Bison sculpture from the valley of
the Merrimack River, near Lawrence, Massachusetts. The style, and occurrence in a region
where megalithic chambers and dolmens occur, suggests comparison with
corresponding crude statues of bulls found in Spain and Portugal. Especially in the regions where Basque inscriptions,
written in ancient syllabic script, occur.
Fell (1982) stated that Professor Santos Junior has suggested that
these statues imply a former religious veneration for certain animals. (Photo Malcolm B. Pearson). |
