Fort Ancient The Great Prehistoric Earthwork of Warren County
Ohio - Moorehead |
|
In this publication,
Moorehead presents a more refined version of his original 1898 work
on Fort Ancient. "On a
slightly rolling plateau in Warren County, Ohio, overlooking the
beautiful valley of the Little Miami river, is situated Fort
Ancient, the greatest of all prehistoric earthworks in the
Mississippi basin.
This plateau is remarkable in its configuration. There is nothing
precisely like it to be found in the Ohio valley, so far as the
writer's observation extends. The plateau is cut up irregularly by
ravines, and although none are of great length, yet all of them are
precipitous and attain their depth within a few hundred yards from
the beginning of their erosion ... The distance around the inclosure
(following the center of the embankment) is 18,712.2 feet." (Warren
K. Moorehead, 1908). This 6-1/2" x 8-1/2", 142 page, soft cover, facsimile reprint
is illustrated with 41 plates - 2 of which are
foldout map and diagram. $14.95 |

Survey of Ohio Fluted Points |
|
The fluted point
survey undertaken by Olaf H. Prufer of the Cleveland Museum of
Natural History was conducted between 1960 and
1964 with a total of 10 small volumes produced over that period.
Fluted points were made available for the survey from both museum
and private collections. The introductions to
the volumes contain a wealth of information concerning fluting, raw
materials, glacial presence in Ohio, paleo encampments sites in
Ohio, etc.
Descriptive data for these points includes: Owner of specimen,
where, when and who found the specimen, raw material type and color,
length, width, thickness, number and length of fluting, basal
grinding, basal nipple presence, etc. There is also a sketch
for each point and each volume has a map of Ohio counties showing
the number of points from each county that were included in the
survey. As many of these
originals haven't survived the past 50 years we were extremely fortunate
in acquiring a full set for republication. We are indebted,
again, to Larry Conrad of the Western Illinois University
Archaeological Research Laboratory for his help in obtaining a
complete set of the rare originals. This 6-1/2" x 9-1/2", soft cover,
