FROM CARD: "3 ILLUS. IN SMITHSONIAN REPT 1893; PL. 56, FIGS. 2, 3, 4; P. 679."Source of the information below: Inuvialuit Pitqusiit Inuuniarutait: Inuvialuit Living History, The MacFarlane Collection website, by the Inuvialuit Cultural Resource Centre (ICRC), Inuvik, N.W.T., Canada (website credits here http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/posts/12 ), entry on this artifact http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/items/218 , retrieved 1-8-2020: This is a set of fourteen arrowheads. All appear to have been made from bone. One of the arrowheads has barbs along both edges, and the others have barbs along one edge only. The arrowheads all have conical tangs that would have been inserted into the ends of arrow shafts. The Smithsonian Instutiton catalgue identifies these items as tips for fish darts; however, they are similar in size and shape to arrowheads on arrows in the MacFarlane Collection.Note: in addition to the 14 arrowheads described above, there are 2 additional points that have been called # E2674. However, they may not actually belong with this set.
