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.
This is a marker pile site that has seen a lot of use and it will take a while for them to figure out. The site is called "unique" but it is probably the most common type of site in Massachusetts.
If I am not mistaken, Steve DiMarzo had thoroughly documented over 1300 structures at this site, and continues to do so. The Gages have published a book on the site, "Land of 1,000 Cairns". There are more than "marker piles" there!
Steve has taken GPS readings on each structure. There are indeed several separate sites there, at least as I define sites (structures more than 100 meters apart would be in a separate site).

ReplyDeleteYes you are right. But I do see marker piles in there and suspect it is a composite of many separate sites.
