Abstract
In a recent summary of our knowledge of Eskimo archaeology in Siberia (Chard 1955b) the present writer cited a reference to the existence of remains of underground houses on the west side of Anadyr Gulf, and inferred from this a possible extension of prehistoric Eskimo culture in this area considerably to the west of its presently known range. One of these rumored sites has now been investigated, with highly interesting results (Okladnikov and Naryshkin 1955). The culture revealed was not the classic Eskimo found at all other coastal sites around the Chukchi Peninsula, but instead is a blend of Eskimo with a distinctly different complex whose affinities lie far to the south on the shores of the Okhotsk Sea.
