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.

Headed to the shore today myself - and lately thinking about possible clam gardens in the NE (http://wakinguponturtleisland.blogspot.com/2015/06/obeds-hammock-and-clam-gardens.html)
- I came across this "Curious Monuments of the Simplest Kind: Shell
Midden Archaeology in Massachusetts" http://scholarworks.umass.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1066&context=dissertations_2
I had just found something else describing circular or U-shaped middens, possibly a clue to a clam garden, shells instead of stones: http://deweesislandblog.com/2011/01/20/more-about-shell-middens-archives-talk-saturday/#sthash.K8W1jgec.hia7JJZb.dpbs
Footnote #5 (curious monuments pdf) mentions stones on a boulder, potential ceremonial stone landscape (page 31).
Interesting comments in that dissertation ("Curious Monuments of the Simplest Kind") , from page 31 to the end of the chapter. Worth having a link to it.
I found I couldn't just "cut and paste" from that Curious Paper, to take notes or create a post the "easy way." But it's very interesting with it's analogies to stone piles and structures - and also mentions Curt Hoffman.
