HARPOON-HEADS. 



55 



lake-men used harpoons with detachable heads ; but they may nevertheless have 

 employed them. 



The armatures thus far described exhibit only a single barb ; in Fig. 60 a 

 series of unilateral barbs is seen. The specimen, made of deer-horn, was 

 found at Concise.* 



Passing over to harpoon-like armatures with bilateral barbs, I give in Fig. 

 61 the representation of a specimen of deer-horn, found at Wauwyl. It shows 

 three sharply-cut barbs on each side, and appears to be of a flattish form.-j-

FIGS. 62-64. Deer-horn harpoon-heads. Lattringen. 



Figs. 62, 63, and 64 are delineations of deer-horn harpoon-heads obtained 

 by Dr. Gross from the Lattringen stone and bronze-age settlement in the Lake 

 of Bienne. They are all perforated at the lower ends, which terminate abruptly.
