Author: Wissler, Clark Title: Harpoons and Darts in the Stefansson Collection Year: 1916 Publisher: New York: Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History (Vol. XIV, Part II) Pages: 88 Source: American Museum of Natural History Description: "Our subject is one of peculiar interest not only because the retrieving darts of the Eskimo are truly ingenious inventions but more because in them are to be seen problems of general significance. Though harpoons in particular have from the very first excited the wonder of travelers and been made the subject of papers by some of our most distinguished anthropologists, no one has yet given us the keen searching analysis of this culture trait necessary to a clear statement of its probable history. Such a study must first of all give a full presentation of geographical distribution and analyze the similarities observed between various localities" (Wissler, from Introduction, 1916:403).
