BRIAN GHILLIOTTI: EXPLORING LITHIC SITE ALONG CT I-395 SOUTH: TAKING AN AZIMUTH FROM THE HILLTOP

I take another azimuth reading from the "glacial" erratic placed near the top of the small hill toward a prominent "glacial" stone in the distance, and get an azimuth of 195 degrees. It is in alignment with other stone cairns that I noted before on the way through the area.

I have a wild theory, this alignment might be used as a guid post to measure the path a Saturn.

Saturn seems to be at the height of its horizontal altitude toward the end of summer, but to the left. As the first month of fall begins, it starts to decline, moving further to the right, going past the 195 mark within a week (starting 8/31, as data suggests). Brian Ghilliotti
