Thule Artifacts
Arctic peoples of the early aboriginal Thule culture made many kinds of tools from stone, bone, ivory, and antler. The Thule culture developed between 1,100 and 400 years ago and was based around the hunting of whales, seals, walrus, and caribou, as well as fishing. One Thule technological innovation was the use of harpoon heads that were attached by lines to floats of sealskin.
