NMNH hosted two other One of the objects from the exhibition, Yup’ik meluskarvik (“snuff box” or tobacco box) NMNH E048839. We learned how the Yup'ik avoid ermine and the importance of mink - how it was hunted and prepared for food. In fact, many of the artifacts on display were from Nelson's Yup'ik collections of 1877-1881.
He was followed by other Yup'ik participants who sang and performed the movements of the dance to the beat of drums.
RESEARCH
In addition to searching for fascinating photographs, perhaps Mongolia can reveal an important missing detail - the name of the author. After waiting for the snow to melt in the study areas and after receiving the. Most of the points in the Bilu area fall on the slopes and ridges of the hills.
I immediately contacted Ludger Müller-Wille, the first president of IASSA, and Noel Broadbent, the first director of the Arctic Social Science Program at NSF in the early 1990s. The Act was notable for the first known connection between the terms 'Arctic' and 'social sciences' and. The key players in the development of the new Arctic research agenda were the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Polar Research Board (PRB) in the U.S.
In the middle of the summer season, Ludger and I sent a proposal for the project to Joan Nymand Larsen, current IASSA president. The main issue for the JC-9 meeting was the assessment and further planning of the overview of the IPY 2007–2008. Based on the historical material in the Smithsonian Institution Archives, I found an explanation in the form of the public lectures and its narratives.
A Smithsonian Institution lecture series presented very different narratives about the Arctic—all about exploring and understanding nature, but for different reasons. In the Laponia World Heritage Area in Swedish Lapland, the goal is to protect reindeer husbandry and the cultural heritage of the Saami.
FIELDWORK
Under the paved floor at the south-east end of the house, we also found a 10-20 cm thick layer of pure charcoal. Similar conditions in the southern Gulf, where the largest part of the harp seal gulf population congregates, caused. Impact melt nodules of dark black glass were recovered from a discrete area on the summit plateau just below the high point seen here in the center of the photograph, June 2010.
A large nodule of obsidian-like impact melt from the summit of Mount Kameshtashtan, June 2010. Prote Poker with a Golden Eagle feather stuck on the summit plateau of Mount Kameshtashtan, June 2010. 2010 Fieldwork: On June 23, the most of the camp at Kameshtashtan left for the summit of the mountain.
There was a golden eagle on top of the mountain and I climbed up to examine his perch on the very highest boulders. About 150 km north of the Khushuut site, we visited a large Xiongnu burial site and the Tsenkheriin Aguii Cave. To get to the bigger picture, we are challenged to find the best way to process all data together.
OUTREACH
Later in the afternoon, ASC Director Bill Fitzhugh, ASC Curator Igor Krupnik and ASC Fellow Scott Heyes participated in a discussion called "Expeditions and Explorations: The Arctic Studies Center." The discussion included the history of the Arctic Studies Center and current events and activities. Hosted by Philip LoPiccolo of the Smithsonian's Office of Government Relations, the presentation was part of a film series offered at noon in the Capitol's new underground facilities as a way to familiarize Hill staff with the research and diverse collections of the Smithsonian Institution. The film reveals the central role that drumming and dance play “in bridging the gap between the old and the new, the living and the dead, and a person's own power and the greater forces of the unseen world.
We have agreed to establish a new corporation, apply for federal non-profit status, and build a new Northern Studies program in Vermont. The exact nature of the training is still being decided and will depend to some extent on the fate of the facilities in the old Center for Northern Studies. We believe that a vibrant and functioning Northern Studies program similar to what existed in the past could benefit the College, but at this time Sterling College does not appear to be interested in participating in the initiative.
As a result, the fate of the premises of the Center for Northern Studies is in an unclear situation. Whatever its physical configuration, the new incarnation of the Center for Northern Studies will re-establish the transdisciplinary educational approach of earlier times. We are happy to say that reports of the demise of the Center for Northern Studies are premature.
INTERNS
After almost two years of working at the Arctic Studies Centre, I am still constantly surprised and amazed by the quality and diversity of the projects I have been given the opportunity to work on here. For much of the first half of this year, I was focused on compiling, editing, and organizing material for publication in the 2009 American-Mongoolian Deer Stone Project Field Report. In late October, the Arctic Studies Center hosted three visiting scholars from Mongolia, including the director of the National Museum of Mongolia, and organized a workshop on current and future work in Mongolian Studies.
It was quite difficult for me at first; I have worked with projectile points but was not familiar with most of the artifact types in this collection. Loring suggested that we work with this collection because of the limited number of artifacts recovered. To pursue this goal, I have compiled a guide of the available literature on the movement and composition of the northern tree line in Jennifer Koester van.
I discovered that the composition of the forest at the tree line and the movement of the tree line is a product of a wide variety of factors, including climate change, sea levels, fire rate, forest composition, precipitation levels and soil quality. Loring on their first trip to the Museum Support Center, which was a great opportunity to see another area of the Smithsonian that is never open to the general public. As a precursor to the workshop, there was a reception at the Mongolian Embassy, where I met and chatted with several of the speakers and guests who are incredibly fascinating people.
BERGY BITS
The purpose of the trip was a tour of Greenland's southern coast, visiting fjords, glaciers, towns, cities and archaeological sites. From Maine to Greenland, as the two ends of the Maritime Far Northeast, we experience the same climatic manifestations of greater and more. And there are occasional flashes of the northern lights streaming and bending in the sky above.
However, the sky became cloudy over the following days, making many details of the village and the country less visible. There was an arrangement with Goggle Earth to monitor the movement of the sculptures at regular intervals. Additionally, respondents were encouraged to comment on climate change in their corner of the planet.
Located in the state of Maine, at the mouth of the Kennebec River, lies the city of Georgetown and the settlement of Bay Point, which barely holds any land. The English first settled this rock-lined inlet in 1607 as the Popham Colony. It was on the opposite bank, at the mouth of the Kennebec River, that a Viking fortress, the Snorri, was built and subsequently built by W.
TRANSITIONS
On one trip I thought I found the remains of ancient Ainu hoop houses on one of the Kuril Islands. Herb was born on July 16, 1945 in Wales, on the west end of the Seward Peninsula, where he was also raised and trained as a hunter by his elders. While he had to fight many battles, ultimately his record of achievement speaks for itself - he was one of the most prolific Arctic archaeologists of his generation.
He was one of the first to use formal methods to analyze domestic settlement patterns. During his time at Dartmouth, Elmer even did a small number of studies in the Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire, and was an interested member of the New Hampshire Archaeological Society. John asked him about his feelings on the matter, given the general opinion of the scientific community at the time that repatriation posed a threat to the archaeological community.
At the time, his enlightened attitude was a breath of fresh air and years ahead of the disciplinary norm. We shared a wonderful moment in history in Copenhagen on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Denmark's liberation from the Nazis. Henry Collins, an old friend and Dean of the Arctic Archaeologists, wrote an article for the commemorative edition of Polar Notes.
