The Norton tradition is an archaeological culture that developed in the Western Arctic along the Alaskan shore of the Bering Strait around 1000 BC and lasted through about 800 AD. The Norton people used flake-stone tools like their predecessors, the Arctic small tool tradition, but they were more marine-oriented and brought new technologies such as oil-burning lamps and clay vessels into use.

  • The Norton tradition is an archaeological culture that developed in the Western Arctic along the Alaskan shore of the Bering Strait around 1000 BC and lasted through about 800 AD. The Norton people used flake-stone tools like their predecessors, the Arctic small tool tradition, but they were more marine-oriented and brought new technologies such as oil-burning lamps and clay vessels into use. Norton people used both marine and land resources as part of their subsistence strategy. They hunted caribou and smaller mammals as well as salmon and larger sea mammals. Their settlements were occupied fairly permanently, as is evidenced by village sites which contain substantial dwellings. During summer months, small camps may have been used as temporary hunting and fishing locations, but the main dwelling place was maintained and returned to at the end of the hunting season. in about 700 BC, the Norton inhabitants of the St. Lawrence and other Bering Strait Islands developed an even more specialized culture, based entirely on the ocean, called the Thule tradition.

  • De Nortoncultuur is een archeologische cultuur die zich rond 1600 voor Christus tot ongeveer 800 na Christus ontwikkelde langs de kust van Alaska. De Norton-mensen gebruikten stenen afslaggereedschap zoals hun voorgangers, de Arctische kleine werktuigtraditie, maar waren meer op de zee gericht en brachten nieuwe technologieën zoals olielampen en aardewerk. De Norton-mensen gebruikten zowel zee- als landhulpbronnen. Ze jaagden op kariboes en kleinere zoogdieren, maar ook op zalm en grotere zeezoogdieren. Hun nederzettingen werden redelijk permanent bewoond, zoals blijkt uit de aanwezigheid van substantiële woningen. Tijdens de zomermaanden werden mogelijk kleine kampementen gebruikt als tijdelijke jacht- en vislocaties, maar de thuisbasis werd behouden en aan het einde van het jachtseizoen keerde men terug. Rond 700 voor Christus ontwikkelden de inwoners van St. Lawrence en andere Beringstraat-eilanden de Punuk- en Birnirk-culturen, waaruit een meer gespecialiseerde, volledig op de zee gebaseerde cultuur ontstond, de Thulecultuur.
