great
thanx
also can you tell if the 1659 & later treaties & inventories include
or ignore the 1375 stone & earlier stones

i ask because i believe this boundary actually dates from the late
1200s & may be the oldest in the world
& i wonder if it is recognized as such
& if the 600 marks from the 19th century are all new or cumulative
