NO.    I  ARCHEOLOGY   OF    ST.    LAWRENCE    ISLAND — COLLINS  221 
for  holding  the  lashing  in  place.  Below  the  tubular  body  there  is  a 
constriction  on  both  sides  through  which  the  lashing  slot  is  cut ;  the 
base  then  flares  outward,  with  the  under  side  concave  for  resting  on 
the  harpoon  shaft.  It  was  hollowed  by  drilling  from  both  ends.  A 
similar  nozzle  not  quite  finished,  comes  from  cut  20,  39  inches  deep, 
and  one  which  is  just  blocked  out,  from  cut  2,  24  inches  deep.  Another, 
from  cut  17,  depth  26  inches,  lacks  the  slotted  base  and  has  only  a 
suggestion  of  the  elevated  rear  part  of  the  body. 
Plate  73,  figure  10,  from  levoghiyoq,  cut  6,  depth  30  inches,  shows 
an  approach  to  the  "  cannon  "  shape,  with  the  middle  part  sunken  and 
the  bottoms  of  the  rims  cut  so  as  to  rest  evenly  on  the  harpoon  shaft. 
Plate  'j'ii,  figure  12,  from  levoghiyoq,  cut  6,  depth  40  inches,  has  a 
prominent  lip  at  the  front,  and  a  back  end  with  flaring  base  through 
which  is  a  drilled  hole  ;  the  wooden  stopper  was  found  in  place.  There 
are  two  more  specimens  from  levoghiyoq,  one,  similar  to  figure  11, 
from  cut  7,  depth  18  inches,  the  other,  unfinished,  similar  to  figure  12, 
from  cut  9,  depth  12  inches. 
Float  bars  (pi.  73,  fig.  20,  lev.,  cut  4,  depth  53  in.). — These  are 
all  of  wood ;  none  of  the  ivory  handles  of  the  Old  Bering  Sea  period 
(pi.  47,  figs.  6,  7)  were  found  at  the  Punuk  sites. 
Plate  73,  figure  15,  is  a  heavy  ivory  tube,  probably  the  mouthpiece 
for  a  water  bag.  It  is  from  Seklowaghyaget,  picked  up  on  the  surface. 
Side  prongs  for  bird  darts. — From  levoghiyoq  there  are  29  side 
prongs  for  bird  darts,  most  of  them  fragmentary.  Plate  74,  figures  I 
and  2  (from  lev.,  cut  4,  45  in.,  and  cut  i,  28  in.),  illustrate  the  prin- 
cipal type,  which  instead  of  being  rounded  like  the  Old  Bering  Sea 
type  (pi.  33,  figs.  1,2),  tends  to  be  either  flat  or  more  or  less  triangular 
in  cross-section,  with  one  surface  flat  and  the  other  arched ;  there  are 
often  two  small  notched  elevations  opposite  the  lashing  slot  and  two 
or  more  small  round  pits  for  decoration.  No  side  prongs  were  found 
either  at  Seklowaghyaget  or  at  the  old  section  of  Gambell  though 
this  is  doubtless  due  to  accident.  One  specimen  was  found  in  house 
no.  8. 
Thirteen  small,  slender  points,  apparently  for  the  end  of  the  bird 
dart,  were  found  at  levoghiyoq,  and  a  few  others  at  Seklowaghyaget 
and  the  old  section  of  Gambell ;  three  examples  are  shown  in  plate  74, 
figures  3-5;  they  are  from  levoghiyoq,  cut  5,  depth  12  inches;  cut  8, 
29  inches,  and  cut  i,  44  inches. 
Arrowheads. — The  arrowheads  of  the  Punuk  period  are  strikingly 
different  from  those  of  the  Old  Bering  Sea,  and  in  contrast  to  harpoon 
heads  there  is  no  gradation  from  one  stage  to  the  other.  Although  a 
few  individual   features  are  carried  over,  the  types  as  a  whole  are
