Winter and summer, archaeologists from the University of Alaska and Alaska Methodist University worked to excavate sites along the trans Alaska pipeline, previously identified as likely to contain remains of prehistoric cultural groups. Where work continued in the winter, archaeologists used propane gas-fired heaters and 55-gallon drums to soften the permafrost. About two inches of soil could be thawed in 45 minutes., 1974 - 1977

Pump Station 5 personnel remove the first of three start up “pigs,” devices used to precede the crude oil front during initial operation of the trans Alaska pipeline system.  The pig made the journey from Pump Station 1 to Pump Station 5, a distance of 275 miles, in 10 days.  A second pig, launched yesterday (June 30) from Pump station 5, is now travelling through the four foot diameter pipeline to Pump Station 10.  There, the third and final pig will be launched to lead the oil to its final destination at the Valdez terminal.  Alyeska Pipeline Service Company 7/1/77., 1977-07-01
