r20 154 PREHISTORIC FISHING.
Fig. 251 (on page 153). — Another single-barbed specimen, eight inches and one-half in length. Found in the neighborhood of Fond du Lac, and presented to the Society in 1876 by M. de Neveu.
Fig. 252. — Copper harpoon-head. Alaska.
Until comparatively recent times harpoon -heads were hammered out of native copper by certain Indians of Alaska. There are several specimens in the United States National Museum, contributed by Mr. Dall and Dr. T. T. Minor, and one of them..., obtained by the last-named gentleman from the Thlinkets on Baranoff Island (Sitka), is represented in Fig. 252. It is a well-worked flattish harpoon-head, three-sixteenths of an inch thick, with five sharp unilateral barbs and an eye in the expanding lower part, and strikingly similar in shape to some of the specimens of bone heretofore described.
I am indebted to Mr. Dall for the following details concerning the use of native copper in Alaska : — " The earliest ethnological fact recorded by Steller, the first white man who set foot on these coasts, at Kayak Island, near the mouth of the Atna or Copper River, July 20, 1741, was the discovery (among other things) of a whetstone on which copper knives had been sharpened.
