[Louis A. Brennan et al. (1962)] Mecca. Stones believed impressed with the footprint of Gautama Buddha were considered sacred. Whole mountains such as the Greek Mount Olympus is an example of the ancient belie f in the residence of the gods. Gems, such as the sapphire and emerald have been reputed to bring good luck and health, the power to cure disease, eyestrain, snakebite, and predict the future. Contemporaneously, who has not heard of the virtues bestowed by Ireland's renowned Blarney Stone? Conclusion This paper invites further conjecture on other undefined, problematical objects under continued discussion and research. At present, direct and conclusive evidence clarifying the significance of fossil recoveries from coastal New York habitation and burial sites is non-existent. However, by virtue of their wide-spread occurrence, some in direct association with human skeletal remains, they can be regarded as more than fortuitous intrusions or aboriginal possessions of simple oddities. The fossils recovered at the Archery Range site imply special significance to the author, their being material culture constituents recovered from a concentrated burial area exhibiting a unique ceremonial complex for southern coastal New York. 1.
