“…A number of radiocarbon determinations have been made for the Anangula Blade site, and according to William Laughlin the dates "showed that the people had lived there for about 1,500 years, between 7,200 and 8,700 years ago" (Laughlin 1980: 65). Laughlin's interpretation of the radiocarbon dates has been challenged on a variety of grounds, and a much briefer interval of 500 years or less is a well-supported estimate (Aigner 1976;Black 1974;Dumond and Bland 1995;McCartney and Veltre 1996). Based on the relatively thin occupation layer and inconsistencies in the radiocarbon determination series, we also agree that the occupation was relatively brief and may be dated to approximately 9000 cal.…”

“…Norton assemblages are found in the Arctic from northwestern Alaska to the Alaskan Peninsula and are distinctive in showing increased sedentism and demographic growth over time (Dumond and Bland 1995;Nowak 1988). Norton people started settling in large villages along the Bering Sea coast and these communities were fairly complex, and there is evidence for warfare and men's houses (Okada et al 1982).…”

Novel technologies linked to women and men through identitydemarcated tasks and knowledge sets can potentially have differential and even long-term effects on each group. This study follows the trajectory of two significant imports into the coastal western Alaskan system, the firearm and the metal cook pot. These imports had different implications for coastal Yup'ik women and men, young and old. Over time the gun became an integral piece of a man's tool kit and one that had the potential to boost production and thus a man's access to status-building. However, these same tools had the potential to undermine the apprenticeship system of male authority. Likewise, the metal cook pot replaced the productive oversight and skill set of elder women's ceramic production but created paths of independence for younger Yup'ik women. These changes in technology destabilized relative balances of gender and age based status, security, and authority and fashioned new gender and age based social and economic opportunities and limitations.

Radiocarbon and the Old World Archaeology: Shaping a Chronological Framework

The inception of the radiocarbon dating method in 1949 was immediately supported by many archaeologists. In the following 2 decades, many important archaeological sites in the Old World were dated, marking the beginning of building a reliable chronological framework for prehistoric and early historic cultural complexes worldwide. The author presents an observation of some of the most important results in establishing a chronology for Old World archaeology, based on 14C dating performed in the last 50 yr. An extensive bibliography should help scholars to get acquainted with early summaries on archaeological chronologies based on 14C data and their evaluation, as well as with some recent examples of the application of 14C dating in Old World archaeology.
