This is a scale plan (birds-eye view) drawing of the large outdoor firepit (Feature 5) at the Townley-Read site, drawn after all overlying plow-mixed soil was removed from the area. The small triangles indicate depth below a point established to map the feature, in centimeters. The "plow scars" represent places where tines from Euroamerican plows went particularly deep and scraped the top of the preserved Seneca feature. Subsoil represents soil that has not been culturally modified. Kurt Jordan, Archaeologist
