How white guys reconstruct rock piles.

Around 1:58 in this video it shows a "burial mound" rock pile, that was excavated and then "reconstructed".

I never saw a rock pile built like that. Or, look at this one (from guideofgreece.com):

With some authority I claim Indians usually stacked stones on top of each other. In particular, you never see a paved dome. It reminds me of another (from M. Gage):

So, it seems likely this is the appearance of a fake rock pile.

Proud of my Desktop

That is "Soutrean" blades on the top row, as well as broken bi-points and a rounded base in the second row. All from the Las Vegas area. The material is Jasper, with Carnelian on the upper right. The bottom row includes the arrowhead I just found in southern MA, made from Argillite, and three Quartz blades from coastal RI. Black and white.

I am excited about finding one arrowhead

But unlike the Germans (of previous post) it is because I have not found one in a month. Here it is. After examination, I decided it is an asymmetric shouldered point. Kind of a "Merrimack". Or a "Narragansett" in my vocabulary. It is like the smaller quartz points and is broader and flatter. But I think it is still that kind of shape.

Germans are excited by finding one arrowhead

I continue to be puzzled by the observation that Europe has almost no arrowheads. Here, a single one is considered an outstanding discovery:

 Looks like a face, looking out into the water. Seems kind of deliberate.

The Fort Sage Drift Fence

A stone wall north of Reno Nevada, somehow is date-able as 3K years old. 

Question: What do they know out there that, somehow, eludes our New England "experts"?

Visit a 3,000 year old abandoned prehistoric structure that nobody talks about – near Reno, Nevada!

Answer: They find arrowheads along the wall.
