There is a little bit about rock piles but I found the interview interesting. For example:
"...In 1916 they tell that right on that Peace River hill, where Twelve-Foot Davis’ grave is, there were a hundred and fifty teepees. After 1918, there was nobody left. ..."

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.

The herb parts were especially interesting for me. I wonder to what extent herbs were connected with stones. Did stones get put near stands of good plants? Did special plants like bloodroot and others used for ritual get planted near stone sites? So many questions and no way to answer them . . .
ReplyDeleteI think there was a quote somewhere back in the archive about rock piles being placed near important plant resources.
