The Archaeological Meeting place: St John United Church of Christ, Bolivar, Society of Ohio is an incorporated non-profit organization fourth Monday of each month. 7:30 p.m President's Column Recently the news media have been full of stories about an injunction filed against a number of people digging on an archaeological site in northern Ken­ tucky. This column is not the place to specifically debate a situation which, in my opinion, had, until it was stopped, severely damaged an extremely impor­ tant archaeological site. Nevertheless, as a result of this and similar incidents, a number of new laws will likely be pro­ posed that will affect the activities of professional and responsible amateur archaeologists alike. As you already know, various states, including Ohio, and the federal govern­ ment have passed laws pertaining to excavation of archaeological sites and collection of artifacts. Other countries have also enacted similar regulations. For example, permits are required be­ fore any archaeological specimens can be collected in the province of Ontario or transported out of Canada. At the March 20 ASO meeting, I expect to have a compilation of the various state and federal laws available so members can learn precisely what is "on the books". If you would like a copy but will not be at the meeting, please contact me and I can send you one. To my knowledge, as of the end of February, there are no bills relating to archaeological matters pending in the Ohio General Assembly. If any are intro­ duced, you can be assured that the ASO's Board of Directors will see that the organization's views are expressed clearly and deliberately. In the mean­ time, it is each member's responsibility to be as informed as possible. Poorly conceived antiquity legislation can arouse long-standing animosity and can fail to achieve its intended purpose. On the other hand, constructive, thoughtful discussion of all legitimate viewpoints can go far to provide the long-term protection of archaeological sites and materials that is one of the ASO's prime goals.

Although the word has a negative connotation in modern language, often associated with backward and obsolete concepts, it reveals a whole different meaning when it comes to aesthetic and arts. That is precisely what all this is about here... 1 RARE SABEAN BRONZE PROTOME Qataban Kingdom, Yemen, Arabic Peninsula, circa 700-100 BC Height : 18 cm Provenance : Private collection, New York Galerie David Ghezelbash, Paris (acquired in 1999) Private collection, Paris In the shape of the powerful forequarters of a bull, his massive head with round muzzle, grooved nostrils, and ribbed bulging brows, symbolic motifs and a crescent moon engraved on the fore- head, a lozenge-decorated diadem between the horns. This rare Sabean inscription is dedicated to the moon god and refers to the people of Qataban, the most prominent Yemeni kingdom in the second half of the 1st millenium before Christ. A written report by Prof. Walter W. Muller, from the Center for Near and Middle-Eastern studies of Philipps Univeristy of Marburg, describes in detail the context and the meaning of these different motifs. “The South Arabians before Islam were polytheists and revered a large number of deities.

The presence of non-local cherts, bladelets, and bladelet cores indicates a Middle Woodland Ohio Hopewell occupation. Raw material sourcing, debitage analyses, and a use-wear analysis uncovered that Spracklen functioned as a logistical hunting campsite. Its people utilized bladelets for butchery and hide-working processes. This information provides new insights into Hopewellian life in the uplands and its place within Hopewell community organization.

  • Remote Sensing
    Current Research in Ohio Archaeology 2018 Eric Olson www.ohioarchaeology.org Public Archaeology at the Silver Lake Sites Eric Olson The Silver Lake Site I (33SU639) lies on a glacial kame overlooking the upper Cuyahoga River.1 The site is in the 26-acre Silver Lake Park (Figure 1). Following the river, south of the bike and hike trail, is a dirt foot path called the Mandala Trail by residents of Silver Lake. The footpath follows the bend of the Cuyahoga River and extends around the old Cuyahoga Falls and Silver Lake landfill. The Silver Lake sites I and II (33 SU 678) were discovered in March 2017 while the author was walking the trail (Olson 2017a). The initial discovery consisted of 15 small flakes of Upper Mercer, Flint Ridge, and Plum Run cherts. Both site discoveries were made while hiking up the steep inclines from the Cuyahoga floodplain onto the glacial features elevated roughly 10 meters above (Figure 2). The hillside portions of the dirt path are heavily eroded. There are no steps or gravel to slow the flow of water during heavy rains. Erosion exposed some of the flake debris and fire- cracked rock (FCR) on the trail. The author then contacted the Mayor of Silver Lake, Mr. Bernie Hovey, to find out what to do about the archaeological discoveries. Mr. Hovey set up a meeting with the author and the archivist of the Silver Lake Historical Society, Robert Zimmerman.
