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.
That's beautiful! Is that a new find? Lovely, a great point. That basal thinning certainly looks like a flute, is the base ground? Is it thinned like that on both sides? Quartz does not show flaking well but none of my triangular points from southeastern MA have this flute-like feature. I think I see what looks like vague shoulders on this as well, it looks very much like a Hardaway-Dalton, and if the base is ground, it is not a Squibnocket point.
