Sanak Point, Sanak Island, Alaska. CAT# XFP-054-31 XFP-054 is an early village in a dune area on the south side of Sanak Island, Alaska.

This is the time of the early occupation of Hot Springs Village on the Alaska Peninsula. These artifacts were scanned with either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i.
