- Description:
- This photograph shows a cross-section of a small Seneca-era post (Post Mold 79) at the White Springs site; the east half of the feature has already been excavated. Post Mold 79 proved to be a definite small, Seneca-era post with a tapering profile that terminated in a blunt tip. Post Mold 79 and Post Mold 60 (not excavated by the Cornell University Project) both extended below Feature 44, a shallow, fire-related, Seneca-era pit feature. It is not certain whether Feature 44 predated the posts or vice-versa. The other small pits are associated with the excavation of Post Mold 56 (to the left) and Post Mold 61 (to the right).
