Stone Prayers: Native American Constructions for the Eastern Seaboard Hoffman, Curtiss (Non-fiction)
Scattered throughout the woodlands and fields of the eastern seaboard of the United States
and Canada are tens of thousands of stone monuments. These stone constructions have
been the subject of debate among archaeologists and antiquarians for the past seventy-five
years. Prominent among the competing hypotheses have been the allegations that all of
these structures were built by colonial farmers removing rocks from their fields; or that they
were built by pre-Columbian transatlantic voyagers; or that they are the result of natural
deposition by glaciers or downslope erosion; or that they were constructed as sacred
places by the indigenous peoples of the region. The latter hypothesis has gained
significant attention over the past decade, as the result of strong and vocal support from
the regional descendant indigenous communities for the preservation of these monuments,
called by them "stone prayers," from encroachment and desecration by development
interests. The purpose of this book is to provide quantitative support for the indigenous
construction hypothesis, by providing a framework firmly and explicitly situated in the
scientific method to test the four hypotheses above against a robust set of data--a total of
5,550 sites from the entire region.
