AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Primarily a description of specimens found in mummy caves on Kagamil Island by Capt. E. Hennig of the Alaska Commercial Company. Thus, the numbers in the text refer to specimen numbers. In addition to these discussions of archaeological relics, however, the author has included descriptions of Aleut culture based on his own field work. In processing, the material of primarily archaeological interest, material on excavations in Koniag territory, and the illustrations have been excluded.
