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.
