The interesting discoveries in northern Alabama of a series of mounds which can be attributed to the Hopewellian Phase have focused attention on the copper reel-shaped gorgets. Webb refers to one such in the National Museum that was sent in by a resident of Portsmouth, Ohio. It is possible that this is the copper reel-shaped gorget mentioned by Rau that came to the National Museum from the Hopewell group in Greenup County, Kentucky, opposite the mouth of the Scioto. The donor, a Mr. W. Kinney of Portsmouth, Ohio, reported that “On one occasion half a bushel of these ornaments was found in the same mound and sent to the smelter.” A possible reel-shaped gorget or modified breast plate came from an Adena-Hopewell mound near Mt. Sterling, Montgomery County, Kentucky, and has been described by Putnam. In the same publication a brief report is made on the finds from a mound in Franklin, Williamson County, Tennessee. This description suggests a Hopewellian affinity.

Resource Program

In 1972 a program was developed in Montgomery County Public Schools, Maryland, to provide daily resource remediation to elementary school-age children with language handicaps. In accord with the Maryland’s guidelines for language and speech disabilities, the general goal of the program was to provide remediation that enabled children with language problems to increase their abilities in the comprehension or production of oral language. Although self-contained language classrooms and itinerant speech-language pathology programs existed, the resource program was designed to fill a gap in the continuum of services provided by the speech and language department.

The City

Ras a1 Khaimah is the most northerly of the seven states comprising the United Arab Emirates and its Ruler, H. H. Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammad al-Qasimi, is keenly interested in the history of the state and its people. Survey carried out there jointly with Dr D. B. Doe in 1968 had focused attention on the site of JuIfar which lies just north of the present town of Ras a1 Khaimah (de Cardi, 1971, 230-2). Julfar was in existence in Abbasid times and its importance as an entrep6t during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries-the Portuguese Period-is reflected by the quantity and variety of imported wares to be found among the ruins of the city. Most of the sites discovered during the survey dated from that period but a group of cairns near Ghalilah and some long gabled graves in the Shimal area to the north-east of the date-groves behind Ras a1 Khaimah (map, FIG. I) clearly represented a more distant past.
