content: From card: "Number 401600 is omitted in catalog, but specimens were numbered 401600 and had provenience tag with them. Includes: human hair [sic], baleen, misc, wood, ivory, & bone, chipped stone, knives & points, knife sharpener, and vertebrae; illust., Ford, 1959, fig. 83j,m,n."

content: Original Catalog Number: 2748 Style: Spaced Weft Twining Twist: Z Raw Material 2: Rabbit Element: Mantle Shape/Form: Rectangle Manufacturing Notes: Wefts are spaced at ~.5 cm intervals. Warps and wefts of similar wt. (thickness). Use Trace: Fold lines are clearly visible, showing that this had been folded into a bundle ~10 cm wide. Comments: There is patterned discoloration or variation in coloration. The patterns are symmetrical on either side of the center fold line, suggesting that this might have been essentially "tie-dyed". Color variation is quite noticeable and represents a dyed pattern. The design is abstract, but consists of curvilinear patches of color. Top long edge is selvage. Appears to include vegetal fiber in the yarns. 2 side edges may contain remnants of selvage as well.

The pipe stem is in two longitudinal sections that have been bound together with a baleen wrapping. Strips of hide were laid along the junctures of the two sections before they were bound together, presumably to seal the joints. One end has been shaped to serve as a bowl for holding tobacco. More information here: http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/item_types/2: nuvialuit first obtained pipes and tobacco in the 1800s through indigenous trade networks that stretched through Alaska and as far as Siberia. ...

content: FROM CARD: "SLIGHTLY CONVEX-EDGED RECTANGULAR IRON BLADE WITH A ONE THIRD LENGTH "U" SHAPED CUT IN THE BACK WHICH IS SPLIT AT THE EDGES FOR INSERTION OF A WOODEN HANDLE (NOT PRESENT). SAME FORM AS CAT. NO. 378."

content: See Chang-Su Houchins. 1995. Artifacts of Diplomacy: Smithsonian Collections from Commodore Matthew Perry's Japan Expedition (1853-1854). Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology, Number 37. P. 124.

content: Chang-su Houchins identifies this object as a ploughshare, however it is almost identical in form to E378, a spade blade, and very different from E380, a ploughshare. (It is similar to hoe blade of hoe E375 also). It has been decided to identify it as a spade blade for now, based on its original catalogue identification. Per James Morrow - see Morrow, James, and Allan B. Cole. 1947. A Scientist with Perry in Japan : the Journal of Dr. James Morrow. Edited by Allan B. Cole. Chapel Hill: the University of North Carolina Press, p. 221 and p. 233 - Morrow acquired for the Perry expedition one wooden spade and two extra new blades near Canton (Guangzhou), China, and a spade in Shimoda, Japan. He probably also received additional informal gifts. See also E288, a shovel blade. On p. 139 Morrow discusses Japanese tools, and mentions both spades and shovels: "They have ... a very good spade of wood, shod with iron like their heavy digging hoe, - and an indifferent shovel."
