Ice Patch Archaeology in Alaska: 2000–10

In the past decade, ice patch archaeological research has been initiated in several areas of Alaska, including Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, the Amphitheater Mountains, Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, Denali National Park and Preserve, Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, Chugach National Forest, and Katmai National Park. Although still in its formative stages, this research demonstrates that high-altitude ice patches have been an important part of the annual subsistence cycles of Alaskan people for at least 4000 years. Researchers have found cultural materials at 13 Alaskan ice patches. Most artifacts recovered are related to caribou hunting; however, a growing body of evidence demonstrates that ice patches were the foci for a wide range of subsistence activities, such as hunting birds, harvesting berries, and snaring small mammals. Site interpretations are based on ethnographically documented cultural practices, animal behavior, alpine ecology and geology, and archaeological analyses.Au cours de la dernière décennie, des recherches archéologiques ont été entreprises dans plusieurs névés de l’Alaska, notamment dans les régions suivantes : Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, monts Amphitheater, Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, Denali National Park and Preserve, Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, Chugach National Forest et Katmai National Park. Bien que ces recherches en soient toujours au stade embryonnaire, elles ont déjà permis de constater que les névés en haute altitude ont joué un rôle important dans les cycles de subsistance annuels des peuples de l’Alaska pendant au moins 4 000 ans. Les chercheurs ont récupéré du matériel culturel dans 13 névés de l’Alaska. La plupart des artefacts qui ont été trouvés se rapportent à la chasse au caribou. Cependant, de plus en plus d’artefacts prouvent que les névés étaient le point de convergence d’une vaste gamme d’activités de subsistance, comme la chasse aux oiseaux, la récolte des petits fruits et le piégeage des petits mammifères. L’interprétation des sites s’appuie sur les pratiques culturelles documentées de manière ethnographique, sur le comportement animal, sur l’écologie et la géologie alpines ainsi que sur les analyses archéologiques

Increased hand washing reduces influenza virus surface contamination in Bangkok households, 2009–2010

Within a hand-washing clinical trial, we evaluated factors associated with fomite contamination in households with an influenza-infected child. Influenza virus RNA contamination was higher in households with low absolute humidity and in control households, suggesting that hand washing reduces surface contamination
