Abstract

"Our Hidden Landscapes: Indigenous Stone Ceremonial Sites in Eastern North America" is a collection of papers edited by Lucianne Lavin and Elaine Thomas that explores the spiritual and cultural significance of stacked stone features in Native American cultures. The book presents a variety of perspectives, including those of Native authors, archaeologists, and amateur archaeologists. The authors argue that these stone features, found throughout North America, are of Native origin and should be recognized and preserved. The book provides detailed descriptions, photographs, and historical accounts of these ceremonial stone landscapes, offering valuable insights into their use and significance.
