This photograph shows a cross-section of a possible Seneca-era pit, as seen in the west wall of Test Unit 52. In that wall, the upper brownish layer that extends across the entire unit is plow-mixed soil. The in right-hand corner, a slightly deeper basin with a mixture of soil colors and numerous small bits of charcoal is visible; red-brown patches may represent discoloration due to heat from a fire. This feature may represent the base of a small Seneca-era fire pit located within the central corridor of White Springs House 4, although most of the feature has been destroyed by plow action.
