520 "Decorated stone artifacts are a significant part of
archaeological studies of Native Americans in the
Northeast. The artifacts illuminated in Amulets, Effigies,
Fetishes, and Charms: Native American Artifacts and Spirit
Stones from the Northeast include pecked, sculpted, or
incised figures, images, or symbols. These are rendered on
pebbles, plaques, pendants, axes, pestles, and atlatl
weights, andare of varying sizes, shapes, and designs.
Lenik draws from Indian myths and legends and incorporates
data from ethnohistoric and archaeological sources
together with local environmental settings in an attempt
to interpret the iconography of these fascinating relics.
For the Algonquian and Iroquois peoples, they reflect
identity, status, and social relationships with other
Indians as well as beings in the spirit world. Lenik
begins with background on the Indian cultures of the
Northeast and includes a discussion of the dating system
developed by anthropologists to describe prehistory. The
heart of the content comprises more than eighty examples
of portable rock art, grouped by recurring design motifs.
This organization allows for in-depth analysis of each
motif. The motifs examined range from people, animals,
fish, and insects to geometric and abstract designs.
Information for each object is presented in succinct prose,
with a description, illustration, possible interpretation,
the story of its discovery, and the location where it is
now housed. Lenik also offers insight into the culture and
lifestyle of the Native American groups represented. An
appendix listing places to see and learn more about the
artifacts and a glossary are included. The material in
this book, used in conjunction with Lenik's previous
research, offers a reference for virtually every known
example of northeastern rock art. Archaeologists, students,
and connoisseurs of Indian artistic expression will find
this an invaluable work."--Publisher's website.
