A) Medium sized hook made from bent wood, possibly hemlock with a bone barb lashed to the upper arm with root. The tip of the lower arm is also lashed with root. A length of nettle fibre cord is wrapped between the two arms, possibly for securing the bait on the hook. B) A slightly larger hook made from bent wood, possibly hemlock with a bone barb lashed to the upper arm with root. The part of the lower arm is also lashed with root but the tip has a portion of much finer material which could possibly be a regional style (other hooks with this are Z 34969 and Z 34973). A length of nettle fibre cord is wrapped around the barb lashing. C) Missing 1993, but described as Bone fish hook made in two pieces, the barb being lashed to the shank with sinew. Sinew line attached. D) Large wooden halibut hook made from hemlock with a bone barb lashed to the upper with root. Near to the barb a length of sinew has been roughly tied. Attached to the lower arm is the twisted nettle fibre leader which would have anchored the hook to the line and a weight. The leader is secured to the lower arm with an extra binding of root and possibly cherry bark. E) Missing 1993, has the following description on the catalogue card, large wooden halibut hook with straight bone barbs and line attached . F) Whaling harpoon head made from two prongs of elk antler hold a mussel shell Mytilus californianus. The shell is bound in position with bark and spruce gum. Attached to the harpoon head is a length of line made from whale sinew or some such material, the end of which is looped and bound with cherry bark. G) Missing 1993, catalogue card description states, shell and bone harpoon head. Good
