The Stone Mounds of Cushetunk Mountain, Gregory Herman

Gregory Herman: The Stone Mounds of Cushetunk Mountain NEARA fall conference Saturday 6 November 2021 In 2018, after conducting a photographic inventory of the Hunterdon County Historical Society, New Jersey, Deats-Thatcher Indian artifact collection, and while conducting historical research on the area, I came across a passage in James P. Snell's History of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties, New Jersey,(1881) telling of a long-fabled Indian occupation and tombs atop a local mountain. With the help of my dog and a few friends, I (re-) located an area containing what may have been, or are such tombs. They are mounds of deliberately-stacked stones, with the largest mound and a few others showing signs of past foraging and disruption. This presentation summarizes aspects of their rediscovery, their physical nature, and places them into a regional and historical context. Dr. Gregory Charles Herman is a licensed professional geologist specializing in structural and tectonic analyses, and fractured-bedrock aquifers. As of late I have been conducting geoarchaeological research. My blogs, publications, virtual GeoTools, classes, and Google Earth themes are available at ImpactTectonics.org
