Notes


Sacred Art of the Algonkians is a detailed study of the Peterborough Petroglyphs, the extensive complex of more than 900 images carved into  limestone north of Peterborough, Ontario. Drawing on archaeology, anthropology, and comparative ethnography, Joan M. Vastokas and Romas K. Vastokas examine the site as both a physical place and a ceremonial landscape rooted in Algonkian belief systems.
