- Description:
- This image shows the full-length cross-section of a shallow, fire-related, Seneca-era pit feature (Feature 44). Feature 44 proved to be about 36 by 10.6 inches (92 by 27 centimeters), and chunks of charcoal were seen quite regularly throughout the feature. Two postmold-sized stains (Post Mold 60 and Post Mold 79) eventually were discovered extending below this pit, although it is not certain whether Feature 44 predates the posts or vice-versa. The circular dark stain toward the bottom of the image at the edge of the Feature 44 excavation pit is Post Mold 60. The two other pits shown are from the excavation of Post Mold 56 (top left), and Post Mold 55 (far left).
