The earliest Arctic settlements
13 September 2012
Interview with
Kate Britton, University of Aberdeen
Kate Britton at the University of Aberdeen, has been investigating an abandoned Arctic settlement in West Alaska called Nunalek, which was active from 1350 to 1650 AD.
Britton and her colleagues found thousands of man-made artefacts from this abandoned settlement that were preserved in the permafrost.
Now because of climate change the permafrost is melting, releasing the settlement for archaeologists to study.
