I wonder, if in some far distant future, an archaeologist will write a
thesis on "The stone cairns of Roach and other dry lakes of the Far
West: towards a solution". :-)
I was just looking at a copy of Ancient Hunters of the Far West, 1966,
by Malcolm Rogers, a former director of the San Diego Museum of Man.
Many photos of stone cairns and stone enclosures dubbed sleeping circles
in southern California. Apparently these are several thousand years
old. Makes me chuckle to think in a millennium or 2, people may scratch
their heads over all those meteorite hunter rock piles.
