« Tobacco pouches, particularly the roll-up variety, were frequently closed with the aid of fasteners which also served as pipe cleaners. There are 13 of these in the Speck collection and they are quite similar, consisting of a narrow piece of bone tapered or pointed at one end with a suspension hole at the other. Usually the neck constricts and there is a series of notches around the suspension hole. Another characteristic is parallel or crossed incised lines below the suspension hole. Typical examples are illustrated (fig. 9e,g,i-j). » Vanstone, James W. "The Speck Collection of Montagnais Material Culture from the Lower St. Lawrence Drainage, Quebec." Fieldiana. Anthropology.
