US Army National Guard Cultural Resources Planning Level Survey - Alaska

In May 1998, St. Louis District personnel visited the Alaska Army National Guard (AKARNG) Headquarters at Camp Carroll and the Alaska Office of History and Archaeology in Anchorage to review and document archaeological and historic buildings survey work conducted on federally owned or federally supported Army National Guard facilities in the state. This document reports the history of cultural investigations on AKARNG facilities, lists archaeological sites and historic standing structures recorded within facility boundaries, discusses historic contexts and predictive models, and provides a list of Alaskan Native Associations that may be culturally affiliated with archaeological collections recovered from AKARNG facilities. Six AKARNG training sites and 86 Scout Armories were researched for this PLS. Seven cultural resources, including archaeological sites and historic standing structures, have been recorded on Bethel, Juneau, Kotzebue, and Nome Local Training Areas. Of the 86 Scout Armories, 29 are located within a village in which the entire village has been assigned a site number. Two of these villages have been assigned two site numbers, bringing the total number of associated village sites to 31. No cultural resources have been recorded on Camp Carroll, Camp Denali, or in association with the 57 other Scout Armories. No cultural properties located on AKARNG facilities have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), but two Scout Armories are located in villages which are eligible as cultural properties for the NRHP. The extent, nature, and location of archaeological collections recovered from work conducted on AKARNG facilities will be determined in the second phase of this project, to be completed during Fiscal Year 1999.1998年5月，圣路易斯区工作人员造访位于卡罗尔营的阿拉斯加州陆军国民警卫队（Alaska Army National Guard, AKARNG）总部，以及安克雷奇的阿拉斯加历史与考古办公室，以审核并记录该州境内联邦所有或联邦资助的陆军国民警卫队设施上开展的考古与历史建筑勘测工作。本报告梳理了阿拉斯加州陆军国民警卫队设施相关文化调查的沿革，罗列了设施管辖范围内已建档的考古遗址与现存历史建筑，探讨了历史背景与预测模型，并列出了可能与从该类设施中出土的考古藏品存在文化关联的阿拉斯加原住民协会。本次PLS研究覆盖了7处阿拉斯加州陆军国民警卫队训练场地与86座侦察兵军械库。在贝瑟尔、朱诺、科策布及诺姆本地训练区内，已记录有7处文化资源，涵盖考古遗址与现存历史建筑。在86座侦察兵军械库中，29座坐落于某村庄范围内，该村庄整体已被赋予遗址编号；其中2个村庄各被分配2个遗址编号，相关联的村庄遗址总数达31处。卡罗尔营、迪纳利营，以及其余57座侦察兵军械库均未发现文化资源记录。阿拉斯加州陆军国民警卫队设施内的文化遗产尚未被纳入国家史迹名录（National Register of Historic Places, NRHP），但有2座侦察兵军械库所在的村庄具备国家史迹名录的文化遗产申报资格。本次项目第二阶段（计划于1999财年完成），将明确从阿拉斯加州陆军国民警卫队设施相关工作中出土的考古藏品的覆盖范围、属性与出土地点。
