Our Corporate Logo - The Gaitskill Tablet
The CRAI corporate logo is adapted from a prehistoric design found on a stone tablet recovered from the Gaitskill Mound (circa 1900) in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky. William S. Webb and W.D. Funkhouser first described the tablet in 1932. Tablets such as these are associated with the Adena cultural complex, located along the Ohio River Valley during the early Middle Woodland time period (ca. 500 B.C. - A.D. 200).
