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.

Comment that this is an example of a prominent boulder with what seems like radiating lines of small rock piles and smaller rocks. We just saw this at the interchange of 495 and 90. Another example that comes to mind is behind the Rod and Gun club in Sterling.
Many similar sites at Wildcat Hill in Ashland.
Peter -
Can you be a little more precise about where this is located? You recently posted about a site on the southeast side of the interchange, near the Sudbury River. Is this the same site?
I am comparing this site to two others. One at the Interchage in Hopkinton, I blogged about a couple weeks ago; the other behind the Rod and Gun club.
THIS site, a 3rd example, is on the upper Law's Brook in Ashburham/ Westminster. I'll give details later.
I may have confused the Rod & Gun Club site with the one at the intersection. According to my maps, the Rod & Gun Club is off Fruit St. in Hopkinton, not far from the I-495/I-90 intersection, and that's the site I recorded there. If that's right, then where is the other site at the interchange?
NO: Rod and Gun Club in Sterling; Interchange in Hopkinton; THIS site is in Ashburnham. I probably never blogger Stirling. I'll email you a map for that one.
