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.

Small Standing Stone from North Smithfield, RI
Reader Jeannine writes:
This sits all by itself on a little dry area mostly surrounded by swamps and a stream....It sits about a foot tall.
I know that Mavor considered the double pointed tip of such a standing stone to be important. He likened it to the hats worn by jesters\sacred clowns in the Hopi ceremony.
