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.

This is a favorite place for me. There is a 19th century vaulted root cellar among the cellars and foundations across the street, the proximity of this obviously (relatively) recent stone root cellar in such close proximity to this corbeled chamber gives me pause. But there are other, more subtle features near and around the swamp there, too, that to me are suggestive of much earlier people. Certainly an enigmatic place.
ReplyDeleteWe see that often in Rhode Island -- multiple uses of the land over time. Consider this fact: That when the earliest settlers landed in Plimoth, they did not construct a new town from nothing. They very much used the village that was already there and converted it to their own uses. I suspected that took place all over New England for generations.
