Sacred Sites Or Something Else?
Author: Dan Whisenhunt Source: Anniston Star (AL)
Title: SACRED SITES OR SOMETHING ELSE?
More than 1,000 years ago, people walked the hills of what is now Calhoun County.
Most traces of them are gone, but the American Indians who called this land home left a few markers. Some are scattered on hilltops in the form of sacred mounds.
One pile of stones on a particular hilltop evokes the curved body of a snake. And there are formations with purposes unclear and at times in dispute. All of these sites are part of a slowly unfolding story, one archaeologists hope to tell by learning more about them … if development doesn't destroy these places first.
