    Archaeologists from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Northern Land Use Research Alaska, and area tribal councils encountered a birch bark-lined cache at a known Dene site along Upper Cook Inlet in June of 2024. Cache pits are similar to root cellars and were used to preserve fish, meat, and berries. Initial radiocarbon dating revealed that the cache was used around 1,000 years ago. (Courtesy Photo)
