204 ANTHROPOLOGICAL SURVEY IN ALASKA [bth. ANN. 46 



156a. Chilvvik. — A village, now long dead, shown on the general 

 map of Zagoskin. 



157. Fish camps. (A. H.) 



Kotzebue Sound, Its Rivers axd Its Coast Northward to Kevalina 



Figure 24 shows the village sites that it was possible to locate in 

 these regions. Nearly all these are now " dead villages," though some 

 Eskimo may still occasionally camp in their vicinity. A large 

 present settlement of the Eskimo, well advanced toward civilization, 

 is found at Kotzebue, and fish camps extend from here along the 

 shore in the direction of Cape Blossom. Another important recent 

 living village and school center is Noorvik on the lower Kobuk 

 River. 



Inquiries as to old sites in this region were greatly assisted by Mr. 

 Sylvester Chance, at the time of my visit the supervisor of the Gov- 

 ernment schools of the district. At my request and with the aid 

 of the natives Mr. Chance has compiled a list of such sites and 

 settlements as could still be remembered, and the information has 

 been incorporated into these records. 



Among the more important ruins of this vicinity are apparently 

 those at and near Cape Krusenstern, and again those near Kevalina 

 farther to the northward. Archeological specimens of considerable 

 interest were seen and partly secured from both localities. The old 

 Kevalina especially should receive early attention, for it is being 

 excavated by the Eskimo of the present village, though fortunately 

 this is at some distance.
