Anangula Archeological District
Anangula Archeological District, Archaeological site on Anangula Island, Aleutians West Census Area, United States.
The archaeological district contains two distinct sites positioned on a 1.5-mile-long island near Umnak Island's western coast.
The excavations in the 1960s revealed eight house structures and over 30,000 artifacts dating back to 6400 BCE.
The site documents early human settlements with stone tools and semi-subterranean houses built by maritime-focused Native Alaskan communities.
The location requires advance arrangements for visits due to its position on a remote Aleutian island with limited transportation options.
Twenty-four house depressions remain visible at the village site, protected beneath layers of volcanic ash from ancient eruptions.
