Kagamil Island

The average temperature of this region is approximately nine degrees celsius, and it is home to plenty of wildlife.

But today, these islands have no human populations living on them, however, there has been evidence that a pre-Aleutian civilization existed.

Archaeologists have created many excavation sites, and they found that these caves hide multiple mummies.

[5] With these bones, it appears that they stitched together fragments to create blad-like structures, which suggests that these early people lived in a hunter-gatherer society.

[5] Although their tools suggest that they may have lived a hunter-gatherer life, archaeologists have also found remains of permanent dwellings among the volcanic ash.

Scientists and archaeologists working on the Kagamil island have cooperated to try and identify these species from which these feathers came from.

[7] In addition, these specimens from the excavation site reveal that pre-Aleutian society not only used the feathers, but they also used bird skin for many purposes.

Using isotopic data to analyze the bone structures, scientists have discovered that the island had two different groups of inhabitants that used to live on this piece of land: the paleo-Aleut and the Neo-Aleut.

[8] Isotopic analysis from three excavation sites were analyzed, and the researchers found that the paleo and neo population differed greatly in their diet, likely due to the changes in environment over time.

With their more advanced tools, the neo population were able to gain access to higher trophic-level food compared to their paleo-counterparts.
