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.
Marker piles anyone?
ReplyDeleteI ask readers to look at the slope, how even it is and without bumps or dips. This is a STANDARD property of rock pile grids. When built on un-even ground, the heights of the piles are adjusted to compensate. Going out on a limb here, I conclude that this part of CA had eastern tribes.
ReplyDeleteWhich gets us into the question of the "Chinese Laborers" who supposedly built the stone walls in CA - as if being a laborer left you lots of time for physically demanding whimsey!
