Type of survey: Magnetic gradiometry; Instrument: Geoscan Research FM-36 fluxgate gradiometer; Prospection depth: up to 1.5 m; Sampling interval: 0.25 x 0.5 m; Area surveyed: 40 x 40 m; Date of survey: 7/97.
Comments: This site, currently under an agricultural
field, yields numerous surface artifacts that suggest multiple
occupations from the late Archaic through Woodland periods.
Ceramics and stone tools are present as are thick lumps of baked
clays that might be associated with house remnants. The oval
areas might possibly be indications of prehistoric houses. The
magnetic extremes suggest large burned areas, possible middens,
and hearths.
