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.
The wall in the foreground is not connected to the walls in the background. There is a total of 11 walls, parallel to each other, that are constructed up the hill. A couple of dozen stone piles are in the area. The primary wall in the pic ends at a small springfed stream (1’ wide) and to the right in the pic. The opinion of archaeologists in Georgia has improved in the last 20 years, in favor of the walls. Theses sites are being investigated and they are being avoided, or incorporated into development plans, not destroyed.
Seems more rectangular than "serpent-y".
ReplyDeleteHow to Southern archaeologist classify those walls?
