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.

I am putting this in a comment though it should be its own post: never pass one structure assuming it is solitary. Instead hunt very carefully nearby. If I had followed this, one clue was already there when I passed the site on the way up the hill. But I ignored it.
ReplyDeleteBut after I did find the site, I started getting very careful and pushing myself out into the flat areas to the east. Complaining about pushing through the laurels but saying to myself "oh the things I do for science". Then I stumbled on the best mound of the day. So get really careful when you see a first structure.
