It is VERY distinctive - that surgary texture. And I also found a piece in a VERY late Dorset house. I've often wondered if the Dorset maintained contacts down labrador way to the bitter end. But I'm an Alaskan Archaeologist these days - so I have not pursued these thoughts. Dan Odess did write up what we found if you are interested. It was his Phd.

That's interesting about finding it on Baffin Island. I hear lots about its movement south, but I'm less familiar with its spread farther north. Makes sense that it would show up on Baffin though.

Most of the modern harpoons that I've seen have come from Labrador or Igloolik - do people in Iqaluit have their own style of harpoon? Will yours be for small seals or larger animals?Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473674521424237610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086026991280831425.post-87384987428873153392010-08-18T21:10:58.054-02:302010-08-18T21:10:58.054-02:30I'm working on a modren day inuit harpoon. whi...I'm working on a modren day inuit harpoon. which i will use on animals as soon as it's done.

Although I think a drive to Saskatchewan is in the plans for this trip - maybe I'll be able to pick up some Genuine Saskatchewan Sealskin Bindings to have on hand for the next round of tests.
