Illustrations for this booklet have been generously contributed by
several people. Robert Neuman, Louisiana State University, provided
photographs of Monk’s Mound (cover), a projectile point (p. 1), a vessel
from the Clarence H. Webb Collection (p. 2), a shell midden (p. 2), and
of excavation pits (p. 15). Debbie Woodiel, State Parks, gave permission
to use an illustration from her thesis (p. 5). The American Museum of
Natural History permitted reproduction of the Poverty Point site map (p.
1), and New Orleans East provided the illustration on page 13. All other
photographs are from the files at the Division of Archaeology, and have
been taken by staff archaeologists through the years.
