On the Cover
Pictured on the cover in full size are two of the finest slate pieces ever
found. Up to now, they have remained largely unseen.
On the right is an extremely rare “submarine” style humped gorget.
They are primarily found in Northern Ohio. This gorget was found in Logan
County, Ohio and measures 5 ½ inches in length,
somewhat larger than most examples. It is 1 ¾ inches wide and was
originally collected by Dr. Stanley Copeland of Columbus, Ohio. Submarine
gorgets are also sometimes referred to as a coffin shaped or arrow shaped
gorget. These gorgets are finely made and exhibit the highest quality
of workmenship. Edward Galitza found a humped gorget at the Williams Site
in Logan County that absolutely identified it with the Glacial Kame Period.
On the left is an unusually well made “Lizard” effigy stone. This
slate form has more varations than any other. This example appears
to be possibly be in the form of a snail. It has exceptional banding and form.
It measures 5 inches in length and is 2 1/8 inches wide. Years ago,
Dr. Meuser had a near identical
one that came from the adjacent county this was from. When they were put side by side they were so close in form and
manufacture that it was believed the same ancient individual made them.
There is said to be a picture somewhere that has them sitting on top of
one another showing how identical they were. |
