- Description:
- This image shows the shape and size of a definite Seneca-era post (Post Mold 61) and a probable non-cultural soil stain (Feature 47) first exposed after removal of overlying plow-mixed soil. Post Mold 61 is the circular very dark stain just below the lower right-hand corner of the sign board; it proved to be a small, pointed post deeply driven into subsoil. Feature 47 is the accumulation of dark soil near the left-hand wall of the excavation. The dark soil proved to be very thin and uneven upon excavation, probably meaning it was not a cultural feature. The water-filled pits shown in the background are associated with the excavation of Feature 44 and Post Molds 55 and 56.
