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.

Interesting are the numerous mention of stone walls, and in one excerpt from the 1760s an "old stone wall." I always thought that colonial stone walls began to be built in the 1800s, and before then the colonial farmers constructed rail fences. But I guess where stone was plentiful, stone walls were built, too.
ReplyDeleteI almost felt the author was suffering some confusion trying to match these quotes about "old stone wall" and the land deeds they relate to, with Thorson's all inclusive agricultural uses.
