- Description:
- This image shows a dark roughly circular soil stain that eventually proved to be a Seneca-era post (Post Mold 95) when it was first exposed after removal of overlying plow-mixed soil. Upon further excavation, the stain proved to be a Seneca-era post mold tapering to a point. The post was impacted by root or rodent disturbance, including a curved, channel-like extension below the base of the post. It is unclear whether an angled section at the north portion of the stain represents natural or cultural activity. The stain is just to the left of the tip of the black-and-white north arrow. This post is likely to have made up part of the south wall of the vestibule/entryway for House 3.
