AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a brief article describing some artifacts collected from Kodiak Island and housed in the University of California Museum of Anthropology at Berkeley. Most of the artifacts are fishing and hunting gear, although a few articles of clothing, household utensils, and rattles are included. The articles are described as to the materials used in manufacture, dimensions, and design elements. Some mention is made of similar artifacts from other parts of the area. Heizer did archaeological fieldwork in the area in 1934-1935, but the materials analyzed in the article do not relate to this fieldwork.
