Dilley 43 Field-Found Contest 43 Front Cover: This Hopewell pipe is one of the finest examples from a cache of effigy pipes found in the Tremper Mound, Scioto County, Ohio. Depicting the quail or hobwhite, it is made from highly polished red-maroon pipestone. The lines of the feathers and other features of this once common Ohio bird are faithfully portrayed. During its aboriginal use, the pipe was broken and repaired by strapping a copper band around the lower part of the bowl. So far as is known this is the only such sculpture of the quail known in Ohio. 3 THE YOUNG SITE: A CHERT PROCESSING SITE IN COSHOCTON COUNTY, OHIO by Wayne A.
