Volume 53, Number 4, October 2006
On the Cover: This banded slate birdstone with a chunky body, upturned tail and long angling neck was found by a grave digger at the Union City cemetery in Darke County, Ohio. It was found prior to 1964 along with a small slate tapered tubular pipe and measures 3 1/2 inches in length, 2 inches in height. It was formerly collected by Harold Buckingham, John Davidson and Earl Mumaw of Versailles, Ohio. Several nicks on the tail were polished over by the ancient maker. The head which features an illusory eye, leans slightly to the left. It was cataloged by Earl Townsend, Jr. of Indianapolis, Indiana as T5001.
