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.

Bottom right hand corner: do those small boulders/large cobbles (and the other stones) sit in a bowl-like depression of the, I guess you could say, the "supporting boulder" - or is the old spelling "bowlder" a better word.
Yes. It looks like the support boulder has what FFC calls a "bowl pop" meaning one huge flake removed leaving a bowl-like depression. It looks to have pretty sharp edges, so presumably is manufactured that way.
FFC thinks fire on the rock, followed by rapid cooling might be how this was done.
