Implications of a Pre-Dorset Lance Head from the Eastern Canadian Arctic

Describes and considers the cultural affinities of an ivory lance head and its presumably associated grey chert end blade from northern Baffin Island. Its pre-Dorset origin is based on similarity to materials collected by Meldgaard (No. 66668) near Igloolik. Comparisons are made with lance and harpo...
