The Wales Site is a well-documented archeological site on the Cape Prince of Wales, near Wales, Alaska. It is a pre contact site for the indigenous population which can help illuminate non-industrial whaling practices from the 9th century through the early 19th century. This site has artifacts from the Birnirk culture as well as the first discovery of the later Thule culture.
Roger Harritt of the University of Alaska, Anchorage has been doing extensive investigations for over 10 years onsite.
Famous quotes containing the words wales and/or site:
“I just come and talk to the plants, really—very important to talk to them, they respond I find.”
—Charles, Prince Of Wales (b. 1948)
“It is not menstrual blood per se which disturbs the imagination—unstanchable as that red flood may be—but rather the albumen in the blood, the uterine shreds, placental jellyfish of the female sea. This is the chthonian matrix from which we rose. We have an evolutionary revulsion from slime, our site of biologic origins. Every month, it is woman’s fate to face the abyss of time and being, the abyss which is herself.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
