birnirk culture

The Birnirk culture is an prehistoric Inuit civilization of the north coast of Alaska, dating from 500 to 900 CE and disappearing around 1000 CE. It succeeded the Punuk and Old Bering Sea/Okvik cultures and is distingushed from those cultures due to different art and harpoon styles. It preceded the Thule culture. During the Birnirk culture, sea mammals were hunted. "Open-water pursuit" (using kayaks) was used. A burial mound of the Birnirk culture was discovered in the town of Wales; 16 more have been found in Barrow at the "Birnirk site," which is now a National Historic Landmark. An ancient Birnirk village was at Ukpeagvik.
