On the Cover: This Kirk corner notched projectile features distinct and unusual colorations in the material from which it was made. This Early Archaic (7500 to 8500 BP) artifact is not the result of heat treating. It was found in Western Tennessee and has a polished/ground base and notches and minor evidence of ferric oxide deposits.

Originally much longer, it has had several resharpenings according to Gregory Perino who examined it in the mid 1990s. The distinct and unusual coloration is natural in the Ft.Payne/ Muldraugh chert which is occasionaly found in ranges of blue gray, tan mottling and reddish hues. This artifact was formerly in the collections of Jasper Bailey, David P. Walsh Sr., and Ray Franks.
