and  one  other  have  plugs  of  baleen  set  in  the  small  round  pits,  and 
most  of  them  have  the  rounded  elevations  beside  the  line  hole  that  are 
SO  characteristic  of  the  early  Punuk  heads  in  general. 
Closed  Socket  Harpoon  Heads 
We  will  now  consider  the  closed  socket  harpoon  heads  of  Punuk 
type  from  Miyowagh,  most  of  them  from  the  northwestern  section  of 
the  midden. 
No  examples  of  the  older  types — I-IV — were  found  in  this  section. 
Closed  socket  type  V  x  (pi.  28,  figs.  19-22). — Definition  of  the 
type  was  given  on  page  no,  where  the  six  specimens  with  Old  Bering 
Sea  ornamentation  werei  described,  two  of  them  from  the  Hillside 
site  and  four  from  Miyowagh.  The  remaining  18  specimens  from 
Miyowagh  are  either  undecorated  or  bear  a  Punuk  ornamentation. 
Six  of  them  come  from  the  southeastern  part  of  the  midden,  as  fol- 
lows:  Cut  9,  24  inches  (2)  ;  25  inches.  Cut  23,  8  inches.  Cut  24, 
18  inches.  Cut  27,  16  inches  (pi.  28,  fig.  20).  Twelve  are  from  the 
northwestern  section:  Cut  i,  30  inches  (pi.  28,  fig.  22).  Cut  2,  12 
inches.  Cut  3,  24  inches.  Cut  4,  43  inches.  Cut  6,  6  inches.  Cut  19, 
12  inches  ;  17  inches;  24  inches;  42  inches;  45  inches;  48  inches  (pi. 
28,  fig.  21).    Cut  20,  12  inches  (pi.  28,  fig.  19). 
Most  of  the  harpoon  heads  of  this  type  are  small,  from  6  to  8  cm 
long. 
Three  of  the  heads  have  line  holes  that  depart  from  the  usual  round 
shape.  That  of  plate  28,  figure  20,  is  somewhat  squarish,  figure  21, 
oval-rectangular,  and  that  of  another  from  cut  24,  depth  18  inches, 
is  triangular.  The  small  specimen,  plate  28,  figure  22,  was  provided 
with  a  lashing  slot  and  opposite  groove,  and  used  in  the  manner  of 
an  open  socket  head,  after  a  piece  had  broken  away  from  the  socket. 
The  Punuk  ornamentation  on  most  of  these  closed  socket  heads 
dififers  from  that  on  the  open  socket  forms.  On  the  latter,  the  lines 
that  descend  from  the  blade  slit  pass  around  the  line  hole  and  continue 
downward,  each  line  becoming  forked  at  the  end.  On  the  closed  socket 
heads  the  lines  begin  in  the  same  way,  but  instead  of  continuing  to 
diverge,  they  come  together  again  below  the  line  hole,  which  is  thereby 
enclosed  in  a  lozenge-shaped  figure.  Another  line,  parallel  with  the 
edge,  extends  down  both  sides,  and  dots  or  spurs  are  applied  at 
intervals. 
Closed  socket  type  V  (a)  x. — Single,  symmetrical  spur ;  round  line 
hole,  beveled  below ;  end  blade  parallel  with  line  hole ;  small  barbs 
along  edges;  oval  in  cross-section;  decoration  Punuk.  (PI.  28,  figs. 
23,  24.)
