Abstract
Describes and considers the cultural affinities of an ivory lance head and its presumably associated grey chert end blade from northern Baffin Island. Its pre-Dorset origin is based on similarity to materials collected by Meldgaard (No. 66668) near Igloolik. Comparisons are made with lance and harpoon heads of Dorset age from the Eastern Arctic and specimens from various cultural stages during the first and perhaps second millenium B.C. in Alaska. Consistent occurrence of certain attributes indicates the probability of their being found also in the Denbigh Flint Complex.
