« The collection contains a heavy spear for killing caribou in the water, presumably from a canoe. The point, made of moose antler and with a single large barb, tapers toward the proximal end which is inserted into a hole in the long wooden shaft. At the distal end the shaft is split slightly and notched to receive strips of moose hide lashing which extend up onto and around the proximal end of the point (fig.2). Shorter, lighter versions of this spear were used for taking beaver and the collection contains the shaft of a model beaver spear; the point is missing. The shaft is round and 60.2 cm in length with a slit in the distal end into which the point would have been fitted. Narrow creases in the wood indicate that the point was held in place with sinew. » Vanstone, James W.
