Archeological field work and archival research relating to human occupation of the Eagle Historic District in Alaska, focusing on Fort Egbert in the vicinity of Eagle, were conducted during summer and fall 1977. Four square miles were intensively surveyed, including the fort and 72 sites located outside the fort core area and the city of Eagle. These prehistoric and historic localities document activities related to the occupation of the fort as well as a number of other cultural patterns representative of the prehistory and history of the area. Excavations were conducted at the Quartermaster's Stables at the fort in connection with the stabilization work being performed by the Bureau of Land Management. Structural remains as well as 9000+ artifacts were found. Historic research at the National Archives and Records Service and the University of Alaska archives focusing on the establishment, functioning, and demise of Fort Egbert was also undertaken during the summer. The results of archeological and historic research illustrate continuities as well as change in human adaptation in the district. These patterns are synthesized. Recommendations for management of cultural resources in the district are presented.
