<strong>MCI</strong> 6265 Five Archaeological Alaskan Ivory Objects<br />

<strong>MCI</strong> Staff: Ron H. Cunningham<br />

Computed radiography has been requested to document the present condition of the<br />

artifacts and to determine the extent of cracks or other damages, in preparation for transfer to the<br />

Alaska Museum in Anchorage for a multi-year loan. All of the objects – a handle from a<br />

decorated ivory box, two harpoon counterweights, an ornament, and a quiver stiffener - appeared<br />

structurally sound enough for transit and prolonged exhibition.<br />
