NO.    I  ARCHEOLOGY    OF    ST.    LAWRENCE    ISLAND COLLINS  III 
However,  we  have  already  seen  that  a  design  similar  to  this — pairs 
of  short  cross  lines  between  straight  lines  which  extend  downward 
from  tip  to  line  hole — was  found  at  the  Hillside  site  (pi.  12,  fig.  8). 
The  ornamentation  in  plate  26,  figure  13,  is  typically  Old  Bering  Sea, 
with  finely  incised  straight  lines,  broken  lines  and  "  eyes  "  formed 
of  pairs  of  concentric,  nucleated  circles  surmounting  rounded  eleva- 
tions on  either  side  of  the  line  hole.  On  the  spur  are  two  independent 
design  elements,  small  concentric  oval  figures,  placed  transversely. 
On  both  of  these  harpoon  heads  the  groove  beneath  the  line  hole  takes 
an  oblique  path.  Plate  26,  figure  15  (cut  25,  39  in.  deep)  has  a  piece 
broken  ofT  the  spur,  and  the  upper  end  is  broken  and  reworked  into 
a  reamer ;  the  blade  slit  has  been  completely  obliterated,  but  the  con- 
figuration of  the  remaining  upper  end  shows  that  it  must  have  been 
parallel  with  the  line  hole.  The  decoration  is  the  simplified  Old  Bering 
Sea  style  3,  consisting  mainly  of  three  (originally  four?)  pairs  of 
opposed  "  eyes  "  placed  on  rounded  elevations. 
The  Punuk  heads  of  type  V  x  will  be  described  later. 
Closed  socket  type  V  y. — Same  as  type  V  x  except  that  the  blade 
slit  is  at  right  angles  to  the  line  hole.    (PI.  26,  figs.  16-20.) 
This  form  of  type  V'  harpoon  head  was  used  more  frequently  during 
the  Old  Bering  Sea  period  than  was  the  preceding  type,  which  had  the 
blade  slit  parallel  with  the  line  hole.  Six  heads  of  this  type,  decorated 
in  Old  Bering  Sea  style,  have  been  described  previously  (Mathiassen, 
1929,  fig.  13,  a;  Collins,  1929,  pi.  i,  a-h,  c,  d,  e-f ;  Mason,  1930,  pi.  5, 
fig.  I). 
None  was  found  at  the  Hillside  site. 
From  Miyowagh  there  are  21  examples,  10  of  them  decorated  in 
Old  Bering  Sea  style,  4  in  early  Punuk,  i  in  late  Punuk,  and  6  un- 
decorated.  The  10  Old  Bering  Sea  heads  all  come  from  the  south- 
eastern part  of  the  midden  as  follows :  cut  7,  33  inches ;  cut  8,  40  inches 
(pi.  26,  fig.  19)  ;  cut  9  a,  38  inches  (pi.  26,  fig.  18)  ;  cut  15,  60  inches ; 
cut  16,  37  inches;  cut  18,  60  inches;  66  inches  (pi.  26,  fig.  16)  ;  72 
inches;  cut  24,  13  inches  (pi.  26,  fig.  20)  ;  cut  25,  61  inches  (pi.  26, 
fig.  17).  In  addition  to  these  there  are  two  undecorated  heads  from 
cut  18,  60  inches  deep,  and  cut  21,  46  inches  deep,  which  are  probably 
of  Old  Bering  Sea  age. 
One  of  the  most  striking  features  of  these  harpoon  heads,  and  one 
which  often  adds  greatly  to  the  symmetry  of  form  and  decoration,  is 
the  longitudinal  ridge  between  the  line  hole  and  tip.  On  the  small 
specimen,  plate  26,  figure  17,  this  ridge  is  less  noticeable  than  on  any 
of  the  others ;  in  figure  19  it  is  most  pronounced.  On  the  latter,  and 
frequently  on  others,  the  ridge  is  outlined  by  rather  deeply  incised
