Stone Fishing Lure, Hot Springs Village, Port Moller, Alaska CAT# HHO1-SC.1 (HH-SC). Okada excavations reveal a wealth of information from House 1, specifically the Hot Springs 3 complex, dating back to 1300-1400 CE. The designation HHO signifies artifacts unearthed during the 1972 excavations at the Highland House, a distinct stratigraphic unit separate from the rest of the site. The massive village of Hot Springs, situated on the shore of Port Moller, boasts an impressive location on the Alaska Peninsula side of the southern Bering Sea. Over the past century, multiple excavation teams have contributed to its exploration. Notably, two main periods of occupation stand out: 2000 BCE-1000 BCE and 100 CE-800 CE. The Hot Springs artifacts are a testament to research conducted under grants NSF 0137756, NSF 1204020, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner spearheaded the project as Principal Investigator. Digitization of original materials took place at the IVL at Idaho State University, while subsequent processing was completed at Global Digital Heritage.
