Abstract:
In 2000, Cultural Heritage Studies of the University of Alaska Anchorage's Environment and Natural Resources Institute (ENRI) began mitigation of damage to an archeological site at the Tin City Long Range Radar Site near Wales, Alaska. The site, known as TEL-155, has been partially destroyed by natural erosion and illegal digging. This recovery effort was done under a cooperative agreement between ENRI and the U.S. Air Force, 611 Air Support Group, and the report embodies the results of the 2000 and 2002 field investigations. The agreement also addressed the need to conduct a baseline oral history of the Tin City area (conducted in July 2000 with three Wales elders).
