Ground Slate Lance heads

Slate lances and ivory polar bear
head preforms
I finally have something from the workshop to share.  I finished a pair of Dorset Palaeoeskimo slate lance heads today.  I need one for an upcoming order and the other will be a spare to keep in my display collection that I tote around to demonstrations and talks.  While I was in the cutting, carving, and grinding mode, I started a couple small ivory bear heads.  Again, I need one for an order and the other will go into my collection.

  1. Where these used for caribou hunting or dispatching of seals?

    1. They seem to be associated with caribou hunting.
