Taiy Tsadlh (Six Mile Hill) Site Evaluations

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Posters on the Archaeology of the Southern Yukon-Alaska Borderlands" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Taiy Tsadlh or Six Mile Hill has been used since prehistoric times for a variety of activities, ranging from recreation, a military fuel terminal, ceremony, subsistence, and game spotting. Archaeological investigations have revealed six extensive prehistoric sites further documenting the rich history of the area. Lithic artifacts and tools, as well as faunal remains, have expanded our understanding of prehistoric hunting and gathering subsistence activities. Data derived from these sites regarding lithic raw material acquisition and trade, as well as lithic tool creation, maintenance, and use have contributed to broader patterns of landscape use in the area.
