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.
Reader Alf writes:
These piles are located in Western North Carolina mountains.
I count 20 rock piles. 6 to 8 are still in good shape. Covered in moss and leaves and vegetation, the top center kind of sunk in or receded. The piles are about 3 feet tall and maybe 8 feet in diameter. Some of the piles seem to be in a line. The 20 piles cover a couple or maybe 3 acres of space.

Sacred Stones & Trail Trees: Littleton’s Hidden Sacred-Shamanic Landscape
April 28, 2:00 pm, Littleton Library
By the Nashobah CSL Team: Strong Bear Medicine, Dan Boudillion, and Kevin Gallant
Sponsored by the Littleton Historical Society
Please see attached flyer (courtesy of Friends of Pine Hawk).
This is a unique talk. Most Native stones presentations are given with the assumption of the antiquity of the constructions. But in this talk, we’ll be focusing on Native constructions in Nashobah that can be dated as not-before the 1820s. This is new information, first presented here.
We’ll also be sharing the Native-ways on how to act around Native ceremonial structures. Learn to walk these sites – of any antiquity – the same as a Native American would.
