This week on Outdoor Explorer, we’ll be traveling to Kodiak Island to talk to Patrick Saltonstall. Patrick first came to Alaska from New England in 1985 to work on an archaeological dig on Kodiak Island as a college freshman. Over the following years, he kept returning to Kodiak for more archaeological digs, and eventually became the curator of archaeology at the Alutiiq Museum in Kodiak. We’ll be discussing the archaeology of Kodiak and Afognak Islands, the Alutiiq people who have inhabited the islands for thousands of years, and Patrick’s adventures roaming the islands to discover and document the archaeology of the Kodiak Archipelago.
