Maybe But the whole trouble is that we don't know the context. Archaeology covers a whole lot of possibilities and it may or may not be a context in which cobblestones would occur, whether in wedge formations or otherwise.

cobblestones seem more likely than pebbles given the context.
Charles Davis Sep 27, 2014:
Contexto Necesitamos más información: la frase entera en la que ocurre, alguna frase antes y después, todo lo que puedas decirnos sobre qué tipo de restos arqueológicos, qué estructuras, en qué país, en qué tipo de yacimiento... No es un término habitual y hay varias cosas que podría significar.

wedge-shaped pebbles

"Characteristic wedge-shaped, faceted pebbles and boulders suggest a glacial origin."
Peer comment(s):

neutral Charles Davis : Wedge-shaped pebbles exist, but this is archaeology, not geology, and in principle they are wedges made of pebbles rather than pebbles like wedges. We need more info.
