content: Ivory fishhook with catalog number A356297 is illustrated and described in Collins' “Archeology of St. Lawrence island, Alaska” on Plate 75 as figures 4 and 10. Catalog number A356297 represents one ivory cod hook shank, was physically verified in collections storage, and matches the figure 4 as depicted on Plate 75. Figure 10 is incorrectly attributed to this catalog number and is currently represented by AT13291. As of February 2023, the correct number for AT13291 could not be ascertained, but research suggests that a likely candidate is catalog number A356471, one ivory cod hook shank. The catalog record for A356471 has a Record Status of “Removed” an Inventory Status of “Missing Inventory Data” in EMu. Collins, Henry B. 1937. "Archeology of St. Lawrence island, Alaska." Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections. 96 (1):1–431.
