"On the beach and a rough landing from the Bering Sea during a storm from Siberia." While camped on the beach sometimes for days waiting for better weather, I made the best of things and combed the beaches. Found and being moved by the surf and shifting sand and gravels, buried and uncovered again until I pass it during a time when it was visible. Many times I passed this spot and nothing was visible as the tusk was under surf and sand with forty knot offshore gales.

"Eskimo Arrow end Blade" Discovered in the Escholtz Bay region near Kotzebue Alaska. The blade is of bluegreen chert and the base is of Woolly Mammoth Ivory with a drilled hole to attach to an arrow shaft, this was an easily replaced option in the event that the arrow blade was damaged and a new end blade was added. The lacing was replaced with modern hemp. A very nice artifact and exibits a craft of an age of twelve hundred years.

"Ancient Woolly Mammoth ivory knife with slate blade from the Kotzebue region, Alaska."
Both handle and blade found together with a replacement wood pin added to re-attach the blade to the handle. Rare find and very significant artifact attributed to the ancient Eskimo. Elaborate fantastic animal form (unidentifiable) as perhaps a shaman vision deity. "Note bottom photo for a closer view of the animal form."

Ancient Knife handle of Woolly Mammoth Ivory with a slate knife blade. Discovered eroding from a river bank where there once was an Inuit village near Kotzebue, Alaska. "Unidentified anthropomorphic animal form."

"Once in a Life-Time Discovery" Arctic Fluted Clovis end blade. Discovered on a ridge above the American River, Alaska. A chance find with a collection of chips and broken blades used and / discarded by ancient Mammoth hunters. The high point ridge area was an ideal observation post for these ancient hunters to view the distance for approaching mammoths. This fluted spear blade was left behind and on the surface when discovered. Note; the blade has lichen growth along it's surface.
