Mercer is an archaeological treatise written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the discovery of a remarkable artifact known as the Lenape Stone, which features an intricate carving representing a battle between the native peoples of North America and a mammoth. The book addresses various controversies and discussions surrounding the stone’s authenticity and significance in the context of Native American history and culture. At the start of this publication, the author recounts the discovery of the Lenape Stone by a farmer named Barnard Hansell in Pennsylvania in 1872. Hansell initially found a large piece of the stone while plowing, and after some years, he discovered the smaller fragment nearby. Eventually, the stone captured the attention of local historians, who presented it to a wider audience, igniting discussions about its origins and implications for understanding the prehistoric presence of Native Americans alongside these colossal creatures. The opening sets the stage for a broader examination of the stone's carvings, which juxtapose indigenous life and the fearsome mammoth, thereby framing a narrative that explores themes of myth, memory, and the rich tapestry of tribal history.
