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.
