Extract

The specimens recovered from the sites visited on the Yukon and its tributaries, or acquired by purchase from others who had visited such sites, comprise about eighty types. In making this count I have considered the material of which the specimens were made, for example, listing netweights of stone as a different type from netweights of bone, and I have also treated the separate parts of composite implements, like harpoons, as distinct types. If I had considered each of the design elements used to decorate bone objects or pottery as separate types, the list would have had to be still further expanded.

Such a list is given below. In the first column are given the types represented by the supposedly Eskimo material from the vicinity of Holy Cross. In the second, are types from prehistoric Tena sites; in the third, types from Tena sites of uncertain age; and in the fourth, types from historic Tena sites, to which are added in parentheses the types actually seen in use in 1935.
