Friends and Sponsors


A large number of organizations and individuals contributed to the success of the Castle Hill Archaeological Project: A strategy to conserve the Castle Hill artifacts has been developed through the collaboration of OHA with the Alaska State Museum (Brooke Bowman, conservator) and Texas A&M University's Archaeological Preservation Research Laboratory (Dr. C. Wayne Smith, APRL Director). To the innumerable individuals from all of the above organizations who contributed their time and efforts, and to those inadvertently left out, we express our wholehearted thanks.
