An interdisciplinary research team conducted archaeological, geological, and biological investigations in the Islands of the Four Mountains, Alaska during the summer of 2014 as part of a three-year project to study long-term geological and ecological patterns and processes with respect to human settlement. Researchers investigated three archaeological sites on Chuginadak Island (SAM-0014, SAM-0016 and SAM-0047) and two archaeological sites on Carlisle Island (AMK-0003 and SAM-0034) as well as peat, tephra, and lava deposition on those islands. These investigations resulted in the delineation of archaeological sites, documentation of geological and cultural stratigraphy, excavation of house-pit features, visual characterization and sampling of potential lithic sources, and documentation of Unangan occupation in the Islands of the Four Mountains from roughly 3,800 years ago to Russian contact.

在烟山脚下：2014年四山群岛科学考察

一个跨学科研究小组于2014年夏季在阿拉斯加四山群岛进行了考古，地质和生物学调查，这是一个为期三年的项目的一部分，该项目旨在研究人类住区的长期地质和生态格局及过程。研究人员调查了Chuginadak岛上的三个考古遗址（SAM-0014，SAM-0016和SAM-0047）和卡莱尔岛上的两个考古遗址（AMK-0003和SAM-0034）以及这些岛上的泥炭，特非拉和熔岩沉积。这些调查导致了考古遗址的划定，地质和文化地层的记录，屋坑特征的挖掘，视觉特征以及潜在岩性源的采样，
