Early Stone Cairns and Rows in Eastern Pennsylvania __ "Southwest of Allentown,
Pennsylvania, on a wooded forty-plus acre ridge site in the Oley Hills, is an
impressive and unusual array of manmade stone features that bears little
relationship to any known colonial workmanship or activity. These features
consist of large and intricately constructed cone-shaped and flat-topped cairns,
oddly shaped stone rows, stone platforms, a large stone terrace and ritualized
boulders, made by either connecting them with short stone rows, or else by
piling small rocks on top of or against them. The workmanship of many of these
features is truly artistic and awe inspiring." You will find an interesting

Pennsylvania Archaeology __ "Few people realize how long Pennsylvania has been
inhabited. The earliest Indians came here from Asia many thousands of years ago,
when the glaciers were receding. This marks the beginning of what we call the
Paleo-Indian period. The climate was much different from that of today; the
landscape was in part tundra, and in part composed of scattered stands of spruce
and fir. Small, wandering bands of hunters and their families followed herds of
big-game animals, mostly of species now extinct." You will find an overview and
good introduction to archaeology in Pennsylvania. - illustrated - From
