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.

It is refreshing to read of an archaeologist who has read the ethnographic literature, is applying scientific methods to the investigation of a stone structure site, and open minded enough to consider a Native American explanation for stone cairns.
The article mentions the location of this site on a 60% slope on the upper reaches of the hillside. This is a common trait for West Virginia cairn sites.
There will be another article coming out sometime early next year on another group W.Va. cairn sites found on a state park. The state has surveyed, photographed, and documented these sites in some detail. We had an opportunity to consult on the site and were interviewed for a forthcoming article on them. I will post further information on rockpiles once the articles is published.

I came to the almost opposite conclusion.
