A Google user found this site today, searching on the phrase "why did early americans pile rocks on garbage pits".
Makes me wonder: where the heck did they get that idea? Anyone know?
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.
Not sure about your question, but reminded me of "wolf stones," placed over early graves to keep wolves from digging them up. I always believed the colonists took that idea from the Indians.
