This is a collection of 8 prehistoric Eskimo artifacts
made out of bone. Everything except for the Atlatl Peg
(spur) was found on St. Lawrence Island. The Atlatl Peg is
from Alaska. The collection includes a broken end from a
bone atlatl handle, an atlatl peg or spur in excellent
condition, A spear point that looks like a bird head with an
eye hole and mouth slot, a sewing needle with a hooked end
(for nets?), a pointed bone segment that could be a spear
point, a very thin bone segment with a small hole at one end
that could be a fishing lure. This might be from a bird? And
two fossilized Walrus teeth that could be used as bola
weights, but there is no drilled hole. A very nice
collection of very old Eskimo artifacts.
