[Herbert C. Kraft et al. (1994)] The third structure is visible in the northern area, the south wall having been exposed for a distance of 20 m. Approximately 7.5 m to the north, a clear line of posts running parallel to this was exposed in the northern trench. During the seminar, Neil O'Donnell redrew the post molds representing the one long-house which was almost totally exposed and rechecked the original field notes in the process. Also included on this map were all observed features, including pits, hearths, burials, and a portion of a wall trench. This map appears as Figure 3. A small gully cutting into the extreme southwestern portion of the structure and some scattered large trees prevent the total excavation of the structure. The longhouse appears to have been between 34 and 35 m in length and 7 to 8 m in width. A shallow, wall trench was observed along a 14-m section of the west wall. It appeared as a linear stain just beneath the plowzone. When the stain was scraped down, post molds appeared within a few centimeters. It is possible that the shallow nature of the wall trench prevented its detection elsewhere. Shallow wall
