The other is more rounded and has a slot at the proximal end to facilitate hafting (PI. 9, 2). The identification of this latter specimen should be considered particularly tentative. A fish spear point of antler has three barbs along one side and is tangless (PL 9, l); the specimen may be broken at the proximal end. A similar point was recovered from the Tikchik site (VanStone, 1968b, p. 275, pi. 4, 13). Both would presumably have been hafted to a long shaft; a spear of this type is illustrated by Nelson (1899, PI. LXVII, 4). What have been referred to in the archaeological literature as composite harpoon heads are represented in the Akulivikchuk collec- tion by four finished and two unfinished halves. The term appears.
