The Dakah De'nin's Village Site is an archaeological site near Chitina, Alaska. The site, first identified in 1971 and excavated in 1973, is named for an Ahtna clan chief who the local people believe lived there. Materials recovered at the site include glass trade beads dating to the early 19th century. Dendrochronological analysis of wood used in house construction at the site also yield dates consistent with occupation between about 1810 and 1830. The site includes a feature consisting of five stone slabs, which is consistent with oral tradition concerning the grave site of Dakah De'nin's. [3]
The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. [2]

The site is located near the confluence of the Savonoski and Ukak Rivers, and is within the bounds of the Katmai National Park and Preserve. The site was visited by archaeologists in 1953, who identified a number of surviving elements, including fifteen barabaras, or semi-subterranean dwellings.
The Middle Bay Brick Kiln is a historical archaeological site on Kodiak Island, Alaska. Located on an eroding bluff face on Middle Bay, the site contains the remains of a brickmaking facility established by the Russian American Company, probably in the early 19th century. The remains include a 4-by-4-metre Roman-style kiln, with a series of arches that supported the kiln floor and provided a space for the fire. At the time of the site's first major excavation in 1979, elements of at least one arch were in danger of being undermined by the eroding bluff face, and were removed for potential reconstruction by the Kodiak Historical Society. Other notable finds at the site include hand cut nails and a brick with Russian writing on it.

Excavations of a known prehistoric site in 1964 uncovered additional evidence of a post-contact settlement.
