A Flint Ballast Station in New Rochelle, New York
View through CrossRef
AbstractThe possibility of mistaking natural fractured flint stones for artifacts has always been problematic to researchers in the Old World and the New World. This problem increases ten-fold when artifact-like assemblages are collected from heaps of nonindigenous stone which was brought to the New World as ballast. Such a ballast station consisting of flint from the Thames in England and deposited in New Rochelle, New York, is described, and its ramifications are discussed.
