Anangula Archeological District, Archaeological site on Anangula Island, Aleutians West Census Area, United States.

Anangula Archeological District is located on a 1.5-mile-long island near the western coast of Umnak Island in the Aleutians. The area contains two distinct sites with visible house depressions, stone artifacts, and layers of volcanic material.

The site has roots extending back to around 6400 BCE. Excavations conducted in the 1960s uncovered eight house structures and over 30,000 artifacts, revealing a long history of human occupation.

The site documents early human settlements with stone tools and semi-subterranean houses built by maritime-focused communities. The construction methods and tool types reveal how people adapted to life in the Aleutians.

Visits require advance planning and arrangements due to the remote island location with limited transportation options. Check local access requirements and permits before traveling to this site.

Excavations in the late 1960s uncovered all or part of eight semi-subterranean house remains, each roughly 3 by 5.5 metres and built for a single family. More than 30,000 artifacts came from the dig, some resembling nothing else found in North America at the time.
