What are people's interpretations of ceremoniously placing these tools in the cracks of the stone wall? (were they placed up-right, like an effigy of some sort?)
Thanks,

Peter Waksman found what looked like a small plummet in a wall near or in Concord, MA; and I was with a group in Rochester, VT, when a member found a slate gorget resting on a stone in a large cairn or mound. Such discoveries are important. Do we know where the projectile points were found specifically?
That is very interesting about the slate gorget.
I cannot imagine seeing such an item and not collecting it. But you know...
The plummet was found by someone else in the stones of a small "chamber" I found in Lincoln. I have forgotten whether or not we put it back after taking pictures.
Very interesting! I wonder why those tools were specifically placed in those spots, in niches in walls & chambers, etc. There had to have been some kind of ceremonial significance.

How about these toward the end of http://wakinguponturtleisland.blogspot.com/2014/07/walking-along-some-walls-in-westbrook-ct.html? A possible shaft abrader or two, a grinding slick along a row of stones?
