MCI 6250 Congo Throwing Knives in the Herbert Ward Collection MCI Staff: Ron H. Cunningham Digital radiography was requested for all five of the throwing knives to help ascertain their method of fabrication. Two sets of computed radiographs were taken for each of the knives. While all the sets of images were comparable in showing stress cracks, surface patterns and losses due to corrosion, those knives arranged to minimize handle thickness appeared slightly sharper. It was also noted that no clear visible evidence of welding or join marks could be found. 148
MCI 6265 Five Archaeological Alaskan Ivory Objects MCI Staff: Ron H. Cunningham Computed radiography has been requested to document the present condition of the artifacts and to determine the extent of cracks or other damages, in preparation for transfer to the Alaska Museum in Anchorage for a multi-year loan. All of the objects – a handle from a decorated ivory box, two harpoon counterweights, an ornament, and a quiver stiffener - appeared structurally sound enough for transit and prolonged exhibition. 149
