"'People started noticing stuff eroding out of the bluff,' she recalls, 'and I got called out, along with the police, the real estate people and so on.
'It was very clearly an archaeological burial. And the bluff was collapsing quickly, so we just got the contents out.'
The bluff lies virtually at the end of the Americas, on a narrow, hooked spit projecting northwards from Barrow. It marks the join of the Beaufort and Chukchi seas, and is prey to the temperamental vagaries of both."
