Poster printed with black and blue ink on white paper. The page contains a three part graphic. The center of the page has a black background that features a Hawaiian octopus lure at center made from a cowry shell, a grooved stone, and a bone hook. The black background transitions into an image of rocky ground on the top part of the page. The octopus lure is shown partially buried in the ground, and a hand holds a trowel at the lure''s edge. The bottom of the page shows two men fishing in a boat with an octopus attached to a fishing line. "Hawai''I / Archaelology" is printed at top left. Handwritten black marker crosses out the text "Week April 1-9, 1995" just below. A column of small text at center left and right discuss the use and construction of the octopus lure.
