Ancient Hunting Walls in the Colorado Mountains

I was struck by the feature of a "seat" at the end of a wall. Here, the "seat" is where the hunters waited in hiding. We have such walls and seats here, in New England, but tend to imagine it is for sky-watching, not game hunting.

  2. Of course, Professor Thorson would most likely have noticed the similarity to "The Distinctively Basque Stone Shelters of California’s White Mountains," near stonewalls in Chile that were "remarkably similar to those I’d seen in the lowland hills of interior New England." https://wakinguponturtleisland.blogspot.com/2022/05/stone-shelters-in-sierras-and-new.html
