at the above site you may view Castle Hill ... clearly it has a great location that would've ticked the right boxes for early settlers around the 17thC ... yet in essence, there are hundreds of sites in New England that scream with the same energy of construction as European, African and Middle-Eastern sites circa 4000 BP+ indeed Spirit Hill, although fiddled around with does remind one of the Temple of the Moon in Bahrain.

Of course Gut-feeling Archaeology is riddled with failings ... and my gut is bigger than most ... that said, there seems a political correctness attitude towards pre-Columbian archaeology that defies logic. Good ol' boys he-ha'ing about Paul Revere is all well and good in the right context, but hopefully the new interest in these places will fruit some facts.

Statistics of ethnic origin are hugely flawed unless the whole population is screened and the entire back catalogue of human remains gets zapped too ...
