- Description:
- This image shows the cross-section of Post Mold 27, seen in the excavated area just to the right of the black-and-white north arrow/scale; the south half of the post has already been removed. This is a probable large, oval Seneca-era post mold that extended to a tapered tip. This may have been an interior bench support post for White Springs House 4. The rounded negative impression of Post Mold 26 can be seen just this side of the Post Mold 27 excavation. 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 used by the site's residents. The regularly rounded negative impression suggests that Post Mold 26 may have been a small, shallow post that was erected close to the bench-line in House 4.
