Book Description
Challenging traditional and long-standing understandings, this volume provides an important new lens for interpreting stone structures that had previously been attributed to settler colonialism. Instead, the contributors to this volume argue that these locations are sacred Indigenous sites. This volume introduces readers to eastern North America’s Indigenous ceremonial stone landscapes (CSLs)—sacred sites whose principal identifying characteristics are built stone structures that cluster within specific physical landscapes. Our Hidden Landscapes presents these often unrecognized sites as significant cultural landscapes in need of protection and preservation. In this book, Native American authors provide perspectives on the cultural meaning and significance of CSLs and their characteristics, while professional archaeologists and anthropologists provide a variety of approaches for better understanding, protecting, and preserving them. The chapters present overwhelming evidence in the form of oral tradition, historic documentation, ethnographies, and archaeological research that these important sites created and used by Indigenous peoples are deserving of protection. This work enables archaeologists, historians, conservationists, foresters, and members of the general public to recognize these important ritual sites.

Book Description
It is hard to imagine that the most controversial subject in 21st century northeastern archaeology concerns rock piles found on historic farm lands. Yet, rock piles are at the heart of a contentious debate about their cultural affiliation, purpose, and age. Are they agricultural field clearing piles or Indigenous ceremonial features? The short answer is some are the byproduct agricultural activities while others were intentionally built as an expression of Indigenous spiritual beliefs. How do we distinguish between the two? In order to answer that question, it is necessary to have a solid historical and scientific understanding of field clearing practices in northeastern United States. Using farm manuals and 19th century agricultural journals, this book delves into the surprisingly complex topic of stone removal and disposal practices on farms in northeastern United States and beyond. It establishes some basic criteria for identifying clearing piles. Groups of Indigenous stone features including rock piles / cairns have survived on unfarmed lands and old pastures. They have largely been misidentified as field clearing piles and attributed to efforts to improve soil quality. However, new research shows that permanent pastures were rarely, if ever, cleared of stones. 19th century farmers had a solid understanding of why their pastures were being degraded and the solutions they needed to fix them. None of those solutions involved stone removal. This book draws together in a single volume over a decade of intensive research into an obscure but critically important topic in historic archaeology. Agricultural field clearing features are not considered archaeological significant. Ceremonial landscapes (traditional cultural properties) are considered culturally sensitive sites. Distinguishing between the two is an important task.
