Statement of Significance (as of designation - June 2, 1978):
Discovered in 1970 during reconnaisence survey associated with the construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, this is the earliest dated archeological site in Northern Alaska, demonstrating strong affinities between the indigenous peoples of Alaska and Siberia. The site is located on a prominent Ice Contact kame situated on the floor of the Upper Sagavanirktok River Valley. The kame is 180 meters in diameter and rises some 23 meters; the hill's commanding view of the adjacent game-rich tundra has resulted in its repeated use over time by human beings.

Condition:
NPS has not made a site visit to the Gallagher Flint Station in recent years.

Changes to the landmark are unknown at this time.
