    Deering Archaeological Excavation
    Dr. Glenn Sheehan, Naval Arctic Research Laboratory Barrow, Alaska

    I will be working on an archaeological excavation currently underway in the village of Deering, Alaska. Deering is on the southern end of Kotzebue Sound, near the arctic circle. The site was discovered as workers attempted to install a sewer system. Artifacts from the Ipiutak culture dating back to 1000-1500 years ago have been uncovered.
