Stolen Relics

  • An extensive artifact collection which had belonged to the late John Lueken of Helena, Arkansas was taken in a burglary at a private home in Helena in April 1989. The artifacts appear to have been the object of the theft, since no other household goods were taken. The stolen objects include numerous Dalton points, celts, and boatstones and several Mississippian ceramic vessels. At the time of the theft virtually all of the items were labeled with site numbers, most beginning with '3PH-" for Phillips County, Arkansas. Anyone having knowledge of any artifacts which may be part of this stolen collection should notify the police.
