Primarily, the objectives of
the expedition are to deter
mine the time and direction
of human migrations into the
area and to survey the human,
plant, and animal populations.
A study of the economic status
of the Aleut has already been
started and will be continued
to determine the effects of
civilization upon the native
culture.
Tuesday the party left via
a Bob Reeves Aleutian Air
ways plane for Unalaska
where it will conduct > inten
sive field investigations until
fall.
Members of the expedition
have visited ail of the major
Aleutian Islands and most of
the smaller ones in past years.
Archaeological excavations
have been made at Agattu,
Adak, Atka, Umnak and
Unalaska.
Two years ago Mr. and Mrs.
Bank lived for 10 months in
the village of Atka while
studying the economy, social
structure and old beliefs t :
the people.
The Banks, including 7
months old Ted, III, intend to
continue their Alaskan re
search for the next few years.
They will probably move to
Kodiak Island next summer.
While here this week Bank
obtained soil samples from
stratigraphic profiles. This is
in preparation for future and
more intensive field investi
gations which will be con
ducted by the University of
Michigan.
In previous years the Office
of Naval Research, U. S.
Navy has assisted in financing
the expedition. This year the
party has no Navy contract.
