Both types are found on the same sites, mostly those of the pre-European 
period. The bilaterally barbed specimens are the commoner at sites of 
this period; those barbed on one edge only are commoner at later sites. 
Only one barbed unilaterally comes from a Neutral site of the archaic 
period. The writer has not seen any specimens of either type from an 
Algonkian site in Ontario or Quebec, but they are found in the Maritime 
Provinces. 
Antler Toggle-head Harpoon Points 
A few hollowed antler tines, with a hole at right angles to the longer 
diameter, and one or two spurs at the base, 1 which were probably toggle- 
head points for harpoons, have been found at late pre-European Huron 
and post-European Iroquois sites. 
Fish-hooks 
Bone fish-hooks are rare, only ten complete specimens being known, 
five of which come from late pre-European Huron sites. 2 Several speci- 
mens, two of them perfect, others broken, and others in process of manu- 
facture, were found at Mohawk-Onondaga sites in the eastern part of 
southern Ontario (Roebuck site) and the site of Hochelaga; all but the one 
from Hochelaga are barbed; of the others all except one, which is perforated, 
have the end of the shank notched for the attachment of the line. They 
have not been found on Neutral sites, and none has been reported from an 
Algonkian site. 
Spoons 
Several spoons, one of which is of bone and others of antler, have been 
found on Iroquois sites of the post-European period; 3 they do not occur 
on earlier Iroquoian or on Algonkian sites. 
Knife-like Objects 
Several knife-like bone objects from Neutral sites of the transitional 
(Plate XV, figure 10) and late pre-European periods resemble knife blades, 
but their exact use is not known. 
Antler Mattock-like Tools 
Several large mattock-like tools made of antler of unknown use, have 
been found on Huron and Mohawk-Onondaga sites of the late pre-European 
period. Only one is pointed, the rest being more or less blunt, and only a 
few specimens show signs of use. One side of the upper end is flattened, 
apparently to facilitate attachment to a handle. In one specimen the 
shaft is grooved, in another perforated.
