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.

Note the author says the sites locations were not given, out of respect for the wishes of the local Native Americans.
This is contrary to what Doug Harris told us would be the official Indian opinion. In any case, I think keeping secrets is an extremely poor way to protect landscape and doing it serves purposes that are not entirely clear.
Peter,
I assure you I don't have any other purpose by not stating where everything is other than keeping them safe. Since covid, I've seen a lot of destruction to sites with more people actually out in the woods. There was a most beautiful and delicate linteled cairn I had visited for years in a small ceremonial site. The State put a new trail right by it, and within a month it was totally destroyed. They smashed it to bits, and I tell you it made me almost feel sick. Of course most destruction is to sites near or on trails - where the public knows where they are. There is nothing nefarious in my scheme.
