Provideniya is rich in archaeological treasures. We made our way to Plover -- Provideniya's most famous site, named for a whaler -- on one of the small barges that ferries people and goods around the area. Originally settled by Eskimos, Plover is full of cache pits, used by early Eskimos to store meat and other provisions. Minutes after arriving, Bill Fitzhugh found an old walrus jaw lying right inside one of the pits.
