On the Cover: The Corn Woman Effigy Pipe was found in Desha County, Arkansas, about 1970 by Harvey McGee. Most experts agree that this pipe was manufactured in the Cahokia Mounds area in Madison County, Illinois, and was exported to other important Mississippian centers. It is 7 1/2 inches tall and 7 1/2 inches long. From the collection of Dr. Kent Westbrook. This artifact was chosen by our Arkansas society to represent Arkansas on our cover.
