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.

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
