Central States Archaeological Journal April 2020

Volume 67, Number 2, April 2020

On the Cover: This is the first time these three remarkable and large rare copper spears have been displayed together. Likely dating to the Late Archaic period (circa 1600 B.C.), they exhibit exceptional craftsmanship and artistic form. The spear on the far left, measuring 6 inches in length, was discovered in 2014 by Bryan Baker in a small niche along a rock shelter wall in Logan County, Kentucky. The center spear, measuring 8¼ inches, was found in 1961 by Buddy Scheidegger at the Crib Mound site in Spencer County, Indiana. The spear on the far right, the largest of the three at 9 inches, was found in 2017 by Aaron Bradford in Meade County, Kentucky. This particular form is highly unusual and extremely scarce, with only a handful of other known examples, including another from Crib Mound, one from Harrison County, Indiana, and one found by Aaron Bradford’s late father in the same vicinity as Aaron’s discovery.
