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.

Most mounds in the South (and I believe the Kolomoki Mound in the picture is in Georgia) are constructed of soil, yet here we see large blocks of stone. Unfortunately, the sign gives no indication how the mound was built. It would be nice to see a photo of the mound before it was torn apart, which might show how the stones were used.
ReplyDeleteThe large pile of rocks in the photo came from Mound E, and were excavated by William Sears in the 1940s. His report is widely available on Amazon.com. Many mounds in this part of GA do contain some rocks.
