Split Stone

Split Stones – Sometimes naturally formed, other times man-made, these rock features were used as “portals” so the Ancestors can join our world and return to theirs. 

These rock features are typically a large rock or boulder that has a “split” near the middle of the stone(s).  My research has shown that these rock structures are typically found in the older sites that date from the Archaic period to the Pleistocene period. 

I have also learned that some Split Stone structures have been found to have smaller stones that are “plugging” the center split in the stones.  Because not all Spirits that join our world have good intentions, if the tribes Medicine Man/Woman felt that a bad Spirit had caused calamity within the tribe, he/she would “plug” the split hole thereby blocking evil Spirits from causing any further issues.
