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.

So horrible to read about the destruction of these sacred structures, we need to save what is left- what is weird though is that if they are not being obliterated from development they are obscured by saplings popping up with-in the past 60 years and underbrush, which would have been anually burned by Native people- as somebody with some Native ancestry myself I sometimes think that white people (in general) have yet to learn how to actually manage the landscape, despite modern conservation efforts- it's like most people have never learned yet where they actually live, and when I look around I see no effort from people to do so (and why would they, after all.)

It would be very interesting to see whether this group's data is identical to what I have gathered from that area, or if each of our projects has sites the other does not have. I have just written to them suggesting that we might share data.
