Summary "The Stone Age in North America, vol. 2 of 2" by Warren K. Moorehead is an archaeological encyclopedia written in the early 20th century. This extensive work explores the various implements, ornaments, and tools used by prehistoric tribes throughout North America, featuring over four hundred illustrations and more than three hundred full-page plates to support its findings. The text likely delves into the everyday life, cultural artifacts, and artistic expressions of these early inhabitants, making it a valuable resource for those interested in archaeology or indigenous history. The opening of this volume introduces the topic of ground stone artifacts, specifically focusing on effigies created by Native Americans. Moorehead discusses the intricate carvings made by aboriginal peoples, outlining their artistic expressions through depictions of animals, birds, and human forms. He notes the absence of certain natural elements in their carvings, such as plants or inanimate objects, and raises questions regarding the cultural significance of these artistic choices. The text sets the stage for a detailed examination of the different types of stone effigies found across North America, presenting an intriguing glimpse into the mind and world of prehistoric inhabitants.
