Figure  14  bears  a  phase  3,  Ptinuk  style  2  ornamentation  of  deeply 
cut  lines  and  short  oblique  spurs ;  traces  of  red  pigment  remain  in 
the  incisions.   The  other  two  heads  are  undecorated. 
Closed  socket  type  V  (b)  x. — Defined  on  page  206.  This  type  is 
also  represented  by  two  specimens.  They  come  from  cuts  4  and  7, 
at  depths  of  34  and  3  inches  respectively.  Both  are  decorated  in  late 
Punuk  style,  with  deeply  incised  lines,  spurs,  dots,  and  circles,  and  one 
has  red  pigment  remaining  in  the  incisions. 
Summary 
We  have  seen  from  the  above  that  some  of  the  harpoon  heads  from 
Seklowaghyaget  are  identical  with  the  prevailing  types  from  levoghi- 
yoq.  These  are  open  socket  types  III  (a)  x  (pi.  71,  figs.  2-4)  and 
closed  socket  types  V  y,  V  (a)  y,  and  V  (b)  x  (pi.  71,  fig.  14).  These 
forms  indicate  contemporaneity  with  levoghiyoq  and  the  latest  period 
at  Miyowagh,  but  there  are  several  new  types  which  show  that  Seklow- 
aghyaget continued  to  be  occupied  after  the  abandonment  of  both  of 
the  other  sites.  The  most  important  of  these  new  types  is  open  socket 
type  III  (b)  X  (pi.  71,  figs.  5-9),  a  specialized  form  of  type  III  (a) 
X,  characterized  especially  by  a  wedge-shaped  socket  which  in  some 
cases  functions  as  a  closed  socket.  This  peculiar  form  of  socket  is  also 
found  on  the  less  common  open  socket  types  III  (b)  y,  III  (c)  y, 
III(c)  X,  and  V;  and,  as  we  shall  see  presently,  it  is  the  predominant 
form  of  socket  at  the  latest  of  the  midden  sites  (the  old  section  of 
Gambell)  and  at  two  house  ruins  of  comparatively  recent  date. 
Harpoon  Heads  from  Old  Section  of  Gambell  and 
Houses  8,  9,  and  10 
House  no.  10,  it  will  be  recalled,  was  the  most  recent  of  the  10  house 
ruins  excavated  (pi.  64,  fig.  2).  According  to  native  testimony  it 
was  the  last  of  the  semisubterranean  dwellings  at  Gambell,  having 
been  occupied  up  to  about  50  years  ago.  The  correctness  of  this  state- 
ment was  proven  by  the  material  obtained :  five  harpoon  heads  of 
modern  type,  one  of  which  is  shown  on  plate  71,  figure  26;  broken 
pottery  lamps  and  cooking  pots  of  modern  type,  the  former  with 
high  wick  ledges,  the  latter  with  suspension  lugs ;  considerable  quanti- 
ties of  hoop  iron,  copper,  etc. ;  small  ivory  bird  figures  ;  flat  bone  sledge 
shoes ;  and  various  other  modern  types  of  implements.
