Digging on the Edge of Never Never Land (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Spring swept across the ocean-side tundra at Nunalleq, a 400-year-old archaeological site just outside Alaska’s Yup’ik-speaking village of Quinhagak. In three lightning-fast weeks, the ochre-colored landscape passed through pale flecks of green and into emerald. The first week was still patched with snow, the second bubbled with pink louseworts.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!C-Vk!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsu

Read excerpt
Nunalleq, “Old Village,” is an archaeological site near Quinhagak, Alaska, possibly inhabited from around 1300 to 1650 C.E. It is the world’s largest pre-contact Yu’pik site. There are at least 34,000 Yup’ik people in Alaska, many living in villages like Quinhagak. They have thrived for thousands of years in a huge, watery landscape, a demanding environment which is also bountiful for those who understand it. But their cultural heritage is at risk from sea level rise and melting permafrost.Accor
