Scotrun
Scotrun submitted by Aluta : During the conference that brought together schooled archaeologists, non-academic researchers and Lenape descendants, members examine the now-damaged Monroe County site. Note the walls in the background and the smaller size of the cairns. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cairn in Monroe County, Pensylvania.

Once a fine example of a wall-and-cairn site, this site is now said to be mostly destroyed. It was considered by those who knew it to be one of the most significant sites in Pennsylvania, because of the variety of features to be found in close proximity to one another: parallel walls across the hill with other parallel walls running up the hill, carefully-shaped rockpiles formed on boulders in different ways, groups of stones said to form animal effigies, a chamber set into a wall, and a rare standing stone.

When Great Wolf Lodge built on the site, they destroyed nearly all of it after promising to preserve it. Ironically, they use totem poles--symbols of people indigenous to the northwestern United States--as part of their image.

This was one of the sites visited by the joint group of indigenous descendants, amateur stonework investigators, and archaeologists during the Delaware Water Gap Conference of several years ago.
