From what I've heard, bioturbation rates are about one inch per century. So if the stones are deeply buried, then one should reconsider whether the possible snake petroform is recent or ancient.Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560996385875773347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21010261.post-58049785018260946442009-02-26T17:48:00.000-05:002009-02-26T17:48:00.000-05:00good point.

It's amazing that something so commonly made within the last 100/150 yrs or so and we have so little (to none) information about why these piles were made.<BR/>keithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21010261.post-29430327190476907202009-02-26T05:13:00.000-05:002009-02-26T05:13:00.000-05:00Keith: looking at the height of the wall I think i...Keith: looking at the height of the wall I think it is fairly clear the stones were borrowed from the wall and, if this structure is deliberate, it was built more recently than the wall.pwaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647940752050937588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21010261.post-34853709392655006032009-02-25T18:23:00.000-05:002009-02-25T18:23:00.000-05:00i wonder. anything that close to a wall is very su...i wonder. anything that close to a wall is very supicious/ or achaeology damaged.
