Description
Over the past four years, I have been researching stone structures throughout the eastern seaboard of the U.S. and Canada. I will present the results of this study as a way of illustrating the use of spatial statistics to address a controversial research question:Who built the structures? Native Americans? Colonial farmers? Transatlantic pre-Columbian voyagers? Or are they just natural deposits from the last glacier? This research has been supported by generous grants from CARS.
