From the Smithsonian.com
I particularly like their quote from High Country News:
indigenous peoples in the United States often used cairns to cover and bury their dead.
So, can we quote the Smithsonian now?
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.
Interesting article, except stone constructions in the Southeast U.S. very rarely have anything to do with burials.
