The More You Look

Archaeology @ Hollembaek


Listen Later

Host, Roger Topp spent a day in June visiting the closest 2023 museum archaeology site to Fairbanks, a nine-year-old dig of an 8,000-year-old archaeological feature on the Hollembaek farm near Delta, Alaska, and one where the field crew had already spent several weeks that summer, with as many as ten staff, students, and volunteers rotating through the camp at one time. Seven archaeologists were on location at the time, including Blue, the camp dog, and excavating what might be the second oldest house feature in Interior Alaska. 

The More You Look is a production of the UA Museum of the North, on the campus of the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the ancestral lands of the Dena people of the lower Tanana River. UAMN illuminates the natural history and cultural heritage of Alaska and the North through collections, research, education, and partnerships, and by creating a singular museum experience that honors diverse knowledge and respect for the land and its peoples.
