QUINHAGAK, ALASKA — After ex-Typhoon Halong scoured the coast, residents and archaeologists are racing to rescue Yup’ik artifacts from the Nunalleq site—where up to ~60 feet of beach vanished in places and even a rare painted mask surfaced from the eroded shoreline.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong spared Quinhagak much of the home damage seen in other villages. But the storm caused massive beach erosion and upended the Nunalleq site, the world’s largest trove of pre-contact Yup’ik cultural treasures. www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

…hundreds of artifacts and brought them in so they can be preserved at the Nunalleq Museum here in the village for future generations. A big thanks also to the Anchorage Museum for funding my travel here to help with the rescue effort.

Per Rick Knecht on Facebook: “The Nunalleq site got hit hard by last weekend's typhoon, losing at least 60 feet to the sea. Much of this area hadn't been excavated yet and artifacts have been scattered for miles down the beach. Many thanks are due to the good people of Quinhagak who have recovered⬇️
