Volume 39, Number 4, October 1992
On the Cover: Featured on the cover is an exceptional Late Middle Woodland Hopewell ceremonial blade selected by the Wolverine State Archaeological Society of Michigan. This remarkable artifact measures 8⅞ inches in length and 3 inches in width and is expertly crafted from high-quality Upper Mercer chert, a material prized by Hopewell craftsmen for its fine texture and ability to produce long, thin, finely flaked blades.
The blade was the personal discovery of Norman Grogitsky, who recovered it in 1937 at the well-known Gibraltar Site in Wayne County, Michigan. Its outstanding workmanship and impressive size reflect the advanced flintknapping skills of Hopewell artisans during the Late Middle Woodland period.
