A metal-working forge powered by coal or charcoal (pictured submerged in June 2009) was used to make tools or other machinery, suggesting that the A.J. Goddard's crew was extremely self-sufficient, project leader Pollack said.

"They were on the Yukon in 1901 [in] the wilderness ... If something broke, they had to fix it."

Also, among the cooking utensils Pollack and his team found large leg bones that almost certainly belonged to moose, a common source of meat in the region. "If you're going out for a week on the river, you're going to take your vittles."
