Abstract
A Long-Nosed God mask from the surface of a Mill Creek site in northwest Iowa is described and discussed in the light of previous discoveries. It is found that the Iowa mask (I) expands the distribution of this already widespread artistic expression, (2) underscores the degree and intensity of Mississippian-Mitt Creek connections, (3) tends to confirm the long-held supposition that Mill Creek exchanges with the Mississippian heartlands involved ideology as well as technology and material goods, and (4) supports the hypothesis that there are distinct Long-Nosed God and Southern Cult “horizons” on the northern portion of the Prairie Peninsula.
