This is about rock piles and stone mound sites in New England. A balance is needed between keeping them secret and making them public. Also arrowheads, stone tools and other surface archaeology.

Trash Dump Details
OK, I guess this was last summer that I found the site described in the previous post. At the time I was very impressed with the trash dump. Here is a detail of the platform pile right next to a bit of rusted bucket. Here is a detail of that trash - but it is not a bucket. You can see it is closed at the larger end, a shape more reminiscent of a "tankard" than a bucket. That seems like it should be a datable artifact. The same goes for this cast iron stove-top. I particularly liked this and dug it up out of the leaves to get a better photo.
