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.

You can see the ceremonial stuff down in the valley, as circled on the Lidar. It is where the wall follows the landscape.
What I find most interesting about this site is that it is located about 0.5 km AWAY FROM Tom Paul's Hammonasset Line. I've long wondered just how wide that line actually is, or if the sites Tom has found along it are just where he's looked for them along the line. "Show me the 126 dinosaurs in Jurassic Park."
It is a pleasant story but I will bet that someone energetic could walk any straight line through deep Connecticut woods and hit large number of sites. In my experience, sites are *everywhere*.
That's a testable proposition - and it ought to be tested! You yourself have demonstrated the absence of these sites in locations suitable for agriculture in your area.
The correct way to test the hypothesis is to define a search grid area and be completely systematic about the sampling.
I guess the irony is that those who know how to test the hypothesis have little interest in the hypothesis and those who promote the hypothesis seem to not have any interest in testing it.
I agree with the methodology, but I am also interested in testing it - but it's too far for me to accomplish. It would be better for the local CT folks to do this!
