A sprawling village situated on the picturesque shore of Port Moller, the Alaska Peninsula side of the southern Bering Sea, boasts a rich history dating back thousands of years. Over the past century, numerous excavation teams have carefully unearthed its secrets, shedding light on the lives of its ancient inhabitants. Two distinct periods of occupation stand out: one spanning from 2000 BCE to 1000 BCE, and another from 100 CE to 800 CE. The Hot Springs artifacts are a testament to the tireless efforts of researchers who conducted their work under the auspices of grants NSF 0137756, NSF 1204020, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. Dr. H. Maschner, Principal Investigator, spearheaded this groundbreaking research project. The original digitization of artifacts was carried out at the IVL at Idaho State University, while subsequent processing took place at Global Digital Heritage.
