- Comments
- RaJn-VP: The ball-shaped part of a periotic bone was collected from the right side of a bowhead skull previously excavated (likely by Inuit searching for carving bone) from thin shingle beach gravel overlying till. The skull was resting right (dorsal) side up and appears to have been 30% buried originally. The skull is too weathered to measure width.
