two  examples  of  type  IV  y,  the  application  of  the  design  differs  from 
that  on  all  of  the  other  harpoon  heads.  In  both  cases  the  decoration 
extends  obliquely  around  both  sides,  enclosing  the  line  hole.  In  plate 
23,  figure  14,  the  ornamentation  is  Old  Bering  Sea  style  2  and  is 
applied  as  a  band  which  begins  at  about  the  middle  of  the  blade  slit 
on  the  side  opposite  the  spur  and  extends  downward  obliquely  to  the 
tip  of  the  spur.  The  ornamentation  in  plate  26,  figure  12,  has  the 
appearance  of  being  unfinished ;  it  consists  of  only  a  few  lines,  but 
again  applied  obliquely,  this  time  beginning  near  the  upper  end  on 
the  same  side  as  the  spur  and  extending  downward  to  terminate  be- 
neath the  line  hole.  The  narrow  rectangular  slot  opening  into  the 
shaft  socket  beneath  the  line  hole  is  a  feature  frequently  found  on 
closed  socket  harpoon  heads;  it  may  have  been  for  the  purpose  of 
facilitating  the  drilling  of  the  socket. 
Closed  socket  type  V  x. — A  single,  symmetrical  spur ;  line  hole  usu- 
ally round,  and  beveled  below ;  end  blade  parallel  with  line  hole  ; 
flattened  oval  in  cross-section;  decorated  (Old  Bering  Sea  or  early 
Punuk)  or  plain.    (PI.  23,  fig.  13;  pi.  26,  figs,  13-15.) 
This  form  of  the  closed  socket  harpoon  head  was  not  used  very 
extensively  during  the  Old  Bering  Sea  period.  Two  examples,  with 
Old  Bering  Sea  ornamentation,  have  been  described  previously  (Col- 
lins, 1929,  pi.  9,  c,  d,  possibly  h).  From  the  Hillside  site  we  have  only 
two  examples,  plate  23,  figure  13,  and  one  other  undecorated  head 
from  among  the  rocks  at  the  north  end.  Plate  23,  figure  13,  from 
among  the  rocks  at  the  south  end,  is  decorated  in  Old  Bering  Sea 
style  3,  that  is,  the  ornamentation  centers  around  two  pairs  of  raised 
"  eyes  "  placed  on  either  side  of  the  line  hole.  The  decoration  on  the 
spur  has  been  obliterated  by  secondary  cutting.  In  the  groove  beneath 
the  line  hole  is  a  small  slot  which  opens  into  the  socket,  similar  to 
those  in  plate  26,  figures  12  and  19. 
From  Miyowagh  there  are  22  harpoon  heads  of  this  type,  the  greater 
number  of  which  are  clearly  of  Punuk  age  as  they  are  mostly  from 
the  later,  northwestern  section  and  are  decorated  for  the  most  part 
in  early  Punuk  style.  There  are  only  four  with  Old  Bering  Sea  orna- 
mentation (pi.  26,  figs.  13-15,  and  one  other  poorly  preserved  speci- 
men from  cut  6,  26  in.  deep).  Figures  13  and  14,  from  cut  13,  depth 
60  inches  and  cut  21,  depth  24  inches,  respectively,  are  remarkable 
for  their  small  size,  which  as  we  shall  see  later,  is  also  a  distinguish- 
ing characteristic  of  the  Punuk  heads  of  this  same  type.  The  decora- 
tion in  figure  14  is  rather  simple,  and  it  might  be  questioned  whether 
it  is  Old  Bering  Sea,  consisting  as  it  does  of  nothing  more  than  straight 
lines  bordering  the  blade  slit  and  a  single  transverse  connecting  line.
