Quiver with two compartments formed from ground squirrel skins. The compartments are sewn together along their long edges by strips of rawhide. A strap of rawhide with toggles of hoof(?) comes from the bottom of the quiver and would likely have attached to a small strip of rawhide that is attached at the top. An antler handle is attached to centre of long edge of the larger compartment.
Footed arrow consisting of a wood and antler shaft and a steel arrowhead. The wooden part of the shaft has fletchings of two dark feathers held on at both ends by tightly wrapped sinew. Its nock end is oblong. The other end has a both a hole and a slit cut into it lengthwise to facilitate the hafting of the antler component. It is also wrapped with sinew. The antler component is inserted into the hole of the wooden part and is attached to the arrowhead by a socketed tang. It has barbs carved into the two sides that oppose the edges of the arrowhead.
Footed arrow consisting of a wooden and antler shaft and a steel arrowhead. The wooden part of the shaft has fletchings of twowhite feathers held on by tightly wrapped sinew. Its nock end is oblong and has about a centimeter of wrapped sinew on the shaft above it. The other end has a both a hole and a slit cut into it lengthwise to facilitate the hafting of the antler component. It is also wrapped with sinew. The antler component is inserted into the hole of the wooden part and is attached to the arrowhead by a socketed tang. It has barbs carved into the two sides that complement the edges of the arrowhead. The arrowhead is almost pentagonal in shape.
Footed arrow consisting of a wooden shaft (part a) and an antler shaft attached to a steel arrowhead (part b). The wooden shaft has fletchings of two dark feathers held on by tightly wrapped sinew. Its nock end is oblong and has about a centimeter of wrapped sinew on the shaft above it. The other end has a diagonal cut out of it that forms a point to which the antler can be hafted. It is also wrapped with sinew. The antler shaft has a complementary diagonal cut to the wooden shaft and is attached to the arrowhead by a socketed tang. The arrowhead is almost pentagonal in shape and the edges adjacent to the tip are beveled sharp.
Cable-backed, double recurve bow, made of musk ox horn. The main body of the bow is a long thick slab of horn, with copper rivets holding it together at its joins. Behind the horn is a layer of dark brown hide or skin running the full length. Each end of the horn bow has a knob projecting up and down, around which many strips of hide lashings have been wrapped from end to end. The lengthwise lashings are wrapped widthwise by other hide lashings and then the full thickness of the bow is wrapped near each end and in the middle. The bow string is looped around each end knob, and hangs loosely.
Shaft of an arrow with no fletchings. The nock end has two opposing diagonal cuts that come toward each other to form a blunt end. The other end has both a hole and a slit cut into it lengthwise into it to facilitate hafting the shaft to an arrowead. There is sinew wrapped around both ends.
Footed arrow consisting of a wooden and antler shaft, a copper arrowhead, and no fletchings. Its nock end is oblong and has about a centimeter of wrapped sinew on the shaft above it. The other end has a both a hole and a slit cut into it lengthwise to facilitate the hafting of the antler component. It is also wrapped with sinew. There is a depression near the nock end where fletchings would have previously been attached. The antler component is inserted into the hole of the wooden part and is attached to the arrowhead by a socketed tang. The arrowhead is almost pentagonal in shape.
