Frank also showed me some nice propped boulders and other features along Snake Meadow Brook:

Here is one from various directions. One side:

A wedged rock "altar":
I'll show some other features in a subsequent post.
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.

Frank's photos of the pedestaled boulder are fascinating. As for the heavily fractured stone underneath one of the support stones, I would assume it began to fracture AFTER the support stone was placed. But what kind of stone is underneath that fractured like that?
It seemed like a kind of gneiss, re-metamorphosed granite that was a little sparkly.
I meant simply: metamorphosed (no "re-")
