The piece beautifully captures the deeper spiritual dimension that inspires our work and gives it energy:

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.

There was one part of this I did not like, the attitude that science is at fault, failing to recognize Native spirituality. I think they are accusing "bad science" and tarring real science with the same brush. I wrote them:
ReplyDeleteI am happy to add a link to this fine bit of writing. But I protest the anti-science remarks made in response to Mr Singleton. Mr Singleton is not a scientist and conventional Massachusetts archeological ""wisdom" is not science either. There is a growing body of very scientific data showing that Native Americans built stone structures for ceremony and practical reasons, including astronomy, burial, hunting, vision quest, memorial, etc.
So, while Massachusetts archeologists and people like Singleton catch up with the facts on the ground and the growing body of real science, PLEASE do not support a negative view of science. Real science is your friend.
