Dudderhouse Hill

Dudderhouse Hill

Neolithic and Bronze AgeThe Dudderhouse Hill long cairn has been designated a Scheduled Monument - the highest level of heritage protection available in England. The long cairn survives as a partly turf-covered oval mound of stones, about 23m (75ft) long, 12m (39m) wide and 1m (3ft) high. "It doesn't look particularly impressive and that's one of the problems," Paul Jeffery, Historic England's national listings manager, said. "Nearby, about 70m (230ft) away, there's a cairn where people have added stones over time. Unfortunately, because they don't realise that this is such an important site, some people walking past pick up stones from what they think is just this pile and then add them to the other cairn and obviously that causes harm."

Mistasiniy

Submitted by TheDruid-3X3 on Friday, 27 June 2025   (929 reads)

Mistasiniy

Natural PlacesA large glacial erratic deposited after the last ice age. The stone, thought to resemble a resting buffalo, is estimated to have weighed 400 tons and was a sacred site - not only to the Plains Cree, but to other First Nations who traversed the prairies. During the 1960s, when it became apparent the stone would be submerged by the rising waters of Lake Diefenbaker, efforts were made to save the mistasiniy. A long campaign led by the late Zenon S. Pohorecky, professor of anthropology and archaeology at the University of Saskatchewan, to move the rock to higher ground ultimately proved unsuccessful. Many believe a “quiet” decision was made to quell the lobby - on the morning of December 1, 1966, a crew from the PFRA (Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration) arrived with a reported 60 sticks of dynamite and reduced the millennia-old stone to rubble. This archive picture was taken with Tribal Elder Wilfred Tootoosis about a year before the stone was blown up.

Mesa Verde - Far View House

Pre-ColumbianA Chacoan style great house from the Pueblo 2 period (950 -1150 CE) in Colorado state. Like most great houses, it served as a community center for ritual and social activities. It was also possibly used as a central storage point for harvested produce. The people lived in room blocks in small villages dispersed around the great house. There were at least 50 villages in Far View, of which a handful have been excavated and restored and can be visited today.

Edge of the Cedars State Park and Museum

Pre-ColumbianAn Ancestral Puebloan archaeological site in Blanding, Utah including a museum, and archaeological repository. Cowboys from the nearby town of Bluff camped there in the late 19th century and called the site Edge of the Cedars because it sits on the edge of a natural boundary, separating a heavily forested region and a treeless landscape to the south. Cedar is a term locals use for the Utah juniper tree.

The museum here has one of the most extensive repositories of pottery and ceramics from the Pueblo period and earlier. Stonetracker has kindly posted several videos of his visit, view from the comments section of our page

Fossilized Footprints - White Sands National Park

Fossilized Footprints - White Sands National Park

Mesolithic, Palaeolithic and EarlierFor 80 years, only a small collection of fossilized footprints were known to exist at White Sands. However, in 2006, a group of scientists noticed dark spots dotting the expanse of the lakebed that appeared to be footprints. Their curiosities lead them to dig up these dark spots in 2009. This led to the discovery of both Harlan’s ground sloth and human footprints.

New dating confirms White Sands footprints in New Mexico are 23,000 years old - pushing the date of human arrival in the Americas earlier, more on our page.
