Stone Prayers: Native Constructions on the Eastern Seaboard

Sunday, May 26, 2019 at 3 PM – 4 PM

The Institute for American Indian Studies

38 Curtis Rd, Washington, Connecticut 06793

The Litchfield Hills Archaeology Club (LHAC) welcomes Dr. Curtiss Hoffman, Professor of Sociology and Anthropology at Bridgewater State College and Past President of Massachusetts Archaeological Society. Scattered throughout the woodlands and fields of the Eastern seaboard of the United States are tens of thousands of stone cultural features about which there has been much debate among archaeologists and antiquarians. Join Dr. Hoffman, who will discuss his recently published book, Stone Prayers: Native Constructions on the Eastern Seaboard, which provides support for the Native American origins of these stone features and traces how strong and vocal support from the region's indigenous communities has helped to preserve and protect these ceremonial sites.
