- Description:
- This image shows a cross-section of a Seneca-era post (Post Mold 55); the west half of the feature had already been excavated. This dark soil stain was not entirely circular at subsoil surface, possibly implying that wooden post had been partially squared-off prior to insertion in the ground. The cross-section was very regular and extended to an obvious point.
