content: Note: original cultural attribution was Premorska tribe, which was later changed to Premorska Eskimo, and object has been listed in the electronic database as Eskimo. On p. 287, B.A.E. Bulletin 30, Pt. 1, entry under Chnagmiut (a Bering Strait Yup'ik group), it is noted that "Premorska" is a name sometimes used for these people, derived from Russian - "people of the sea." Premorska has also been referenced by Dall (p. 223 in Alaska and Its Resources, 1870) as a name applied by the Russians to the Kuigpagmiut Yup'ik.

content: Records in the SI Archives of the Office of Distribution say an item with this cat number (a "SP" -- stone point?) was exchanged to Lovett in Great Britain, in 1884. This would explain why the card says "lance heads" (plural) but only 1 is still found in the collection.
