在阿拉斯加和育空地区发现的 Y 形铜或铁匕首通常归因于北阿萨巴斯卡文化。这项研究揭示了它们的详细分布、类型和用途。此外，我们还讨论了作为狩猎工具的匕首与声望商品之间的关系。我们得出的结论是，阿萨巴斯卡匕首不仅是实用的狩猎工具，而且还是名贵商品。这一想法可以部分解决北阿萨巴斯卡考古背景（支持本土铜作为实用技术）与强烈强调与声望联系的地区民族历史之间的矛盾。
Y-shaped copper or iron daggers found in Alaska and Yukon are generally attributed to the Northern Athabascan cultures. This study reveals their detailed distribution, types, and usage. Additionally, we discuss the relation between daggers as hunting tools and prestige goods. We conclude that Athabascan daggers were not only practical hunting tools, but also were prestige goods. This idea can partly resolve the proposed contradiction of the Northern Athabascan's archaeological context that supports native copper as a practical technology and the regional ethnohistory that strongly emphasizes connection with prestige.
