On the Cover: A hook-type bannerstone found by Howard Lutz in Spencer County, Indiana on April 20, 1977. It measures 3¾ inches long and is a rare Late Archaic form. Of the 15 known specimens, 12 were found in southern Indiana, primarily along the Ohio River from Evansville to Louisville.

This bannerstone was chosen to represent Indiana artifacts, submitted by David Lutz.
