Native American Artifacts from Snake Meadow Hill
(Continued)
Then, in the row, I found a more traditional rock pile.
I looked to the north and found another pile. The two piles point approximately (or exactly?) north toward the stone bridge across Snake Meadow Brook.
Looking south, the two piles can be seen.
Continuing to follow the split rocks, I observed another rock.
Then I found a number of erratics, but there seemed to be a pattern to the piles.
A small rock pile.
A view of the entire mound.
A boulder split in half.
Is this a propped boulder?
About a hundred feet to the north, I found a passageway between boulders that looks like it was cut.
I feel that I am looking at the artifacts of two different cultures that may have been separated by hundreds or even thousands of years. One group marked its trails with rock piles and the other marked it with split rocks. In retrospect, I wonder if the quarry that I visited at the opening of this page predates European settlement because it did not use traditional cutting methods. Whoever cut the above stone passage, if it is not natural, had an advanced technology for cutting stone.
