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.

Nice find!
ReplyDeleteFunny thing: I was just thinking a conversation with the state archeologist about stone rows around here that divert water, prevent flooding etc. that I thought might have origins in the irrigation by the Hohokam people out west (Pheonix still uses parts of the H-irrigation system to supply water to the city), and the introduction of corn technology around here and being told there was no "dire need" around here for that sort of thing. My town just spent a ton of money to prevent the river from washing someone's house away, thinking they might have a different opinion on "no dire need."
I've pondered stone rows and piles as being heat storage sources for early planting,especially with the last few morning's frost; I never thinking about them as possible "mulch," but now I wonder...
