The Blue Hills: Archaeological Wonder of Epic Proportions
"The Blue Hills are nothing short of an archaeological wonder of epic proportions. In 2012, I set out on a day-long hike in the Blue Hills Reservation with my wife, Jen, who is also an archaeologist. Utilizing the documents previously published regarding the location of outcrops of blue hills rhyolite, Braintree slate, and Massachusett hornfels, we sought out these locations to document and witness the natural environment of a Native Landscape. We were absolutely blown away.
I have personally visited, excavated, and studied hundreds of Native archaeological sites throughout the east coast, and I have never experienced the types of intact Native landscapes that can be found in the Blue Hills. I do not mean intact as in undeveloped, but intact meaning the actual experience is similar today as it was in the past."
