Amulets, Effigies, Fetishes, and Charms : Native American Artifacts and Spirit Stones from the Northeast / by Lenik, Edward J.,1932-Author(DLC)n 96065672 ;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 163-174) and index.Northeastern cultural history -- Anthropomorphic or human images -- Terrestrial mammals -- Fish, shellfish, and sea mammals -- Reptiles and amphibians -- Birds and insects -- Geometric and abstract designs -- Retrospective summary: marking places and things -- Appendix: seeing portable rock art.Rounds out Edward J. Lenik's comprehensive and expert study of the rock art of northeastern Native Americans Decorated stone artifacts are a significant part of archaeological studies of Native Americans in the Northeast. The artifacts illuminated in Amulets, Effigies, Fetishes, and Charms: Native American Artifacts and Spirit Stones from the Northeast include pecked, sculpted, or incised figures, images, or symbols. These are rendered on pebbles, plaques, pendants, axes, pestles, and atlatl weights, and are of varying sizes, shapes, and designs. Lenik draws from Indian myths and legends and incorporates data from ethnohistoric and archaeological sources together with local environmental settings in an attempt to interpret the iconography of these fascinating relics. For the Algonquian and Iroquois peoples, they reflect identity, status, and social relationships with other Indians as well as beings in the spirit world. Lenik begins with background on the Indian cultures of the Northeast and includes a discussion of the dating system developed by anthropologists to describe prehistory. The heart of the content comprises more than eighty examples of portable rock art, grouped by recurring design motifs. This organization allows for in-depth analysis of each motif. The motifs examined range from people, animals, fish, and insects to geometric and abstract designs. Information for each object is presented in succinct prose, with a description, illustration, possible interpretation, the story of its discovery, and the location where it is now housed. Lenik also offers insight into the culture and lifestyle of the Native American groups represented. An appendix listing places to see and learn more about the artifacts and a glossary are included. The material in this book, used in conjunction with Lenik's previous research, offers a reference for virtually every known example of northeastern rock art. Archaeologists, students, and connoisseurs of Indian artistic expression will find this an invaluable work.

AVP : Alien vs. Predator [videorecording] /

Director of photography, David Johnson ; editor, Alexander Berner ; music, Harold Kloser ; costume designer, Magali Guidasci ; creature effects designers/creators, Alec Gillis, Tom Woodruff Jr. ; visual effects supervisor, John Bruno.Sanaa Lathan, Raoul Bova, Lance Henriksen, Ewen Bremner.Earth, early 21st century. Charles Weyland, an industrialist billionaire, leads an archaeological expedition to Antarctica. Using thermal imaging satellites, Weyland believes he has discovered the ruins of an ancient pyramid temple buried under the ice that predates the Egyptian and Aztec pyramids. Once inside, the team finds the remains of humans with holes in the rib cage and the remains of facehuggers. The possibility that the temple is uninhabited is very unlikely. To make matters worse, a group of teenage Predators are coming to the temple to perform a coming-of-age ritual that involves fighting to the death with the Aliens. Soon, it becomes clear that only one species is getting out alive.MPAA rating: PG-13Blu-ray Disc, widescreen (2.35:1) presentation; DTS HD 5.1 Master Lossless, Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, MPEG2@18MBPS, 50GB, dual-layer, 1080p High Definition.; Blu-ray disc for use only with Blu-ray disc players, Blue-ray disc computer drives and Playstation 3 game consoles.
