NO      I  ARCHEOLO(;V    OF    ST.    LAWRENCE    ISLAND COLLINS  I29 
figures  13,  14.  On  the  small  broken  specimen,  plate  32,  figure  4,  are 
the  outlines  of  two  small  human  faces,  with  the  eyes,  nose,  and  mouth 
indicated  by  dots. 
Type  5  (pi.  32,  fig.  6). — Slender;  rounded  triangular  to  squarish 
in  cross-section ;  roughened  conical  tang ;  no  shoulder ;  average  diam- 
eter 1.5  to  2  cm. 
Ten  examples,  distributed  as  follows :  Cut  10,  22  inches  deep.  Cut 
13,  54  inches  (pi.  32,  fig.  6).  Cut  15,  24  inches.  Cut  18,  24  inches; 
49  inches.  Cut  19,  56  inches.  Cut  23,  52  inches ;  58  inches ;  64  inches. 
Cut  24,  64  inches.  With  7  of  the  10  examples  coming  from  the  lower 
levels  of  the  older  (southeastern)  section  of  the  midden,  and  none  at 
all  from  the  later  (northeastern)  section,  this  is  shown  to  be  an  old 
type,  and  one  that  apparently  passed  out  of  use  before  the  abandon- 
ment of  the  site.  Three  examples  were  found  at  the  Hillside  site 
(U.  S.  N.  M.  nos.  352622,  352755.  352853)- 
Type  4  (pi.  32,  fig.  5). — Flat ;  roughened  conical  tang;  well-defined 
shoulder. 
Only  four  examples:  Cut  i,  63  inches  (pi.  32,  fig.  5,  bone).  Cut  4, 
15  inches.    Cut  5,  23  inches.    Cut  9,  depth  unknown. 
The  distribution  shows  this  to  be  a  more  recent  type  than  the  other 
three,  and  comparatively  unimportant.  It  is  of  interest  to  note  that 
both  of  the  bone  ice  picks  found  at  Miyowagh  belong  to  this  type ; 
they  are  made  of  walrus  penis  bones. 
Finger  rests. — No  finger  rests  for  the  harpoon  shaft  were  found 
at  the  Hillside  site,  but  this  was  no  doubt  due  to  accident.  From 
Miyowagh  there  are  seven  examples,  all  of  ivory.  They  are  divided 
into  two  general  types : 
Type  I. — Long,  with  slightly  concave  base  and  sloping  top ;  a  round 
hole,  a  slot  or  two  slots  for  the  lashing  (pi.  32,  figs.  9-12).  Plate  32, 
figure  9  (cut  7,  depth  62  in.),  has  an  almost  flat  base,  a  deep  notch 
at  the  rear  where  the  finger  rests,  and  a  single  drilled  hole  for  the 
lashing.  Plate  32,  figure  10  (cut  27,  depth  38  in.)  has  a  concave  base, 
a  slightly  projecting  back  end  and  two  slots  for  the  lashing.  Plate  32, 
figure  II  (cut  7,  depth  ^y  in.)  has  the  base  concave,  the  back  end 
sloping  forward,  the  front  end  truncated,  and  a  single  long  lashing 
slot.  Plate  32,  figure  12  (cut  27,  depth  16  in.)  has  a  concave  base, 
straight  back  end,  and  single  small  lashing  slot. 
Type  2. — High,  with  a  flat  base ;  sides  slightly  incurving ;  rounded 
tip;  large  circular  hole  for  the  lashing  (pi.  32,  figs.  7,  8). 
Three  examples :  The  two  figured  (cut  22,  46  in.,  and  cut  18,  32 
in.)  and  a  third  from  cut  2y,  depth  38  inches.
