- Description:
- This photograph shows a cross-section of the remnants of a rectangular Seneca post (Post Mold 32) located at the southeast corner of the shot longhouse (Structure 1) at the Townley-Read site. The photograph was taken after the west half of the post mold had been excavated. The shape of this post was rather unusual because it was rectangular and had been erected using a dug-out post hole, the traces of which can be seen extending around the darker post soil.
