We broke records for atten dance and displays - it was the largest meeting ever held by the An Engraved Slate Pendant by David W. Didion 11 Archaeological Society of Ohio. Mound Artifacts From The Lost George Lilienthal Collection We had problems at that meeting which need to be addressed to by Jeff Carskadden 12 insure well organized future meetings. The first problem is that Large Axes by Carl A. Smith 15 we must keep aisles and doorways clear - this is only common sense and a little thought will solve it. Secondly, some cars and An Unnamed Serrated Type by Jeff Zemrock 16 vehicles were parked in driveways and fire lanes and no-parking zones. The Shrine Temple parking lot is huge and there are Three Southern Ohio Artifacts by Roland Maynard 17 plenty of good parking places. We are informed that illegally Tremper Mound Pipe by David W. Kuhn 18 parked cars will be towed in the future, so please be careful where you park or your car will be impounded. Two Multipurpose Flint Tools by WaltSperry 19 An Unusual Pipe From Delaware County by John Day 20 Another problem was use of tables. By keeping the number of Three Ohio Pendants by Ted McVey 21 tables you use to a minimum, it will free up tables for others. At the last meeting we used 160 tables and several small tables. Flint Ridge Chalcedony by Todd Harding 22 Please make an effort to keep items not on display out of aisle- ways. If you are talking to others, please try to avoid blocking Ohio Pipestone Artifacts From The Weidner Collection aisles, this will allow more people to view the displays. by ten Weidner 23 A Middle-Late Archaic Site in Marion Co., Ky. by James C.

It was collected by Al Wakefield of Youngstown, in Wellington, Ohio, in the 1950s The original collector was Wade Johnson of Wellington in Lorain County. As with many gorgets of this type, it shows heavy wear and a nick in the lower end has been ground smooth. Also, like many gorgets of this type, it is engraved with a number of barely discernible lines and patterns. Cultural placement for this scarce gorget type is tentatively with Ohio Hopewell. 3 OHIO NATIONAL GUARD ACTIVITIES AT THE NEWARK WORKS by James L.
