The followinng report has a discussion about looking for plants to help
locate and orientate archaeological sites. It includes lilacs, roses, day
lilies, morning glories, hydrangeas, periwinkle & "front yard trees" like
sugar maples near house foundations, and thistles, burdock and nettles
over barnyards & dumps. It also discusses tree blazes and wooden property
markers. I believe it is available from the Office of the Vermont State
Archaeologist.
