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.
Gosh, that made my blood boil. Of course, I agreed with the greater portion highlighting the flaws in the various diffusionist theories. But the article was so off-handedly dismissive of Native American theories without providing even a smidgen of rhyme or reason -- no references, no explanations, no nothing -- as though we're merely to take the author's word for it that Native Americans had nothing to do with any of these structures. Calling America's Stonehenge, "the ruins of an old homestead," was positively laughable.
