From the northern part of Bristol Bay to Cape Romanzof a partial survey
of the coast was made in 1927 by Collins and Stewart (U. S. National
Museum Expedition). In these regions and on the Nunivak Island it
was possible to locate a series of villages some of which are still
"living," others in ruins. In the late seventies of the last century,
as stated before, the coast between Kuskokwim Bay and St. Michael
Island was visited and its villages recorded by Nelson. A detailed
archeological survey of this coast remains for the future. Doctor
Romig, formerly a medical missionary at Bethel, told me of a number of
old sites on the river. Some notes of interest by T. D. Stewart are
given in the details. Mr. F. W. Bundy, for a time my companion on the
_Bear_, told of an old site on the Kuskokwim. In March, 1927, H. W.
Averill, writing from Bethel, tells of a deep-lying old site on the
southern coast of the Kuskokwim Bay. (See details.) And later the same
year Father Philip I. Delon, of the Holy Cross Mission, sent in three
skulls from Kashunuk, in the Yukon delta, with information of much
additional material in that locality.
