[There is plenty of digging and dating, but do not hold you breath: no solid conclusions]
As I read the linked to pdf (you can click on it from within the above link) where the author reviews a large number of wonderful sites and concludes they are not from field clearing but rather from temporary staging for later sale of rocks, I am disappointed. It is largely an exercise in assumptions.

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.

Perhaps I am wrong but I get a strong sense that raw observation is secondary to applying truisms. For example "historic rock piles are not interesting".
