Paleo- proxies in NW Alaska• Tree rings• Pollen• Beach ridges• Archaeological fauna

Ringed Seal- Natchiq
(Phoca hispida)
• Prefers fast ice• Sub-nivean lairs for birthing,
nursing• Shorter ice duration can
have impact on pup health, survival
Bearded Seal- Ugruk
(Erignathus barbatus)
• Prefers pack ice• Birthing, nursing on floes• Available only when pack
ice is accessible from land (spring or autumn)

Fauna as Ice Proxy• Ringed:Bearded seal ratio change
• Variability of ice extent/duration
• Chronological resolution on human scale

Ringed seal isotopes (Strathe 2007)
• Increase in δ15N: widening diet
• Decrease in δ13C: declining productivity
• Productivity tied to timing, extent of sea ice

Summary• Archaeological fauna as paleo-ice proxy
• Provide long term info on human scale and dimension
• Test hypotheses of cultural interaction
• Lessons of adaptation and resiliency- challenges and possibilities
