content: Provenience note: "Agliamate" on catalogue card for E74717 is a mistransciption of a culture name (it is not a locality name) otherwise listed as "Aglianyut" on catalogue cards E74714 - 8, and possibly (handwriting is hard to read) as "Agliamjut" in the Anthropology ledger book entry for these objects. One can speculate that the Aglianyut are actually the Aglurmiut (Yup'ik).
