1 comment BARROW, ALASKA– Since I was a little girl I’ve been fascinated with the past. In this video, I describe the fulfillment of my lifelong dream to work as an archaeologist in the Arctic.
Laura Thomas is an archaeologist and full-time resident of Barrow, Alaska. As the Field and Lab Director for the Nuvuk Archaeology Project, Laura devotes her time to the long-term excavation of a 1,000-year-old burial ground significantly threatened by erosion. Born and raised amongst the rich geological history of Ontario, Canada, Laura has held a lifelong interest in prehistory and how past peoples adapted to their environments. She is a graduate of the University of Toronto, and describes her archaeological work in the Arctic as “living the dream.”

Hi Laura!
This is Dora from North Carolina —
I enjoyed your video and I look forward to reading your ice stories! It has been a few years since I went out to Nuvuk with you and Anne Jensen — how things have changed!
Good luck with your summer work, and keep those stories and photos coming.
