On the Cover _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ This is the first time these three remarkable and large rare copper spears have been shown together. They most likely date to the Late Archaic period (1600 B.C.) and show exceptional craftsmanship and artistic form. The spear on the far left measures 6 inches in length and was found in a small niche along a wall in rock shelter by Bryan Baker in Logan County, Kentucky, in 2014. The center spear measures 8 ¼ inches in length was found in 1961 at the Crib Mound site by Buddy Scheidegger in 1961 in Spencer County, Indiana. The spear at the far right measures 9 inches in length and was found in 2017 by Aaron Bradford in Meade County, Kentucky. This form is highly unusual and extremely scarce, with just a few other examples known, including another from Crib Mound, one from Harrison County, Indiana, and finally one found by Aaron Bradford’s late father in the same vicinity as the one Aaron found. photograph by Steven R.
