Ancient Eskimo culture unearthed in Alaska by Smithsonian
Henry B. Collins Jr. reports discovery of thousands of ivory bone and wooden artifacts buried in a frozen mesa on St. Lawrence Island. The site reveals a rich ancient Eskimo culture predating Canada Greenland finds with ornate but now unfamiliar uses. The mesa preserved layers show a long-dead village, with hints the home of Eskimo origin lies in western Alaska or northeast Siberia. Modern Eskimo art appears degenerated in comparison to the ancient craft, possibly tied to the advent of iron.
