TheChugwater Site is a prehistoricarchaeological site on the banks of theTanana River nearMoose Creek, Alaska. The site covers more than 40 acres (16 ha) on a bluff overlooking the river, and consists of widely scatteredstone toolmaking debris, interspersed with other artifacts. The site was listed on theNational Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
The area was extensively sampled in 1982-83 by theUnited States Army Corps of Engineers, identifying a variety of stone tools and types of stone used in their manufacture. A more extensiveexcavation of the site took place in 1984, exposing a number of larger stone tools andprojectile heads, as well asmicroblades, which are usually attached to bone or wood handles. One projectile point found is of a style similar to those found at another Alaska site which has been dated back 10,000 years.[3]
