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.

Southwest of Peppercorn Hill, Upton MA (part 2)
On the way back, just before getting to the power lines, I saw this short stretch of stone wall:Uphill from this were split-filled rocks, rock-on-a-crack, and many of the kinds of small ceremonies I found everywhere else on the hillside. Except this part was a bit more intense. Rock-on-rocks and small rock piles, right on up and out to the edge of the power lines (middle blue outline on the map fragment).Sort of a forlorn look to these piles:Then came the piece de resistance.
