"Some people believe there are other landscape artifacts nearby which are more likely to be authenticated, such as an arc-shaped stone pile matching a placement found near Alpena, and the "Circle of Chiefs," a smaller rock circle."

"A theory was put forth that this arrangement was constructed well over a thousand years ago, by people who preceded the Native Americans of historical time."

Who do you suppose they mean?

I suppose this is the European insistence on the "tribe" concept and that this statement reflects a sense that the tribes have been shuffled around a lot in the last 1500 years. It also means that modern day Indians usually deny knowledge of who built the rock piles.
