It is hard to escape the sense that there is more archaeology visible on the surface in the Arctic than will ever be comprehended by anyone:

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.

I should say that my eye sees lots of out of place rocks in this scene. EG the central boulder, with a necklace of smaller boulders around it.
ReplyDeleteTo me, many of the rocks poking above the horizon or standing up awkwardly, appear manipulated.
Another example: just left of center there is a lighter colored rock propped up and in a line with some other rocks of a similar size. Well, that lighter color comes from the belly of the rock being less exposed to weathering and lichen growth. That rock got propped up on end.
ReplyDeleteHere is another interesting thing: I was looking to spot all the "white belly" rocks in the picture, that have been turned so their bottom's are visible, as lighter colored.
ReplyDeleteI would not have noticed it otherwise but those boulder's on the horizon frequently have a light colored -something- at their base.
I urge the reader to take a few moments looking carefully at the scene (right click to magnify). It is pretty busy for the middle of nowhere in the Arctic. I wonder if there are Cree families who do not consider this remote?
