Fishing hook for halibut
Pamela Smith: Wood burning on the halibut hooks is it not etched? It seems like it was burned. Needs to be compared to other eyak artifacts.
John Johnson: Wood type? Yellow cedar??
Dawn Randazzo: Yellow cedar does not rot as quickly as it has anti-fungal properties
John Johnson: Tied with split spruce root.
