Excerpt from Archeology of the Yakutat Bay Area, Alaska These studies were begun in 1949, when Frederica de Laguna, senior author of the report, made an archeological and ethnological reconnaissance to select some area or areas for the proposed research. On this trip she was assisted by Edward Malin and William Irving, then students at the University of Washington and the University of Alaska, respectively. As a result, the Yakutat region on the Gulf of Alaska and the territory of the Angoon Tlingit in southeastern Alaska were chosen. A report on the fieldwork at Angoon in 1949 and 1950 has been published by the Bureau of American Ethnology as Bulletin 172.
