pipe cleaner or tobacco bag fastener1927.1734 . 176364

« Tobacco pouches, particularly the roll-up variety, were frequently closed with the aid of fasteners which also served as pipe cleaners. There are 13 of these in the Speck collection and they are quite similar, consisting of a narrow piece of bone tapered or pointed at one end with a suspension hole at the other. Usually the neck constricts and there is a series of notches around the suspension hole. Another characteristic is parallel or crossed incised lines below the suspension hole. Typical examples are illustrated (fig. 9e,g,i-j). » Vanstone, James W. "The Speck Collection of Montagnais Material Culture from the Lower St. Lawrence Drainage, Quebec." Fieldiana. Anthropology. New Series, No. 5 (October 29, 1982), p.13, fig 9e, f, g, i, j (p.37).

cleaver1927.1734 . 176356

« A large knife or cleaver is made from the leg bone of a moose. The bone is split in half at the distal end and has a beveled edge. Attached to this specimen is a shoulder strap of moose hide which is inserted through a hole approximately 5 cm from the proximal end (fig. 5a). According to Speck's notes, this knife was made to demonstrate what is done in the bush when metal knives are lost or no metal is available. » Vanstone, James W.
