Dr. Otto Giest Finds
Sledge Island Cache Only
About 200 Years Old •
Dr. Otto Giest returned Thurs
day night from examining the
Eskimo cache found on Sledge
Island by Dave Walluk this
spring. Giest made the trip with
Walluk by skin boat.
The anthropologist from the
University of Alaska said the
cache wasn’t as old as had been at
first thought. He placed the age
of the relics at not more than 2Ul»
years.
He said that there was very
little left in the cave and what
there was, was of very little value
to the musuem.
Dr. Giest is awaiting transport
ation to the Kougarok, where he
will look over the mine diggings
for prehistoric mammoth remains.
He plans to go first to Taylor
then cover the entire region be
fore returning to Nome and going
on to College.
