The Nunalleq excavation is uncovering wonderful discoveries about the way of life of the ancestors of the  Quinhagak community.

The Nunalleq Project is now taking applications for the 2024 Field Season. The field season runs from June 17 – August 17, 2024.  Museum Lab placements will be available between June 17 – September 01, 2024. 

Melting permafrost and rising sea levels along the Bering Sea are major threats to this fascinating site. This year the University of Aberdeen, Université de Franche-Comté, and the Anchorage Museum will partner with the village corporation Qanirtuuq, Inc. and the Yup’ik village of Quinhagak on a large-scale archaeological project.

Apply now to be part of this exciting archaeological excavation and conservation lab on the Bering Sea coast of Alaska. Both field school students and volunteers are welcome.  Previous experience is helpful but not required. Find out more here, and click to follow the Nunalleq blog.
