Home - Tools 1 - Tools 2 - Tools 3 Rock Carvings: Rock art that has religious symbolism is usually found in remote hidden places while other art, especially rock carvings of footprints are found close to the old trails. Footprint Rock in Johnson County Illinois is one of the best known sites, but footprints are found in other places. It's believed that some were formed when an Indian had stepped in mud that later hardened into rock, but most were purposely made. Archaeologists aren't sure what the footprints represent, but they're found along the same ancient trails of many of the stone forts of the Shawnee Hills of Johnson County Illinois. More about ancient Indian stone forts on the Articles Page. |
