It was especially interesting to me because some years ago when I asked a descendent of indigenous people here what kind of rituals he thought the Oley Hills site might have been used for, he said he thought it was agricultural. It is built mostly of gneiss that contains magnetite, is on the "Reading Prong," known for its high radon emissions, and it is positioned on hills that are the source of several creeks, indicating a large amount of underground water flow.
It's all speculation, of course, but that's what's interesting about it. The rock piles on the top of the hill there are all flat-topped. Could seeds and maize kernels have been laid out on skins at certain times? We'll probably never know, but it would give the place a function so that the effort that went into it as well as the choice of the site would make more practical sense. It's worth reading something like this sometimes just to help you think of old places in new ways.
