to one of the structures represented. The walls had been set 
in ditches and outlines of large round post molds set a few 
centimeters from each other were visible. (See Plate V A). 
The buildings had been square or rectangular. Large refuse 
pits were found within these outlines and some of them straddled 
the outlines and were definitely intrusive. A pottery handle 
possibly of a bean pot form and a few small sherds were found 
between the outlines. A+small depressed outline 2.25 x 4 meters, 
of on aboriginal pit house lay a few meters to the west of the 
superimposed wall outlines. (See Plate V B). No definite post 
molds were found but fragments of charcoal were found along 
the edge of the structure indicating the position of small posts. 
Between the outlines of the large structures and the small de- 
pressed structure was a refuse pit containing large fragments of 
broken clay near the upper surface, presumably the broken rem- 
nants of a fireplace. 
Over 60 refuse pits were found near the center of the vil- 
lage south of J°40 along the edge of the second terrace. (See 
Plate V B). These refuse pits were generally arranged in 
groups. and each may have been near or in a house structure. 
However, the humus was black for such a considerable depth 
and the habitation level (20 to 30 centimeters) so close to the 
surface that traces of wall outlines were not discernible. The 
refuse pits were round with an average diameter of 1 meter, 
shallow (extending not over 30 to 40 centimeters below habita- 
tion level) and flat bottomed. A few were splayed at the base. 
The decayed contents were very dark indicating large amounts of 
vegetable matter. Animal bones on the other hand were very 
few in number and consisted mostly of deer bones and a few 
turkey bones. Fragments of pottery and artifacts were usually 
found scattered from top to base. 
The habitation level was 20 to 30 centimeters deep on the 
second terrace but it appears to have been destroyed by erosion 
in Its east extension, now the first terrace. Thus a part of the 
village has been eroded since aboriginal occupation. We are cer- 
tain that the habitation level and second terrace did extend 
into what is now the first terrace. Three types of pottery ware
