On the Cover: The painting on the front cover shows prehistoric men fishing the river at the Clarksville Site in Clark County, Indiana. This late Archaic Period site has produced thousand of artifacts. Of particular note are the two large blue/grey fish visible underwater. These are freshwater drum fish, which inhabited the falls of the Ohio River in great numbers. They range from three to ten pounds in weight, and provided a major food source. Painting by Ron Holze
Collection of Dick Burnett, Shelbyville, Kentucky
