Focusing on the ecological framework, the thesis synthesizes archaeological data from the Near Islands of the Aleutian chain, emphasizing the Aleut people's adaptations and interactions with their marine environment. It highlights the importance of understanding this complex ecosystem to fully grasp the Aleuts' religious, political, historical, and social aspects. The study aims to analyze how the environment influences site size and distribution, addressing key questions about the relationship between the Aleuts and their surroundings.
