Gallagher Flint Station Archeological Site, Archaeological site in North Slope, Alaska, US.
The archaeological site sits on a gravel hill overlooking the Upper Sagavanirktok River Valley, featuring three distinct areas containing prehistoric stone tools and artifacts.
Discovered in 1970 during Trans-Alaska Pipeline construction, this site dated to 10,540 years before present marked the earliest human activity in Alaska at discovery time.
The stone tools and manufacturing techniques found at this location demonstrate the technological capabilities of early inhabitants who moved between Alaska and Siberia.

The site contains three separate localities with different time periods, including two hearths, bifacial blades, and a green chert drill bit from 650 BCE.
