The Manring Mound Site, Clark County, Ohio First, that little bit of snow that makes it by Robert W. Morris 4 impossible to see much earth could Fluted Point From A Licking County Rock Shelter soon be gone and we just might be able by Jeff Carskadden 10 to resume hunting in earnest. The last A Salvaged Adena Keyhole Pendant time I went out, I got so muddy that my by Matt Rismiller 13 dog wouldn't come to me. You know Continuing Discoveries at the Olive Branch Site, the stuff I'm talking about, mud on top Alexander County, Illinois and frozen an inch or so below, greasy by Richard Michael Gramly PhD 14 and heavy. You might say, yuck, but A Pair of Hammer Poll Axes from an Eighteenth Century there is something to being out in a Delaware Village Site by John C. Rummel 21 field, fresh air, open, mud, just having a good look see. The Peopling of the America Symposium Symposium Participants 22 Prime surface hunting is just around the corner and so is our symposium, A Whittlesey Culture Engraved Shell Mask "The Peopling of the Americas". In fact this is the wake up call. In the by Jim Hovan 24 next issue of the "Ohio Archaeologist" the discussion will be about Two Double Crescents 25 what a great time we had, the archaeological super stars that were Meeting Scenes 26 here, all the new friends we made and the renewal of old friendships Engraved Slate Artifact by Richard D.

Some Ohio Adzes From My Collection Please note that all of our speakers have been published. Most of it by Ear Hothem 30 is over my head, but three of our speakers have recently published A Tapered Celt From Michigan books dealing with the subject matter of our symposium. I highly rec by Douglas A. Whitcomb 31 ommend them as they are very informative, each is different and all are A Fairfield County Effigy Stone by Don Casto 32 readable. Your homework assignment is to read authors Dillehay, Adovasio and Chatters' recent books. Finding the oldest trace of Prismoidal Bannerstone Found in Darke County humans in the new world has got to be one of the hottest topics, in by Michael E Batten 33 archaeology, to explore. Dillehay will give you a feel of our southern Wolf Creek Artifact Show May 16th 33 continent, not just Monte Verde, but what we know about the first Twin Tracks, A Middle Woodland Site in South Americans. Find out who's in the "card carrying clovis first" club Perry County, Ohio by D. R.
