We are also reprinting two short articles by Dr. Guy Gibbon , director of the Dept. of Interdisciplinary Archaeological Studies at the University of Minnesota. The first is on the biotic provinces in this region and the second is an overview of the pre-contact people of Minnesota. And we have five articles by Kevin Callahan, and four site reports from Deborah Morse-Kahn , M.A., regional historian, Minnesota. Callahan begins with a general introduction to the rock art found in Minnesota followed by a commentary on the various images, a report on the Nett Lake site of northwestern Minnesota, a paper on the Fort Ransom Writing Rock in North Dakota, and an account of his own experiences with atlatls. Morse-Kahn presents four Reports from Southeastern Minnesota -an Introduction, the Fisk site, the Bluffs Rockshelters, and Reno cave.
