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.

Teaser Pix
Could not resist revisiting the "Soon Come" place - rather than trying to find it again in the rain.
A few teaser pix until I have enough time to do it justice by writing it all up...
This former farm land, possibly part of what is now a former dairy but now the home base of a fleet of those big milk trucks that resemble oil trucks or swimming pool water trucks etc. This stone is inside the inland wetlands boundary of an Industrial park, anciently bounded by zigzag stone rows...
Wonderful find! It reminds me of the grinding bowl found by the Highland Boy, and described and illustrated in detail on his blog.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the base is rhyolite "quarry" rock? any quarries around?

ReplyDeleteOh yeah, it's probably quartzite...
