An interesting feature from the Miner Farm that I had not seen before.

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.

Here I go again:
ReplyDeleteIs that a beak or eyes on a retracted turtle head, right leg still there (and maybe a stone tool as well) with the other leg now missing?
What is that? I can see why Tim M. asks his question. But could you describe this a little? A hollowed out rock propped up on...? The upper rock looks as if it might have been shaped.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I thought the photo was pretty self-explanatory.
ReplyDeleteIt's a small flat-topped boulder, and positioned on top of it is a large rock that has a concave bottom. The rusty coloration of the concavity suggests the possible presence of hematite.
The hollow of the concavity shelters a smaller rock of dark coloration and some kind of unqiue metamorphic composition.
Is it a turtle? Has any of it been shaped? I wouldn't want to speculate.
