Talking Bones: Secrets of Indian Burial Mounds

Talking Bones: Secrets of Indian Burial Mounds

William O. Steele
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Who built the awesome burial mounds in eastern America? Early settlers were sure they had been built by a mysterious race of mound builders from across the seas, but archaeologists have since discovered that they are the graveyards of prehistoric American Indians.
By uncovering the mounds and studying their "talking bones," archaeologists have reconstructed the lifestyles and customs of several Indian tribes. Skeletons tell what kinds of food these Indians ate. Beads and ornaments describe the rituals they held sacred. Pots, tools, and weapons tell whether the tribes were farmers or warriors.
William O. Steele's text, together with Carlos Llerena-Aguirre's striking drawings, captures the drama, beauty, and ritual of these long-vanished cultures.
