| Feature Notes: |
Presumably dug in the 19th century, the open well contained exclusively 20th century deposits. Excavation was suspended at 5.5 meters. Note: Although MCD dates have been used for most features, the MCD of 1865 for this well is not a valid indicator of age since most 20th century artifact types have not been assigned mean dates. |

Multiple investigations, multiple reports. 1986/1987 Phase III investigation does not have a final report, therefore field notes and original maps were used. Artifact counts are not available for much of this study.
Soil and flotation samples were collected. Faunal analysis was performed. A combination of dry screening and water screening was used on the site, once a water source was secured.
Feature numbers vary by project. All include an area number, some contain unit numbers, followed by feature number and possibly a letter designating the type of feature. |
