem that will call for separate consideration.</p> -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_261" id="Page_261">[Pg 261]</a></span></p> -<p>The northern and northeastern groups, with the exception of the -mesocranic Hudson Bay and Smith Sound contingents, and the very -dolichocranic Greenlanders, show dolichocrany much the same as -that of Barrow and Point Barrow.</p> - -<div class="footnotes"><h5>FOOTNOTES:</h5> - -<div class="footnote"> - -<p><a name="Footnote_150_150" id="Footnote_150_150"></a><a href="#FNanchor_150_150"><span class="label">[150]</span></a> Compare writer's "An Eskimo Brain," Amer.

Amer. Ethn., p. 116), -is proving of much value in differentiation of types and has already -become a permanent feature in all writers' work on the skull. -There is a corresponding index also on the living.</p> - -<p>In the American Indian the averages of the index range from -approximately 76 to 90. (See Catalogue of Crania, U. S. Nat. Mus., -Nos. I and II.) Where the series of specimens are sufficiently large -the index does not differ materially in the two sexes. Indices below -80 may be regarded as low, those between 80 and 84 as medium, -and those above 84 as high.<a name="FNanchor_153_153" id="FNanchor_153_153"></a><a href="#Footnote_153_153" class="fnanchor">[153]</a></p> - -<p>The southwestern and midwestern Eskimo skulls show mean -height indices that may be characterized as moderate to slightly above -medium. In general the broader and shorter skulls show lower -indices, approaching thus in all the characters of the vault the -Mongolian skulls of Asia. (Compare Catalogue Crania, U. S. Nat. -Mus., No. I.) The Indian Point, St. Lawrence Island, and Little -Diomede Island skulls are again, as with the cranial index, very close -together, strengthening the evidence that the three constitute the -same group of people. (Pls. 59, 60.)</p> - -<p>The northwestern Eskimo and most of those of the northeast -have relatively high vault. Barrow and Point Barrow are once -more almost the same. The Point Hope group shows a high vault, -though also rather broad. The somewhat broad Hudson Bay crania<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_262" id="Page_262">[Pg 262]</a></span> -are but moderately high, like those of the southwestern Eskimo. The -northern Arctic skulls give smaller height than would be expected -with their type; the Southampton Island specimens give higher. -The old Igloo group from near Barrow stands again close to Greenland; -its skull is even a trace narrower and higher, standing in both -respects at the limits of the Eskimo. The whole, as with the cranial -index, shows evidently a rich field of evolutionary conditions.</p> - -<div class="center"> -<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="Eskimo: Cranial Mean Height Index"> - <caption><span class="smcap">Eskimo: Cranial Mean Height Index</span><br /> - <span class="overunder"><span class="bb">(<span class="smcap">H-Floor-Line of Aud.

The reason is the height of the upper -face, for which the accompanying considerable expansion of the zygomatic -arches does not fully compensate. In the white groups this -index ranges from approximately <em>50</em> to <em>54</em>; it averages <em>52.9</em> in 15 -Algonquian and <em>53.1</em> in 12 Siouan tribes. The means in the large -Eskimo groupings are from a little below <em>54</em> to a little over <em>55</em>. Its -regional differences have already been mentioned.

Our data throw much light on this feature also.</p> - -<p>Where the dimensions of the whole face are altered by some cause -the nose can not remain unaffected. This is especially true of its -height, which correlates directly and closely with that of the face -proper; the correlation of the breadth of the nose with that of the -face is weaker and more irregular, but not absent where not counteracted -by other factors. Accordingly with the high Eskimo upper -face there is found also a high nose, both being the highest known -to anthropometry. But the nasal breadth, instead of responding to -the considerable facial breadth, has become smaller, until in some of -the Eskimo groups it is the smallest of all known human groups. -There is plainly another potent factor in action here.

As a similar relation of the cranial modules in the -two sexes is close to <em>95.7</em>, the anterior basal length would seem to be at -a little disadvantage in the female Eskimo skull.</p> - -<p>The same condition is seen also when the basion-nasion diameter -is compared with the length of the skull. In the males, notwithstanding -the fact that the length of the vault is increased through the -development of the frontal sinuses and not infrequently also through -that of the occipital ridges, the percentage relation of the basion-nasion -to the maximum total length of the vault is approximately -<em>56.3</em>, in the females but <em>55.8</em>. It seems therefore safe to say that in -the Eskimo, in general, that part of the brain anterior to the foramen -magnum is relatively somewhat better developed in the males -than in the females.</p> - -<p>But to this there are some exceptions. Thus it may be seen in the -general table which follows that in the northwestern groups conditions -in this respect are equalized; and in the succeeding detailed -table it will be noted that while the males exceed the females in this -particular in 14 of the groups, in 5 groups conditions are equal (or -within one decimal), and in 5 the female percentage exceeds slightly -that in the males. In the numerically best represented groups conditions -are nearly equal, with the males nevertheless slightly favored.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_279" id="Page_279">[Pg 279]</a></span></p> -

This -equalization is due largely, if not wholly, to the effect in the males -of the relatively longer basio-nasion diameter (v. a.), while the -alveolar angle, or that between the basi-alveolar and the subnasal -lines, is in general by about 1 per cent lower in the females (males, -56°; females, 55°), indicating a slightly greater slant of the subnasal -region in the female, which can only be due to a relatively slightly -shorter in this sex of the basion-subnasal point diameter. As a matter -of fact, the percentage relation of this diameter to the length of the -skull amounts in the males to <em>56.3</em>, in the females to but <em>55.6</em>.</p> - -<p>Compared to that in the Indians, the facial angle in the Eskimo -skulls shows close affinities. Its value (69°) is very nearly the same -as in the mound skulls from Arkansas and Louisiana (males 70.7°, -females 69°). In other Indians it ranges from close to 68° to 71.5°. -In the Munsee it reached 73.5°.

It shows considerable individual, -sex, and group differences. It averages slightly to moderately -higher, which means a more open angle or less slant in the males -than in the females. In the Eskimo as a whole it was seen to be -approximately 56° in the males, 55° in the females; in the Munsee -Indians (Bull. 62, Bur. Amer. Ethn.) it was males 59°, females -57°; in the Arkansas and Louisiana skulls (J. Ac. Sci., Phila., 1909, -XIV) it averaged males 55°, females 52°. In my catalogue material -it shows a group variation of 46.5° to 55.5° in the negro, 47.5° -to 52.5° in the Australians, 46.5° to 50.5° in the Melanesians. In the -whites it generally exceeds 60°.</p> - -<p>Differences in facial and alveolar protrusion among the Eskimo -according to area are small, yet they are not wholly absent. The -figures below show that in the southwesterners and midwesterners, -where the skull is more rounded, the prognathism is smallest; and -that toward the north and northeast, where the skull is narrower -and the palate (dental arch) tends to become longer, prognathism -increases.

As elsewhere, so among the Eskimo, more -children die than adults, but conditions are not favorable for the -preservation of their skeletal remains. Most of the bones are done -away with or damaged by animals (foxes, dogs, mice, etc.), while -others decay, so that generally nothing remains of the youngest -subjects and but a few bones and a rare skull of the older children. -The total number of such skulls in our collection now reaches 25. -They are all of children of more than 2 but mostly less than 6 years -old, and are all normal specimens. The principal measurements of -their vault—a study of the face is a subject apart and needing more -material—are given in the following tables.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_295" id="Page_295">[Pg 295]</a></span></p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">Crania of Eskimo Children</span></h3> - -<div class="center"> -<table class="border" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="Crania of Eskimo Children"> -<col span="12" width="8.3%"></col> - <tr> - <th rowspan="2">Catalogue No.</th> - <th rowspan="2">Collector</th> - <th rowspan="2">Locality</th> - <th rowspan="2">De­for­ma­tion</th> - <th colspan="3">Vault</th> - <th rowspan="2">Cranial<br />index</th> - <th rowspan="2">Mean<br />height<br />Index</th> - <th rowspan="2">Height-breadth index</th> - <th rowspan="2">Basion-nasion</th> - <th rowspan="2">Basion-nasion<br />diameter<br />vs.<br />length<br />of skull</th> - </tr> - <tr> - <th class="bl">Length</th> - <th>Breadth</th> - <th>Height</th> - </tr> - <tr> - <td class="tdc">U.S.N.M.</td> - <td></td> - <td></td> - <td></td> - <td></td> - <td></td> - <td></td> - <td></td> - <td></td> - <td></td> - <td></td> - <td></td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>332563</td> - <td>A.

This physiological hyperostosis presents more -or less irregular surface and is undoubtedly of functional origin, the -result of extraordinary pressure along the line of teeth most concerned -in chewing; yet its occurrence in infant skulls indicates that -at least to some extent the feature is already hereditary in these -Eskimo."</p> - -<p>In 1912, Kajava<a name="FNanchor_179_179" id="FNanchor_179_179"></a><a href="#Footnote_179_179" class="fnanchor">[179]</a> reported lingual hyperostotic thickenings on the -lower jaws of 68 adult Lapps, and found the condition in frequent -association with pronounced wear of the teeth. In 1915, finally, -Fürst and C.C. Hansen, in their great volume on "Crania Groenlandica," -approach this question much more thoroughly. They, as -also Kajava, did not know of the writer's report of 1910. They found -the "torus" (p. <a href="#Page_181">181</a>), "also in the mandibles of some various Siberian -races in a not insignificant percentage * * * and also not infrequently -among European races, especially in the Laplanders -(30 to 35 per cent)." They also report the presence of the condition -"in a Chinaman," and saw indications of a good development -of it in 17 per cent of 164 middle ages to prehistoric, and in 12 per -cent of later Scandinavian lower jaws. Their interesting comments -on its possible causation, though at one point seemingly not harmonizing, -are as follows (p. <a href="#Page_180">180</a>): "The possibility is not precluded -that we have here a formation which, even though it has at first -arisen and been acquired through mechanical causes, has in the end -become a racial character, albeit a variable one." And page <a href="#Page_181">181</a>: -"There seems to be no doubt whatever that it is a formation connected -with Arctic races or Arctic conditions of life; and, accordingly, it can -not safely be assumed to be a racial character, however difficult it is -to regard it as a formation only acquired individually."</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 428px;"> -<div class="caption"><p><span class="bureau">BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY</span> <span class="plate">FORTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT PLATE 61</span><br /></p> -</div> -<img src="images/plate_61a.jpg" width="428" height="700" alt="" /> -<div class="caption"><p><span class="smcap">Western Eskimo and Aleut (middle) Lower Jaws, Showing Lingual -Hyperostoses</span>.

They -are formed largely, if not entirely, by compact bone tissues of evidently -normal construction. They never show a trace of attending -inflammation or of ulceration or of breaking down. They resemble -occasionally the osteomae of the vault of the skull, and more distantly -the osteomae of the auditory meatus, but in those cases -where the bony swelling is uniform and in many others they show to -be of quite a different category. (Pl. 61.)</p> - -<p>As a rule these bony protuberances in the Eskimo are not connected -with evidence of pyorrhoea, root abscesses, or any other -pathological condition of the teeth, for those conditions are practically -absent in the older Eskimo skulls; therefore they can not be -ascribed to any irritation due to such conditions, and the Eskimo -have no habits that could possibly be imagined as favoring, through -mechanical irritation, the development of these bony swellings. -Wear of the teeth, which has been thought to stand possibly in a -causative relation to these developments, is common in many races -and even in animals (primates, etc.), without being accompanied -by any such formations.</p> - -<p>The development of such overgrowths is not wholly limited, as -already indicated from the cases reported by Danielli (1884) and -Virchow (1889), to the lower jaw, but somewhat similar growths -may also be observed, though much more rarely, both lingually and -on the outer border of the alveolar process of the upper jaw in the -molar region. When present in the latter position they interfere -with the measurement of the external breadth of the dental arch.</p> - -<p>But, if neither pathological themselves nor due to any pathological -or mechanical irritation, then these hyperostoses can only be, it would -seem, of a physiological, ontogenic nature; and if so, then they must -be brought about through a definite need and for a definite purpose -or function.</p> - -<p>These views are supported by their marked symmetry, which is -very apparent even where they are irregular; by the fact that in -general they are not found in the weakest jaws (weak individuals), -or again in the largest and stoutest mandibles (jaws that are strong -enough, as it is); and by the history of their development.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_310" id="Page_310">[Pg 310]</a></span></p> - -<p>Our rather extensive present data on children show that these -formations are absent in infancy. They begin to develop in older -childhood, in adolescence, or even during the earlier adult life; they -stop developing at different stages in different individuals, and they -never lead to any deformity of the body of the mandible.</p> - -<p>These overgrowths are further seen to be more common and to more -frequently reach a pronounced development in the males than in the -females.</p> - -<p>What is the effect of these hyperostoses? They strengthen the -dental arch. With them the arch is stronger; without them it would -be weaker. The view is therefore justified that they augment the -effectiveness of the dental arch; which is just what is needed or -would be useful in such people as the Eskimo where the demands on -the jaws exceed in general those in any other people.</p> - -<p>All these appear to be facts of incontrovertible nature; but if so -then we are led to practically the same conclusion that I have reached -in the study of the central and Smith Sound Eskimo, which is that -the lingual mandibular hyperostoses are physiological formations, -developed in answer to the needs of the alveolar portions of the -lower jaw. They could be termed synergetic hyperostoses.</p> - -<p>The process of the development of these strengthening deposits of -bone is probably still largely individual; yet the tendency toward -such developments appears to be already hereditary in the Eskimo, -as indicated by their beginning here and there in childhood. But -their absence in nearly one-third of the Eskimo mandibles, their -marked differences of occurrence and development in the two sexes, -and their occasional presence in the jaws of various other peoples, -including even the whites, speak against the notion of these hyperostoses -being as yet true racial features.</p> - -<p>Taking everything into consideration, the writer is more than ever -convinced that the lingual hyperostoses of the normal lower (as well -as the upper) jaw, in the Eskimo as elsewhere, are physiological, -ontogenic developments, whose object and function is the strengthening -of the lower alveolar process in its lateral portions. Only -when excessively developed, which is very rare, they may, mechanically, -perhaps cause discomfort and thereby approach a pathological -condition.</p> - -<div class="footnotes"><h4>FOOTNOTES:</h4> - -<div class="footnote"> - -<p><a name="Footnote_169_169" id="Footnote_169_169"></a><a href="#FNanchor_169_169"><span class="label">[169]</span></a> None in the younger children.</p></div> - -<div class="footnote"> - -<p><a name="Footnote_170_170" id="Footnote_170_170"></a><a href="#FNanchor_170_170"><span class="label">[170]</span></a> All in older children or adolescents.</p></div> - -<div class="footnote"> - -<p><a name="Footnote_171_171" id="Footnote_171_171"></a><a href="#FNanchor_171_171"><span class="label">[171]</span></a> Danielli, J., Arch. p. l'antrop. e l'etnol., 1884, <span class="smcap">XIV</span>.</p></div> - -<div class="footnote"> - -<p><a name="Footnote_172_172" id="Footnote_172_172"></a><a href="#FNanchor_172_172"><span class="label">[172]</span></a> Meddel. om.

-<p>The first fact shown by the preceding figures is the slightly greater -length of all the long bones in the midwestern and northwestern -groups as compared with those of the Bering Sea (midwestern and -southwestern). This means naturally that the people of the Seward -Peninsula and northward average somewhat taller in stature.</p> - -<p>The second evident fact is that the people of the Seward Peninsula -and the more northern groups (so far as represented in these collections) -show a slightly greater stature of all the bones than the -groups farther south, showing that they were both a somewhat taller -and somewhat sturdier people.</p> - -<p>The next fact of importance is the remarkable agreement in some -respects in the relative proportions of the main skeletal parts between -the people of the more southern and the more northern groups. -The males are more regular in this respect than the females. The -relative proportions of the humerus and again the tibia at their -middle are identical in the males of the southwestern and midwestern -groups and those farther northward; and the radio-humeral, humero-femoral, -and tibio-femoral indices are all very closely related. Why -there should be less agreement in these respects among the females -it is difficult to say; in all probability the series of specimens are not -sufficiently large.</p> - -<p>The next table presents data and some racial comparisons. Here -the western Eskimo are taken as a unit. They are seen to considerably -resemble the Yukon Indians, but somewhat less so other Indians -in the radio-humeral and tibio-femoral indices, and they resemble all -the Indians in the relative proportions of the femur at its middle. In -other respects there are somewhat more marked differences, especially -between the western Eskimo and the Indians in general. Some irregularities -in the Yukon series may be due to insufficiency of numbers.</p> - -<p>When compared with the bones of the whites and the negroes the -Eskimo and Indians separate themselves in many respects as a -distinct group, while the white and the negro bones are particularly -distinct through the greater relative thickness of the humerus and -tibia at their middle, and of the femur at its upper flattening; in -other words the Eskimo as well as the Indians are more platybrachic, -platymeric and platycnemic than the whites or the negroes.</p> - -<p>The basic relation of the Eskimo to the Indian bones is quite evident; -though the Eskimo, when compared to Indians outside of -Alaska, show a relatively shorter radius and tibia, indicating the -already discussed relative shortness of the forearm and leg.</p> -

-<p>One of the most desirable of possibilities in the anthropometry of -any people, but particularly in groups now extinct, is a correct estimation -of their stature. For this purpose the most useful aid has been -found in the long bones, and various essays have been made by Manouvrier, -Rollet, Topinard, Pearson, and others<a name="FNanchor_198_198" id="FNanchor_198_198"></a><a href="#Footnote_198_198" class="fnanchor">[198]</a> at preparing tables -or arriving at methods that would enable the student to promptly -and satisfactorily obtain the stature as it was in life from the length -of the long bones. But all these essays were based on observations -on white people, and it has always been recognized that they could -not with equal confidence be applied to other racial groups. They -would in all probability be especially inapplicable to the Eskimo -with his relatively short forearms and legs; yet the possibility of -estimating the stature in many localities of the Eskimo territory, -where no living remain, would be of real value. Fortunately for this -purpose there are now some data on hand which make this possible.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_317" id="Page_317">[Pg 317]</a></span></p> - -<p>In 1910, in my Contributions to the Anthropology of the Central -and Smith Sound Eskimo, I was able to report both the stature and -the length of the long bones in two normally developed adult males -and one adult female from Smith Sound. To this it is now possible to -add larger though less direct data from the group of St. Lawrence -Island.

B. Van Valin, with the -help of Charles Brower, the well-known local trader and collector, -excavated near Barrow a group of six tumuli, which proved in the -opinion of Van Valin to be so many old igloos, containing plentiful -cultural as well as skeletal material. The collections eventually -reached the museum, but due to lack of facilities they were in the -main never unpacked.</p> - -<p>I heard of this material first from Mr. Brower, with whom I sailed -in 1926 from Barrow southward, and later with Dr. J. Alden Mason -I saw the collection still in the original boxes, at the University -Museum. In April of this year the skeletal remains were transferred -to the Wistar Institute, Philadelphia, and after their transfer I -obtained the permission of Dr. Milton J. Greenman, director of the -Wistar Institute, to examine the material, which was of importance -to him in connection with his own collections from Barrow and southward. -A due acknowledgment for the privilege is hereby rendered -to both Doctor Greenman and Doctor Mason.</p> - -<p>The study proved one of unexpected and uncommon interest. The -material was found to consist of two separate lots. The first of these -consisted of a considerable number of brown colored, more or less -complete skeletons with skulls, proceeding from the "igloos"; while -the second lot comprised a series of whitened isolated skulls, without -other skeletal parts and mostly even without the component lower -jaws, gathered on the tundra near Barrow. At first sight, also, -the skulls of the two groups were seen to present important -differences.</p> - -<p>The "igloo" crania, while plainly pure Eskimo, proved to be of a -decidedly exceptional nature for this location. The skulls, in brief, -were not of the general western Eskimo type, but reminded at once -strongly of the skulls from Greenland and Labrador. And they were -exceptionally uniform, showing that they belonged to a definite and -distinct Eskimo group.</p> - -<p>After writing of this to Doctor Mason, he kindly sent me a copy of -the notes and observations on the discovery of the material by W. B. -Van Valin, who was in charge of the excavation. The detailed notes -will soon be published by Doctor Mason. The main information they -convey is as follows:</p> - -<p>The excavations by Van Valin date from 1918-19. They were made -in six large "heaps," approximately 8 miles southwest of Barrow and -about 1,000 yards back from the beach on the tundra. Two of the -heaps were on the northern and four on the southern side of a ravine<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_319" id="Page_319">[Pg 319]</a></span> -or draw formed by a drain flowing from inland to the sea. The -Eskimo at Barrow knew nothing about these remains or their people.</p> - -<p>Each of the heaps inclosed what in the excavator's opinion was an -"igloo" made of driftwood and earth; and all contained evidently -undisturbed human skeletons. The total number of bodies of all -ages was counted as 83, and they ranged from infants to old people. -There were many bird and other skins (for covers and clothing), -and numerous utensils. The hair on the bodies was in general -"black as a raven." Most of the bodies lay on "beds" of moss or -"ground willows," or rough-hewn boards. There was no indication -of any violence or sudden death. The bodies at places were in three -levels, one above the other; but there was but moderate uniformity in -the orientation of the bodies. There were found with the burials no -traces of dogs (though there were some sled runners), and no -metal, glass, pipes, labrets, nets, soapstone lamps or dog harness; but -there were bows and arrows, bolas, and ordinary pottery. The cultural -objects, Doctor Mason wrote me, resemble in a smaller measure -those of the older Bering Sea, to a larger extent those of the old -northern or "Thule" culture. There were some jadeite axes, indicating -a direct or indirect contact with Kotzebue Sound and the -Kobuk River.</p> - -<p>Some of the bearskin coverings were "as bright and silvery" as -the day the bear was killed (Van Valin); and the frozen bodies were -evidently in a state of preservation approaching that of natural -mummies.</p> - -<p>Notwithstanding indications to the contrary, Van Valin reached -the opinion that these remains were not those of regular burials, -though offering no other definite hypothesis.</p> - -<p>Desiring additional information about this highly interesting find, -I wrote to Mr. Brower, who assisted at the excavations, and received -the following answer:</p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p>These mounds are from 5 to 8 miles south of the Barrow village (Utkiavik). -The largest that were opened were the farthest south, and seemed more like -raised lumps on the land than ruins. No doubt that is the reason no one had -bothered them.</p> - -<p>The Eskimo have no traditions of these people. In fact they did not even -suspect the mounds contained human remains until Mr. Van Valin started to -investigate them.</p> - -<p>While Van Valin thought they might be houses, I have always thought they -were burial mounds, as there seemed no family to have been together at the -time of death as often has happened. When whole families have died from some -epidemic, then the man and wife are together under their sleeping skins. In -these mounds each party was wrapped separate, either in polar bear or musk -ox skins; none were wrapped in deer skins. If male, all his hunting implements -were at his side, and if a female her working tools were with her, as -scrapers, dishes of wood, and stone knives. The men had their bows, arrows,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_320" id="Page_320">[Pg 320]</a></span> -spears, and often a heavy club, for what purpose unless used in fighting I -could not make out. At the head of each person was a small receptacle, made -of whalebone, and in it or alongside was a long wing bone that had been used -as a drinking tube. In some cases there seemed to be the remains of food in -the platters, but that was impossible to identify. Most of the bodies were laid -on the ground, a few had the remains of scrub willow under them, while only -in two or three cases had there been driftwood planks under the bodies; these -were crudely hewn with their old stone adzes.</p> - -<p>There seems to have been some sort of driftwood houses over these bodies -at some time, but they decayed and have fallen on the remains, which were in -some cases embedded in the ice. Often before the frame had broken down -earth must have accumulated and covered the bodies. In these cases the flesh -has the consistency of a fine meal. While with those in the ice in some cases -part of the flesh still remained. In both cases when exposed to the air they -rapidly disintegrated, leaving nothing except the bones. By measurements they -must have been a larger race than the present people.</p> - -<p>When your letter reached here I at once started making inquiries as to what -mounds were still intact; and I find that as far as known only two of the -larger ones have not been opened. The Eskimo have been opening the mounds -ever since they were found, taking from them all the hunting implements -and other material and selling them aboard the ships for curios. It seems a -shame that all this should be lost to science, and if no one takes an interest in -these places in a year or two they will all be gone.</p> - -<p>I have again made inquiries as to what the present Eskimo think of these -people, but they tell me they have no tradition regarding them and that they -do not know if they were their ancestors or not. In fact, they are ignorant -of where they came from or when they died.</p> - -<p>To date I do not know of any whaling implement being found with these -old people, neither is any of the framework of these mounds made from the -bones of whales. In some of the implements ivory has been used. The mounds -farthest from the shore were about 400 yards, those that remain are closer to -the beach. Some of the smaller ones are on the banks of small streams but -never very far from shore. Undoubtedly, however, they were at one time -considerably farther from the sea, but the sea is every year claiming some -of this land, especially where the banks are high along the beach. There the -beach is narrow and during a gale the waves wash out the land at its base. -This is about all that I can tell you of these people. All credit for finding -these mounds belongs to Van Valin.</p> - -<p> -Yours truly,</p> -<p class="right"><span class="smcap">Chas. D. Brower</span>.<br /> -</p> -</div> - -<p><em>The material.</em>—The collection as received at the Wistar Institute -was notable for its general dark color, enhanced in many of the -specimens by dark to black remains of the tissues. There was no -mineralization and but little bone decay, though the bones were -somewhat brittle.</p> - -<p>There is a scarcity of children and adolescents; there are in fact -only two skulls of subjects less than 20 years of age in the collection.</p> - -<p>The skulls and bones that remain show no violence.</p> - -<p>The remains show a complete freedom from syphilis or other constitutional -disease; the only pathological condition present in some -of the bones being arthritis. This speaks strongly for their preced<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_321" id="Page_321">[Pg 321]</a></span>ing -the contact with whites. The surface series, though smaller, -shows three syphilitic skulls. An additional fact of interest is the -absence in both the igloo and the surface series of all marks of -scurvy. Such marks are fairly common farther southward. Finally, -none of the skulls are deformed, either in life or posthumously.</p> - - -<h3><span class="smcap">Anthropological Observations and Measurements on the -Collections</span></h3> - -<p><em>Age.</em>—The first observations made on the igloo material were those -as to the individual ages of the bodies. Such observations are necessarily -rough, yet within sufficiently broad limits fairly reliable. The -criteria are principally the condition of the teeth and that of the -sutures. The possible error in such estimates is, experience has -shown, as a rule well within 10 years in the older and within 5 years -in the young adults or subadults.</p> - -<p>One of the objects of these observations on the "igloo" material -was to get some further light on whether the remains were those -of a group that perished of an epidemic, famine, or some other sudden -agency, or whether they represented just burials. The age distribution -of the dead would differ considerably in the two cases.</p> - -<div class="center"> -<table class="border" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="Estimated Ages at Death"> - <caption><span class="smcap">Estimated Ages at Death</span></caption> -<col></col> -<col span="4" width="16.7%"></col> - <tr> - <th colspan="0">IGLOO MATERIAL</th> - </tr> - <tr> - <th></th> - <th>20 to 25</th> - <th>30 to 40</th> - <th>45 to 55</th> - <th>Above 55</th> - </tr> - <tr> - <td></td> - <td class="tdc"><em>Per cent</em></td> - <td class="tdc"><em>Per cent</em></td> - <td class="tdc"><em>Per cent</em></td> - <td class="tdc"><em>Per cent</em></td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Males (27)</td> - <td class="tdr">11</td> - <td class="tdr">15</td> - <td class="tdr">41</td> - <td class="tdr">33</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Females (25)</td> - <td class="tdr">16</td> - <td class="tdr">24</td> - <td class="tdr">44</td> - <td class="tdr">16</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Mean, both sexes</td> - <td class="tdr">13.5</td> - <td class="tdr">19</td> - <td class="tdr">42.5</td> - <td class="tdr">25</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <th colspan="0">SURFACE SERIES</th> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Males (21)</td> - <td></td> - <td class="tdr">5</td> - <td class="tdr">48</td> - <td class="tdr">48</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Females (14)</td> - <td class="tdr">29</td> - <td class="tdr">36</td> - <td class="tdr">36</td> - <td></td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>Mean, both sexes</td> - <td class="tdr">11.5</td> - <td class="tdr">17</td> - <td class="tdr">43</td> - <td class="tdr">29.5</td> - </tr> -</table></div> - -<p>The above table shows the data obtained, with those on the surface -material from the same collection and known to be that of ordinary -burials.</p> - -<p>The results do not agree with the composition of the living population -but are apparently near to what might be expected in burials. -Taking the sexes apart, the series from the surface shows a somewhat -more favorable condition for the men, but worse for the women. -Taking the materials, however, regardless of sex, the proportions of<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_322" id="Page_322">[Pg 322]</a></span> -ages in the earlier igloos and in the late surface burials are practically -identical.

This strikes the observer -at the first sight of the specimens, and the impression is only strengthened -by detail examination. The skulls are very narrow, long, and -high. They differ plainly from anything except occasional individual -specimens, either about Barrow or along the rest of the west -coast of Alaska, with the possible exception of a few groups of -Seward Peninsula. They recall strongly the crania of Labrador and -south Greenland. It is the Labrador-Greenland type throughout, -men, women, and even the two children. It is a group outside of the -range of local variation. It is a strange Eskimo group, either developed -here in former times as it developed in Greenland and -Labrador, and possibly the Seward Peninsula, or one that had come -here from places where such type had already been realized.</p> - -<p>The following data (the individual measurements will appear in a -later number of the Catalogue of Crania) show the differences between -the Igloo and the surface material, the latter both of the Van -Valin and of the author's collections, and the valuable Stefánsson -material, now at the American Museum, from Point Barrow. They -need but little comment. They show clearly on one hand the wholly -Eskimo nature of the Igloo skulls, and on the other their distinctness -from those of the later burials, both of Barrow and Point Barrow. -The vault especially is characteristic—narrow, long, high, more -or less keel-shaped. The face in general is much more alike in the -three groups; nevertheless its absolute height and breadth in the -Igloo series are slightly smaller than in the other two, and there -are minor differences in the orbits and the palate.</p> -

-<p>A comparison of the Igloo and Greenland series with the material -from Golovnin Bay and Sledge Island shows also numerous similarities -but with them some rather material differences. The differences -are especially marked in the females, whose characteristics approach<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_326" id="Page_326">[Pg 326]</a></span> -more those of the midwestern Eskimo, which suggests that an important -proportion of them may have been derived from the latter. -However, even the males tend to differ. Both sexes show absolutely -a somewhat broader skull than that of the northerners; in both sexes -the skull, as seen from the cranial module, is slightly larger in the -Seward Peninsula series than in either of the other groups; but the -principal differences are seen in the face, which in the Seward -Peninsula group is perceptibly larger and especially higher than it -is in either the Igloo or the Greenland series. The orbits also in the -southerners are larger and the nose is slightly higher.</p> - -<p>On the whole it may be said that the resemblance of the Igloo -crania to those of Greenland is closer than that to either or both of -the series of Golovnin Bay and Sledge Island. This suggests the -possibility that a similar though not quite the same differentiation in -the skull may have taken place both in the Seward Peninsula and in -the far north; though the possibility of a derivation of any one of -the three groups from any of the others can not be discarded.

-<p>The first of the most apparent facts is that the type of the Yukon -Eskimo stands well apart from both of the other series in a number -of essentials, showing that it is not very nearly related and that it -may be left out of consideration.</p> - -<p>On the other hand the long bones from the Seward Peninsula and -the northwest coast, especially those of the males, show very closely to<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_328" id="Page_328">[Pg 328]</a></span> -those of the Igloo group. The male bones of the two series are almost -identical, except that the Igloo bones are somewhat stronger.</p> - -<p>Such close resemblances can hardly be fortuitous. They speak -strongly for the basic identity of the old Igloo people with those of at -least parts of the Seward Peninsula and parts of the northwest -coast. If we take the bones from the Seward Peninsula alone (see -p. <a href="#Page_314">314</a>) it is found that these resemblances still hold.</p> - -<p>The evidence thus shown constitutes a strong indication that the -old Igloo group may be inherently related to that part of the Eskimo -population of Seward Peninsula which shows the long and narrow -skull; but the data offer no light on the questions as to whether the -Igloo group may have been derived from that of the Seward Peninsula -or vice versa, and on the true relation of either or both of these to -the Eskimo of Baffin Land, Greenland, and Labrador.</p> - -<p>To definitely decide the problem of the Igloo group there are needed -data on the long bones of the northeasterners; in the second place it -is highly desirable to know how large and how ancient was the group -of the narrow-headed people on the Seward Peninsula and Sledge -Island; and in the third place it is important that the cultural history -of the two groups be known as thoroughly as possible. All of which -are tasks for the future.</p> - -<p>The possibility of a development of the Igloo cranial type on the -northwest coast itself can not be denied, in view of the facts that -all its characteristics are within the ranges of normal individual -variations on that coast, and that similar developments have evidently -been realized elsewhere. But in such a case it would be -logical to expect, locally or not far away, some ancestry of the group, -and the group would not probably be limited to a little spot and a -few scores of persons. Had the group developed incidentally from -a physically exceptional family, it could not be expected to have -been anywhere nearly as uniform as the group under consideration. -The high degree of uniformity of the Igloo contingent speaks for -a well accomplished differentiation; and as there is no other trace of -this in the conditions near Barrow, and there are no ruins denoting -a long occupation, the evidence is against a local development and -for an immigration of the group. A coming of a small-sized contingent -from the Seward Peninsula would be easy; its coming from -Greenland or Labrador or Baffin Land would surely be difficult, but -not impossible to the Eskimo, who is known to have been a traveler.</p> - -<p>Whatever may be the eventual solution of the Igloo problem, it is -plain that the presence of that group near Barrow, together with the -presence of evidently closely related groups in a part of the Seward -Peninsula and again in the far east of the Eskimo region, offers much -food for thought and investigation. The most plausible possibility<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_329" id="Page_329">[Pg 329]</a></span> -would seem to be a relatively late (within the present millennium) -coming of a physically already well differentiated small group, from -either the south or the east, with a relatively short settlement at the -Barrow site, some local multiplication in numbers, and then extinction -partly through disease, partly perhaps through absorption into -a stronger and newer contingent derived from the western people.</p> - -<div class="footnotes"><h4>FOOTNOTES:</h4> - -<div class="footnote"> - -<p><a name="Footnote_200_200" id="Footnote_200_200"></a><a href="#FNanchor_200_200"><span class="label">[200]</span></a> The measurements of this series have been published by the writer in the first part -of the Catalogue of Human Crania in the U.

In the words of Captain Hooper,<a name="FNanchor_202_202" id="FNanchor_202_202"></a><a href="#Footnote_202_202" class="fnanchor">[202]</a> "Neither the origin nor -meaning of the name 'Esquimaux,' or Eskimo, as it is now spelled, -is known. According to Doctor Rink, the name 'Esquimaux' was -first given to the inhabitants of Southern Labrador as a term of derision -by the inhabitants of Northern Labrador, and means raw-fish -eater.

Among the earliest of these -were those of missionaries, such as Crantz (1779), and of the early -explorers, such as Steller, v. Wrangell, Lütke and others. They were -based on the general aspect of the Eskimo, particularly that of his -physiognomy; and seeing that in many features he resembled most -the mongoloid peoples of Asia they attached him to these, which -meant the conclusion that he was of Asiatic derivation. Quite soon, -however, there began to appear also the opinions of students of man. -The first of these was that of Blumenbach, as expressed in his Inaugural -Thesis of 1781. In this thesis, more particularly its second -edition, he classifies the Eskimo expressly as a part of the Caucasian -or white race. But after obtaining an Eskimo skull and an Eskimo -body he changes his opinion and in 1795-1806 he comes out with a -definite classification of the Eskimo as a member of the Mongolians; -and a similar conclusion, with its implied or expressed consequence -of a migration from Asia to America, has been reached since, mainly -on somatological but also in part on linguistic and cultural bases, -by a large number of authors, including Lawrence, Morton, Pickering, -Latham, Flower, Peschel, Topinard, Brinton, Virchow (1877), -Quatrefages and Hamy (1882), Thalbitzer, Bogoras and numerous -others. With all of this, the conception of the Asiatic origin of the -Eskimo has not passed the status of a strong probability, lacking a -final conclusive demonstration.</p> - -<p>A chronological list of the more noteworthy individual statements -is given at the end of this section.</p> - -<p><em>Origin in America.</em>—Since the earlier parts of the nineteenth -century the opinion began to be expressed that the Eskimo is not of -Asiatic but of American origin. Already in 1847 Prichard tells us -that there are those who "consider them as belonging to the American -family," and he plainly favors this conception.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_331" id="Page_331">[Pg 331]</a></span></p> - -<p>Between 1873 and 1890 the American origin of the Eskimo is repeatedly -asserted by Rink, who for 16 winters and 22 summers lived -with the eastern Eskimo, first as a scientific explorer and later as -royal inspector or governor of the southern Danish settlements in -Greenland (preface by R. Brown to Rink's Tales and Traditions, -1875). In this opinion, briefly, the Eskimo were derived from the -inland Indian tribes of Alaska; without referring to the origin of the -Indian.</p> - -<p>Rink's authoritative opinion was followed or paralleled by Daniel -Wilson (1876), Grote, Krause, Ray, Keane, Brown, and others. In -1887 Chamberlain expresses the somewhat startling additional theory -that it was not the Eskimo who was derived from the Mongolians -but the Mongolians from the Eskimo or their American ancestors. -And in 1901-1910 Boas comes to the conclusion that the Eskimo -probably originated from the inland tribes (Indian?) in the Hudson -Bay region.</p> - -<p>An interesting case in these connections is that of Rudolf Virchow. -In 1877 (see details at the end of this section) he expresses the belief -in the Eskimo coming from Asia; in 1878 he seems to be uncertain; -and in 1885 he comes out in support of the opinion that the original -home of the Eskimo may have been in the western part of the Hudson -Bay region. Among later students of the problem, Steensby<a name="FNanchor_205_205" id="FNanchor_205_205"></a><a href="#Footnote_205_205" class="fnanchor">[205]</a> and -Birket-Smith<a name="FNanchor_206_206" id="FNanchor_206_206"></a><a href="#Footnote_206_206" class="fnanchor">[206]</a> incline on cultural grounds to this hypothesis.</p> - -<p>Wissler, not explicit as to the Eskimo in 1917 (The American Indian), -in 1918 (Archæology of the Polar Eskimo) finds, after -Steensby, the most acceptable theory of the Eskimo origin to be that -"they expanded from a parent group in the Arctic Archipelago"; -but in 1922, in the second edition of his The American Indian, he -repeats word for word his opinion of 1917, which appears to favor -an Asiatic derivation.</p> - -<p><em>Origin in Europe—Identity with Upper Palaeolithic man.</em>—About -the sixties of last century growing discoveries in France of implements, -etc., of later palaeolithic man brought about a realization that -not a few of these implements and other objects, particularly those -of the Magdalenian period, resembled like implements and objects -of the Eskimo; from which, together with the considerations of the -similarities of fauna (reindeer, musk-ox, etc.), and of climate, there -was but a step to a more or less definite identification of the Magdalenians -and Solutreans with the Eskimo. In 1870 Pruner-Bey<a name="FNanchor_207_207" id="FNanchor_207_207"></a><a href="#Footnote_207_207" class="fnanchor">[207]</a> -claims a similarity between Solutrean and Eskimo skulls. In 1883 -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_332" id="Page_332">[Pg 332]</a></span>these views received the influential support of De Mortillet (see -details). In 1889 the theory receives strong support from the characteristics -of the Chancelade (Magdalenian) skeleton which Testut -declares are in many respects almost identical with those of the -Eskimo. And within the next few years the notion is upheld by -Hamy and Hervé. It remains sympathetic as late as 1913 to Marcellin -Boule, and finds most recent champions in Morin and Sollas.</p> - -<p>However, there were also many who opposed the effort at a direct -connection of the upper palaeolithic man of Europe and the Eskimo. -Among these were Geikie, Flower, Rae, Daniel Wilson, Robert -Brown, Déchelette, Laloy. At present the theory is supported -mainly by Morin and Sollas, opposed by Steensby, Burkitt, Keith, -MacCurdy, and others; while most students of the Eskimo ignore -the question.</p> - -<p><em>Other hypotheses.</em>—Besides the preceding ideas which attribute -the origin of the Eskimo to Asia, or America, or old Europe, there -were also others that failed to receive a wider support; and there -were authors and students who remained undecided or were too -cautious to definitely formulate their beliefs. Some of the former -as well as the latter deserve brief mention.</p> - -<p>Gallatin, in 1836, mainly on linguistic grounds, recognizes the -fundamental relation of the Eskimo and the Indian and seems inclined -to the American origin of the former, but makes no clear statement -to that effect. For Meigs (1857), who probably followed an -earlier opinion, the Eskimo came "from the islands of the Polar -Sea." C. C. Abbott (1876) saw Eskimo in the early inhabitants of -the Delaware Valley. To Grote (1875, 1877), the Eskimo were "the -existing representatives of the man of the American glacial epoch"; -they were modified Pliocene men. Nordenskiöld (1885) follows -closely Meigs and Grote; the Eskimo may be "the true autochthones -of the Polar regions," having inhabited them from before the glacial -age, during more genial climate. Keane (1886) believed the Eskimo -developed from the Aleuts. For De Quatrefages (1887), man originated -in the Tertiary in northern Asia, spread from there, and some -of his contingents may have reached America and been the ancestors -of the Eskimo; the western tribes of the latter being a mixture of the -Eskimo with Asiatic brachycephals. Nansen (1893) avoids a discussion -of the origin of the Eskimo; and the same caution is observable -more or less in most modern writers.</p> - -<p>The following chart of the more noteworthy opinions regarding -the origin of the Eskimo will show at a glance the diversity of the -views and their lack of conclusiveness.</p> - -<div class="footnotes"><h4>FOOTNOTES:</h4> - -<div class="footnote"> - -<p><a name="Footnote_205_205" id="Footnote_205_205"></a><a href="#FNanchor_205_205"><span class="label">[205]</span></a> Contr.

To what race did he belong? -In solving this the zoological evidence is of great importance. The -reindeer and musk sheep now inhabit the northern part of the -American Continent and are the principal land animals that supply -the Esquimaux with food. The latter of these has departed from -the Asiatic Continent, leaving remains behind to prove that it shared -the higher northern latitudes of Asia with the reindeer, and this -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_348" id="Page_348">[Pg 348]</a></span>latter has retreated farther and farther north during the historical -period. May not the race that lived on these two animals in southern -Gaul have shared also in their northern retreat, and may it not be -living in company with them still? The truth of such a hypothesis -as this is found by an appeal to the weapons, implements, and -habits of life of the Esquimaux. The fowling spear, the harpoon, -the scrapers, the marrow spoons are the same in the ice huts of Melville -Sound as in the ancient dwellings of southern Gaul. In both -there is the same absence of pottery; in both bones are crushed in the -same way for the sake of the marrow, and accumulate in vast quantities. -The very fact of human remains being found among the relics -of the feast is explained by an appeal to what Captain Parry observed -in the island of Igloolik. Among the vast quantities of bones -of walruses and seals, and skulls of dogs and bears found in the Esquimaux -camp, were numbers of human skulls lying about among the -rest, which the natives tumbled into the collecting bags of the officers -without the least remorse. A similar carelessness for the dead was -also observed by Sir J. Ross and Captain Lyon. This presence, then, -of human remains in the south of Gaul is another link binding the -ancient people then living there to the Esquimaux. Their small size -also is additional evidence.</p> - -<p>"The only inference that can be drawn from these premises is -that the people in question were decidedly Esquimaux, related to -them precisely in the same way as the reindeer and musk sheep of -those days were to those now living in the high North American -latitudes. The sole point of difference is the possession of the dog -by the latter people, but in the vast lapse of time between the date -of their sojourn in Europe and the present day the dog might very -well have been adopted from some other superior race, or even reduced -under the rule of man from some wild progenitor. By this -discovery a new people is added to those which formerly dwelt in -Europe. The severity of the climate in southern Gaul is proved by -the northern animals above mentioned. As it became warmer musk -sheep, reindeer, and Esquimaux would retreat farther and farther -north until they found a resting place on the American shore of the -great Arctic Sea. Possibly in the case of the Esquimaux the immigration -of other and better-armed tribes might be a means of accelerating -this movement."</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>Hamy, 1870:<a name="FNanchor_255_255" id="FNanchor_255_255"></a><a href="#Footnote_255_255" class="fnanchor">[255]</a> "Il nous parait, comme à MM. de Quatrefages, Carter-Blake, -Le Hon, etc., que les caractères anatomiques des races de -Furfooz et de Cro-Magnon doivent leur faire prendre place dans le -groupe hyperboréen."</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_349" id="Page_349">[Pg 349]</a></span></p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>Dawkins, 1874<a name="FNanchor_256_256" id="FNanchor_256_256"></a><a href="#Footnote_256_256" class="fnanchor">[256]</a>: In 1866, Boyd Dawkins, on the basis of the resemblances -between the implements of the Eskimo and those of the -later prehistoric man of Europe, advances the idea that the Eskimo -were close kin to the palaeolithic man of Europe, before the scientific -forum.

From whatever side the problem has -been approached, whether linguistically, culturally, from the study -of myths, or even somatologically, the materials were, it is plain, -more or less inadequate and there was not enough for satisfactory -comparisons. The best contributions to Eskimo studies, from the -oldest to the most recent, all accentuate the need for further research, -and more ample collections.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_356" id="Page_356">[Pg 356]</a></span></p> - -<p>Another point is that heterogeneous and wide apart as many of the -opinions may seem, yet when the subject is looked upon with a -larger perspective they may often perhaps be harmonized. Thus a -belief in an American origin of the Eskimo need not exclude that in -the Asiatic derivation of his parental stock. Even in the case of the -supposed European derivation the Eskimo are understood to have -reached America through Asia; there is not one suggestion of any -importance advocating the coming of the Eskimo over northwestern -Europe and Iceland. Only the Meigs-Grote-Nordenskiöld theory of -an ancient polar race and its descent southward appears now as -beyond the bounds of what would be at least partly justifiable.</p> - -<p>What is the contribution to the subject of the studies reported in -this treatise, with its relatively great amount of somatological material? -The answer is not easy.</p> - -<p>Even the truly great and precious material at hand is not sufficient. -There are important parts of the Arctic, such as the Hudson Bay -region, Baffin Land, and the central region; several parts of the west -coast, such as the inland waters of the Seward Peninsula and the -Eskimo portions of the Selawik, Kobuk, Noatak, and Yukon Rivers; -and above all the Eskimo part of northeastern Siberia, from which -there are insufficient or no collections. There is, moreover, especially -in this country, a great want of skeletal material from the -non-Eskimo Siberian tribes, and also from the old European peoples that are -of most importance for comparisons. It must be plain, therefore, -that even at present no final deductions are possible. All that can -be claimed for the evidence here brought forth is that it clears, or -tends to settle, certain secondary problems, and that it presents indications -of value for the rest of the question.</p> - -<p>The secondary problems that may herewith be regarded as settled -are as follows:</p> - -<p>1. <em>Unity or plurality of the race.</em>—The materials at hand give no -substantiation to the possibility of the Eskimo belonging to more than -one basic strain of people. They range in color from tan or light -reddish-yellow to medium brown; in stature from decidedly short -to above the general human medium; in head from brachycephalic -and low to extremely dolichocephalic, high and keel shaped; in eyes -from horizontal to decidedly mongoloid; in orbits from microseme -to hypermegaseme; in nose from fully mesorrhinic to extremely -leptorrhinic; in physiognomy from pure "Indian" to extreme -"Eskimo." Yet all through there runs, both in the living and in -the skeletal remains, so much of a basic identity that no separation -into any distinct original "races" is possible. At most it is permissible -to speak of a few prevalent types.</p> - -<p>2. <em>Relation.</em>—The general basic prototype of the Eskimo, according -to all evidence, is so closely akin to that of the Indian that the two<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_357" id="Page_357">[Pg 357]</a></span> -can not be fully separated. They appear only as the thumb and the -digits of the same hand, some large old mother stock from which -both gradually differentiated. This appears to be an unavoidable -conclusion from the present anthropological knowledge of the two -peoples.</p> - -<p>The next unavoidable deduction is that the mother stock of both -the Eskimo and the Indian can only be identified with the great -yellow-brown stem of man, the home of which was in Asia, but the -roots of which, as has been discussed elsewhere, were probably in -ancient (later paleolithic) Europe.<a name="FNanchor_283_283" id="FNanchor_283_283"></a><a href="#Footnote_283_283" class="fnanchor">[283]</a> The latter fact may explain the -cultural as well as somatological resemblances between the Eskimo, -as well as the Indian (for the Indian, physically at least, has much -in common with the upper Aurignacians), and the upper glacial -European populations. But such an explanation can not in the -light of present knowledge legitimately be extended to the assumption -that either the Indian complex or the Eskimo originated as -such in Europe; they could be at most but parts of the eventual more -or less further differentiated Asiatic progeny of the upper paleolithic -Europeans.</p> - -<p>3. <em>Mixture.</em>—It has been assumed by Boas and others that the -eastern Eskimo have become admixed with the eastern Indian and -the western with the Alaskan Indian, that the physical and especially -craniological differences between the eastern and western Eskimo were -due to such a mixture, and that both extremes deviated from the type -of the pure Eskimo, who was to be found somewhere in the central -Arctic. The evidence of the present studies does not sustain such an -assumption.</p> - -<p>As shown before<a name="FNanchor_284_284" id="FNanchor_284_284"></a><a href="#Footnote_284_284" class="fnanchor">[284]</a> and is seen more clearly from the present data, -the western Eskimo type is also present or approached in various -localities in the far north (part of Smith Sound, Southampton -Island, part of the Hudson Bay coast, with probable spots in the -central Arctic proper). There is no indication of any central region -where the western Eskimo type would be much "purer" than -elsewhere.</p> - -<p>Individual skulls and skeletons in the west, particularly in certain -spots (especially on Seward Peninsula), show the same characteristics -as the most diverging skulls or skeletons in the farthest -northeast.</p> - -<p>And both in the west and in the east the most pronounced Eskimo -characteristics exceed similar features in the Indian, indicating independent -development. Such characteristics involve the stature -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_358" id="Page_358">[Pg 358]</a></span>(taller in the west, shorter in the east than that of the Indian); the -size of the head (everywhere averaging higher in the Eskimo); -dolichocephaly, height of the head, its keel shape (all more pronounced -in the eastern and now and then a western Eskimo than in -any Indian group); the face, nose, orbits, and lower jaw; with the -relative proportions and other characteristics of the skeleton. All -these point to functional and other developments within the Eskimo -groups and none suggest a large Indian admixture.</p> - -<p>It is well known that more or less blood mixture takes place among -all neighboring peoples where contact is possible, even if otherwise -there be much enmity. Such enmity, often in an extreme form, existed -everywhere it seems between the Eskimo and the Indian, as a -result of the encroaching of the former on the latter; there are many -statements to that effect. Within historic times also there are no -records of any adoptions or intermarriages between the two peoples. -Nevertheless where contact took place, as on the rivers and in the -southwest as well as the southeast of the Eskimo territory, some blood -mixture, it would seem, must have developed. The Indian neighbors -show it, and it would be strange if it remained one-sided. But of a -mixture extensive enough to have materially modified the type of -the Eskimo in whole large regions, such as the entire Bering Sea and -most of the far northeast, there is no evidence and little not only -probability but even possibility. Nothing approaching such an extensive -mixture is shown by the near-by Indians; and it would be -most exceptional in people of this nature if a much greater proportion -of the mixture was into the Eskimo.</p> - -<p>Finally, a mixture of diverse human types, unless very old, may be -expected to leave numerous physical signs of heterogeneity and -disturbance, none of which is shown by either the western or eastern -Eskimo. Such groups as that of the St. Lawrence Island, or that -of Greenland, are among the most homogeneous human groups -known. The range of variation of their characters is as a rule a -strictly normal range, giving a uniform curve of distribution, which -is not consistent with the notion of any relatively recent material -mixture.</p> - -<p>4. <em>The indications.</em>—The indications of the data and observations -presented in this volume may be outlined as follows:</p> - -<p>The Eskimo throughout their territory are but one and the same -broad strain of people. This strain is fundamentally related to that -(or those) of the American Indian. It is also uncontestably related -to the yellow-brown strains of Asia.</p> - -<p>In many respects, such as pigmentation, build of the body, physiognomy, -large brain, fullness of forehead, fullness of the fronto-sphenotemporal -region, largeness of face and lower jaw, height of the nose,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_359" id="Page_359">[Pg 359]</a></span> -size and characteristics of the teeth,<a name="FNanchor_285_285" id="FNanchor_285_285"></a><a href="#Footnote_285_285" class="fnanchor">[285]</a> smallness of hands and feet, -etc., the Eskimos are remarkably alike over their whole territory. -They differ in details, such as stature, form of the head, and breadth -of the nose. But the distribution of these differences is of much -interest and probably significance. Higher statures, broader heads, -and broader noses are found especially in the west, the latter two -particularly in the Bering Sea region; low group statures, narrow -heads and narrow noses reach, with few exceptions, their extremes -in the northeast. Between the two extremes, however, there is no -interruption, but a gradation, with here and there an irregularity. -These conditions speak not of mixture but rather of adaptation and -differentiation.</p> - -<p>They strongly suggest a moderate stream of people, rooted in Asia, -of fairly broad and but moderately high head, of a good medium -stature, with a mesorrhinic nose (and hence probably originally not -far northern), and with many other characteristics in common, reaching -America from northeasternmost Asia after the related Indians, -spreading along the seacoasts as far as it could, not of choice, or choice -alone, but mainly because of the blocking by the Indian of the roads -toward the south and through the interior; and gradually modifying -physically in adaptation to the new conditions and necessities; to -climate, newer modes of life, the demands of the kayak, and above -all to the results of the increased demands on the masticatory organs.</p> - -<p>The narrowness, increased length and increased height of the -Eskimo skull, without change in its size or other characteristics, may -readily be understood as compensatory adaptations, the development -of which was initiated and furthered by the development and -mechanical effects of the muscles of mastication.</p> - -<p>A similar conclusion has been reached in my former study on the -central and Smith Sound Eskimo (1910). It has been approached -or reached independently by other students of the Eskimo, notably -Fürst and Hansen (1915) in their great work on the East Greenlanders. -It is a conclusion of much biological importance for it -involves not merely the development but also the eventual inheritance -of new characters.</p> - -<p>Former authors, it was seen, have advanced the theories of an -American origin of the Eskimo. This could only mean that he -developed from the American Indian. And such a development -would imply physical and hereditary changes at least as great as -those indicated in the preceding paragraphs, and in less time. A -differentiation commenced well back in Asia, geographically and -chronologically, and advancing, to its present limits, in America -would seem the more probable.</p> -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_360" id="Page_360">[Pg 360]</a></span></p> -<p>An origin of the Eskimo in Europe, during the last glacial invasion, -would not only push into the hazy far past the same changes as -here dealt with, but it would at the same time fail to explain the -physical differences within the Eskimo group, and deny any substantial -changes in him during the long time of his migration -toward the American northern coasts.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 700px;"> -<img src="images/figure_29a.jpg" width="700" height="582" alt="" /> -<div class="caption"><p><span class="smcap">Figure 29.</span>—Probable movements of people from northeastern Asia to Alaska and in -Alaska. (A. Hrdlička)</p></div> -</div> - -<p>Absolute proofs of the origin of the Eskimo, as of that of the -various strains of the Indians, are hardly to be expected. Such origins -are so gradual and insidious that they would escape detection -even if watched for while occurring; they are noticed only after sufficient -differences have developed and become established, which takes -generations. The solving of racial origins must depend on sound -scientific induction.</p> - -<p>Such induction may not yet be fully possible in the case of the -Eskimo. The evidence is not yet complete. But with the present -and other most recent data there is enough on hand for substantial -indications. The evidence shows that barring some irregularities, -due possibly to later intrusions or refluxes, the farther east in the -Eskimo territory the observer proceeds the more highly differentiated -and divergent the Eskimo becomes, and there is a greater gap<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_361" id="Page_361">[Pg 361]</a></span> -between him and his Indian neighbors, as well as other races. -Proceeding from the east westward, conditions are reversed. In -general the farther west we proceed the less exceptional on the -whole the Eskimo becomes and the more he approximates the Indian, -particularly the Indian of Alaska and the northwest coast. As this -can not, in the light of present evidence, be attributed alone to mixture, -it is plain that if it were possible to proceed a few steps farther -in this direction the differences between the Eskimo and the Indian -would fade out so that a distinction between the two would become -difficult if not impossible.</p> - -<p>The facts point, therefore, to an original identity of the source -from which were derived the Indian, more particularly his latest -branches, and the Eskimo, and to the identification of this source with -the palaeo-Asiatic yellow-brown people of lower northern Asia. The -differentiation of the Eskimo from this source must have proceeded -over a fairly long time, and probably started already it would seem -on the northern coasts of Asia, where conditions were present capable -of beginning to shape him into an Eskimo; to be carried on since in -the Bering Sea area and especially in the Seward Peninsula and -farther northward and eastward. In a larger sense the cradle of -the Eskimo, therefore, while starting probably in northeast Asia, -covered in reality a much vaster region, extending from northern -Asia and the Bering Sea to the far American Arctic.</p> - -<div class="footnotes"><h5>FOOTNOTES:</h5> - -<div class="footnote"> - -<p><a name="Footnote_283_283" id="Footnote_283_283"></a><a href="#FNanchor_283_283"><span class="label">[283]</span></a> Hrdlička, A., The Peopling of Asia.

In large lines this may be outlined as follows:</p> - -<p>1. The western Eskimo occupied, uninterrupted by other people -(save in a few spots by the Aleuts), the great stretch of the Alaskan -coast from Prince William Sound and parts of the Unalaska Peninsula -to Point Barrow, all the islands in the Bering Sea except the -Aleutians and Pribilovs, and the northern and western coasts of -the Chukchi Peninsula in Asia.</p> - -<p>They extended some distance inland along the Kuskokwim and -Yukon Rivers; along the interior lakes and rivers of the Seward -Peninsula; along a part of the Selawik River, most (perhaps) of the -Kobuk River, and apparently along the whole Noatak River, communicating -over the land with the lower Colville Basin. But no -traces of original Eskimo settlements have ever been found in the -true Alaska inland or along those parts of the Alaska rivers that -constitute the Indian territory.</p> - -<p>2. The present population is sparse, with many unpeopled intervals, -and not highly fecund, but, except when epidemics strike, it<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_362" id="Page_362">[Pg 362]</a></span> -no more diminishes; children and young people are now much in -evidence, hygienic and economic conditions have improved, and the -people in general are well advanced in civilization. Their condition -and morale are rather superior, in places very perceptibly so, to -those of the majority of the Alaska Indians.</p> - -<p>3. Except where there has been more contact with whites, a -large percentage of these Eskimo are still full bloods. They are a -sturdy, cheerful, and liberal yet shrewd lot. They intermarry and -mix not inconsiderably among themselves (between villages). Some -of the white traders have married Eskimo women and raised promising -families. Where larger numbers of whites were or are in proximity -clandestine mixture is apparent. The better educated show -often decidedly good mental, mechanical, business, and artistic abilities. -In the isolated localities, such as St. Lawrence Island, the -people have apparently escaped the period of demoralization that so -often attends the passing from the old to new conditions.</p> - -<p>Tuberculosis and venereal diseases are present but not prevalent; -rachitis seems absent. The people show much endurance, but longevity -as yet is not much in evidence. Alcoholism is almost nonexistent -except on occasions when drink is provided by whites.</p> - -<p>4. The region of the western Eskimo shows a former larger population -of the same people. This is attested by many "dead" villages -and old sites. And this population evidently goes back some centuries -at least, for some of the remains are extensive and both their -depth and their contents give the impression of prolonged duration; -though seemingly all thus far seen could be comprised within the -Christian era.</p> - -<p>5. No habitations or remains belonging to a distinct people (Indians) -have thus far come to light anywhere within the territory -of the western Eskimo; and no trace has as yet been found of -anything human that could be attributed to greater antiquity than -that of the Eskimo. But the older beaches and banks where such -remains might have existed have either been covered with storm-driven -sands and are now perpetually frozen, or they have been -"cut" away and lost; and there seems no hope for finding such remains -in the interior away from the sea or streams, for such parts -were never under recent geological conditions favorable for human -habitation.</p> - -<p>6. The now known remains consist of the ruins of dwellings and -of accumulated refuse, the two together forming occasionally marked -elevated heaps or ridges. Some of these ridges are over 18 feet deep. -They contain many archeological specimens of stone, ivory, wood, and -bone. The ivory in the older layers is more or less "fossilized." The -upper layers of such remains usually contain some articles of white<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_363" id="Page_363">[Pg 363]</a></span> -man's manufacture (copper, iron, beads); lower layers are wholly -aboriginal. Indian artifacts occur in Eskimo sites only in the -proximity of the Indian on the rivers.</p> - -<p>7. The prevalent or later culture shown by the remains is fairly -rich, of good to relatively rather high grade, and of considerable uniformity. -There are numerous indications of extensive trade in -various articles, particularly those of the Kobuk "jade."</p> - -<p>8. On the Asiatic coast, in the northern parts of the Bering Sea, -on the Seward Peninsula, in the Kotzebue region and at Point Hope, -the deeper portions of the remains give examples of the higher -and richer "fossil ivory culture." This is distinguished by many -objects of high-class workmanship, and by curvilinear to scroll designs. -The art appears to have distinct affinities with, on one hand, -deeper Asia, and on the other with the northwest coast of America -and even farther south. It is not clearly separated from either the -contemporaneous or the later Eskimo art, yet it is of a higher grade -and delicacy and much distinctiveness. It is not yet known where -this art begins geographically, what preceded it, whence it was -derived, just how far it reached along the coasts, or even what was -its main center. It seems best for the present to reserve to it the -name of the "fossil ivory art" (rather than Jenness's too limiting -"Bering Sea culture"), and to defer all conclusions concerning it to -the future.</p> - -<p>9. It seems justifiable, however, to point to the significance of what -is already known. This "fossil ivory art" especially, but also the -general culture of the western Eskimo, are highly developed and -differentiated cultures, denoting considerable cultural background, -extended duration, and conditions generally favorable to industrial -and artistic developments. It has, it is already ascertained, certain -affinities in Asia. If this art and the attending culture were -advancing toward America, as seems most probable, then the question -of cultural influences and introductions from Asia to America -will have to be reopened.</p> - -<p>10. Due to the perpetually frozen ground and the consequent -necessity of surface burials, the area of the western Eskimo was, -until recently, relatively rich in skeletal remains lying on the surface. -It is no more so now, due to storms, beasts, missionaries, -teachers, and scientific collectors. But while only a scattering remains -of the surface material, there is much and that of special -importance lying in the ground, mostly self-buried or assimilated by -the tundra. This material, which now and then is accompanied by -interesting archeological specimens, calls for prompt attention; it -will help greatly in clearing local and other problems.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_364" id="Page_364">[Pg 364]</a></span></p> - -<p>Occasionally burials were made or dead bodies were left in old -houses. These remains, too, may prove of special value.</p> - -<p>11. Observations on both the living and the skeletal remains in -the western Eskimo area, supplemented by those on the northern -and northeastern Eskimo, are now ample enough to justify certain -generalizations. These are:</p> - -<p><em>a.</em> Barring the Aleuts, who are Indian, the Eskimo throughout -belong somatologically to but one family, and this family appears -as a remarkably pure racial unit, somewhat admixed in the south -with the Aleut, on the western rivers with the Indian, and in the -east and a few spots elsewhere with recent white people.</p> - -<p><em>b.</em> Within this family there is observable a considerable cranial -change, with moderate differences in nasal breadth, stature, and -color, but the general characteristics of the physiognomy, and of the -body and the skeleton, remain remarkably similar.</p> - -<p><em>c.</em> The changes in the skull affect mainly the vault, which, in dimensions, -ranges through all the intermediary grades from moderately -broad, short, and moderately high to pronouncedly narrow, -long, and high, and in form from moderately convex over the top to -markedly keel shaped.</p> - -<p>The distribution of skull form is somewhat irregular, but in general -the broader and shorter heads predominate in the Asiatic and -the southwestern and midwestern American portions of the Eskimo -region, while the longest and narrowest heads are those of parts of -the Seward Peninsula, and especially those from an isolated old -settlement near Barrow with those of Greenland (exclusive of the -Smith Sound), Baffin Land, and, judging from other data, also eastern -Labrador. More or less transitional forms are found between -the two extremes, without there being anywhere a clear line of -demarcation.</p> - -<p>The breadth of the nose, too, averages highest in the Asiatic, Bering -Sea, and the more southern Eskimo of the Alaska coast, the least -along the northern Arctic coast and in the northeast. The stature -is highest along the western Alaska rivers and parts of the coast, -least in Greenland and Labrador.</p> - -<p>The skin, while differing within but moderate limits, is apparently -lightest along parts (at least) of the northern Arctic.</p> - -<p>12. The whole distribution of the physical characteristics among -the Eskimo strongly suggests gradual changes—within the family -itself; and as the long, narrow, high skull with keeled dome, occurring -in a few limited localities in the west but principally in southern -Greenland and neighboring territories, appears to be the farthest -limit of the differentiation which finds no parallel in the neighboring -or other peoples, while the form found in northeastern Asia, the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_365" id="Page_365">[Pg 365]</a></span> -Bering Sea, and southwestern Alaska is near to those of various surrounding -peoples, the inevitable resulting deduction is that, in the -light of our present knowledge, the origin of the Eskimo is to be -looked for in the western rather than the northern Arctic or the -northeastern area, and that particularly in the northern Bering Sea -and the adjacent, particularly perhaps the northern, Asiatic region. -The author is, therefore, led to regard the area between 160° west -and 160° east longitude and 60° to 75° north latitude as containing -the primal Eskimo-genic center, and as the source of the oldest -Eskimo or proto-Eskimo extensions, while the larger part of the -Eskimo differentiations is in all probability American.</p> - -<p>13. The earlier notions relating to the western Eskimo, namely, -those that would attribute his physical characteristics to a large -admixture with the Indian, are now untenable for the following -reasons:</p> - -<p><em>a.</em> The distribution of the western Eskimo traits and measurements -does not indicate any important heterogeneous mixture.</p> - -<p><em>b.</em> The groups most distant from the Indians, such as the St. -Lawrence or Diomede islanders and the Asiatic Eskimo, show very -nearly the same somatological characteristics as the rest of the -southwestern and midwestern groups.</p> - -<p><em>c.</em> Among the western Eskimo there are no data, no traditions, and -no linguistic or cultural evidence of any considerable Indian -admixture.</p> - -<p><em>d.</em> The western contingents of the family do not represent a physical -resultant or means of the more narrow and long-headed type -with the neighboring Indians of Alaska (or elsewhere in the north), -but they equal or even exceed the Indians in the principal features of -the skull, face, and in other particulars.</p> - -<p>14. The nearest physical relatives of the Eskimo are evidently some -of the Chukchi, with probably some other north Asiatic groups; their -nearest basic relatives in general are, according to many indications, -the American Indians. The two families, Indian and Eskimo, -appear much, it may be repeated, like the thumb and fingers of one -and the same hand, the hand being the large, original palaeo-Asiatic -source of both. But the Eskimo are evidently a younger, smaller and -still a more uniform member; which speaks strongly for their later -origin, migration and internal differentiation.</p> - -<p>15. With his numbers, purity of blood, approachability, present -facilities of language, many of the young speaking good English, -and other favorable conditions, the Eskimo offers to anthropology -one of its best opportunities for a thorough study of an important -human group, adapted to highly exceptional natural conditions. His -food, mode of life, the climate, and isolation, give promise of inter<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_366" id="Page_366">[Pg 366]</a></span>esting -conditions of the internal organs, perhaps even blood, and of -physiological as well as chemical and pathological peculiarities. This -opportunity, together with the excellent and important opportunities -for archeology in the Bering Sea and neighboring regions, should be -utilized to the possible limit within the present generation, for the -western Eskimo, on one hand, is rapidly becoming civilized, changing -his food, clothing, housing, and habits; is also becoming more mixed -with whites; and is most assiduously exploiting the archeological -sites in his region for the sake of the income that comes to him from -the ever-rising demand for beads, etc., and from "fossil" ivory.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_367" id="Page_367">[Pg 367]</a></span></p> -<div class="chapter"></div> -<hr class="chap" /> - - - - -<h2>BIBLIOGRAPHY</h2> - - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p><span class="smcap">Abbes, H.</span> Die Eskimos des Cumberland-Sundes.
