194  SMITHSONIAN    MISCELLANEOUS    COLLECTIONS  VOL.    96 
Plate  66,  figure  3,  is  a  broken  socket  piece  for  a  harpoon.  The  dec- 
oration is  very  simple,  consisting  principally  of  pairs  of  encircling 
lines  connected  by  shorter  pairs  of  lines  forming  H-figures;  at  inter- 
vals there  are  deep,  circular  pits  containing  remnants  of  wooden  plugs. 
Plate  66.  figure  6.  is  an  object  of  unknown  use.  which  is  ornamented 
with  parallel  longitudinal  lines  and  pairs  of  short  transverse  lines, 
with  four  bold  spurs  in  the  center.  It  comes  from  cut  8,  depth  44 
inches. 
Plate  66.  figure  7,  is  a  broken  needle  case  similar  to  several  previ- 
ously described  from  St.  Lawrence  Island  (Collins.  1929.  pi.  17.  b-d). 
It  has  a  "  modern  "'  decoration  of  encircling  lines  to  which  are  at- 
tached alternating  spurs. 
The  function  of  the  object  shown  on  plate  66,  figure  8.  is  uncertain. 
The  central  notch  and  the  two  holes  above  show  that  it  was  lashed  to 
something,  possibly  as  a  cleat  on  an  umiak  for  holding  a  line.  The 
surface  is  profusely  ornamented  with  straight  longitudinal  lines, 
single  and  double :  and  numerous  short,  oblique,  deeply  cut  spurs 
attached  in  pairs  to  the  longer  lines.  It  is  a  typical  example  of  phase 
3  of  Punuk  style  2. 
Plate  66,  figures  4  and  5,  are  two  other  objects  of  unknown  use; 
they  come  respectively  from  cut  i,  depth  42  inches,  and  cut  5.  14  inches. 
On  figure  4  the  decoration  consists  of  nothing  more  than  three  rows 
of  short  detached  vertical  lines  arranged  in  pairs.  Figure  5  shows  the 
combination  of  lines  and  short,  deeply  incised,  oblique  spurs  (phase  3 
of  Punuk  style  2)  that  was  observed  in  plate  65.  figures  3-5.  and  plate 
59,  figure  8. 
Among  the  144  harpoon  heads  and  fragments  from  levoghiyoq. 
only  29  are  decorated.  This  is  in  striking  contrast  to  the  conditions 
observed  at  Miyowagh  and  the  Hillside  site,  where  out  of  a  total  of 
255  heads  and  fragments,  162  were  decorated. 
Eight  of  the  decorated  harpoon  heads  from  levoghiyoq  are  illus- 
trated in  i^late  70.  There  was  no  clear  example  of  Punuk  style  1, 
which  had  been  so  prominent  at  Miyowagh  (pi.  24,  figs.  19-21,  23; 
pi.  26.  figs.  6-9;  pi.  28,  figs.  8-17,  19-22,  25-27).  Plate  70.  figure  21 
(cut  4,  42  in.),  is  the  only  possible  exception;  stylistically  it  is  quite 
conformable,  but  the  lines  and  pits  are  much  deeper  than  on  the 
Miyowagh  heads  which  were  decorated  in  Punuk  style  i. 
Plate  70,  figure  8  (from  cut  4,  depth  59  in.),  is  one  of  six  harpoon 
heads  from  levoghiyoq  decorated  in  phase  I  of  Punuk  style  2 ;  the 
lines  are  rather  deeply  incised,  mostly  straight,  and  have  very  long 
spurs  attached.  This  particular  arrangement  of  lines  and  spurs  (which 
was  also  found  on  several  harpoon  heads   from  Miyowagh — pi.  28.
