Museum Begins Study of Alutiiq Rock Art Sites - Alaska Native News

Museum Begins Study of Alutiiq Rock Art Sites

With a $42,000 grant from the US Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Sun’aq Tribe of Kodiak and the Alutiiq Museum are collaborating on a study of ancestral Alutiiq rock art. The project, which started in January, is helping museum archaeologists study areas with known or suspected petroglyphs. Petroglyphs, or rock carvings, are a traditional form of artwork created by Alutiiq ancestors as much as 1000 years ago. They are known from about fifteen areas in the Kodiak Archipelago.
“This project is a targeted effort to document little-known rock art sites,” said Alutiiq Museum Curator of Archaeology Patrick Saltonstall. “While the Cape Alitak petroglyphs are the largest and best known examples of Alutiiq rock art, there are a number of other places in the Kodiak region where people have reported carvings. We’ve been keeping a record of these reports and with grant support we are now be able to visit the sites to do some investigation.”
