p-101. "Wife and Husband" Charms. Bering Sea Eskimo.
Face charms were attached inside the cockpits of some Eskimo kayaks to protect the hunter from harmful spirits. Similar to charms representing "the wife" (frown) and "the husband" (smile) used for protecting the home, this pair protected the ocean traveler. (more info pg.163)
p-102. Lances.
When an animal was exhaused by struggling against the harpoon, it was approached and killed with a lance (above, with chert blade) that could only be used from an umiak, and, south of Bering Strait, the repeating lance. The latter could be rearmed for multiple thrusts (bottom). (more info pg.161)
p-103. Barbed harpoon heads.
Two types of harpoon technology are used in the North Pacific: barbed and toggling. The simplest, distributed mostly in ice-free waters, is the nontoggling (barbed) or "male" harpoon point that holds an animal by its barbs. It is the most ancient form, dating back to paleolithic times. It consisted of a bone, antler, or ivory point with a row of barbs along one or both sides, and a base that had a hole or flange to which a line was tied. The butt end of the head fit into a socket at the front end of the weapon shaft. (more info pg.160)
