This image shows the "negative impression" of a large Seneca-era post (Post Mold 49) at the White Springs site. A negative impression is what remains after all cultural soil has been scooped out, and it shows what the original edge of the post looked like when it was in use by the site's residents. This was a deep, straight-sided post with a rounded bottom, and the base of the post was angled to the west (meaning that the upper portion of the post was pointed slightly to the east). This post likely formed part of the vestibule/entryway wall for House 3. Kurt Jordan, Archaeologist
