Well... arguably ;) if they were rowed they were pushed, as that is the nature of the process. If they were pulled then they would have been partly pushed IMO. The Stonehengineers found the biggest step-change in efficiency was when a couple of blokes (Goff for one!) were stationed at the back with vertical levers to push the stone along using a mechanical advantage.
