More elements from Laughing Brook in Massachusetts. A huge split boulder with a tree where the wedge would be.






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.

The third picture of a pair of rocks on top of a boulder may be something damaged or may be deliberately placed that way. I saw enough of that pattern of "crossed pairs" to give it a name. This might be worth checking out:

Do you think there is any basis for comparison?
Yes, I do see what you mean. I didn't look at it that way until you pointed it out. I got the feeling that several features interacted at this site. There was also a contorted tree at one edge of that area. I'm not completely convinced that those trees have something to do with it, but they occur near sites so frequently . . .
