On the Cover
This stone palette was found in Pemiscot County, Missouri at the Campbell
Site. It measures 7 ½” in diameter. It is made from highquality
sandstone that exhibits fossils within the material. It has been highly
polished and includes incised circles on both surfaces. It is scalloped
on the rim, and the edge of each scallop has a centered “X” incised
upon it (see photo below). This palette has been pictured in numerous
publications through the years. It is presently curated by Dr. Sandy
B. Carter, Jr. See article on page 21 of this issue.
