Description
This is an ancestral bilaterally barbed harpoon point from the coast of Katmai National Park and Preserve on the Alaska Peninsula. Ancestral Alutiit used these harpoons to harvest sea mammals. The triangular hole indicates a long, leather line likely attached this harpoon head to a sealskin float. The socketed base of this harpoon head demonstrates a compression fit kept this harpoon head in the shaft until it was driven into the animal.
