| A late woodland feature (upper left)
and historic posthole (lower right) were found just outside
of last years excavations (see plastic on right). |
You can see sections of the two ditches
crossing this excavation trench. |
The riverfront excavation was less than
fifty feet from the York River. |

 |
| These circular depressions mark the locations
of vertically-set logs that formed a fence. |
Not every visitor to the site was human. |
Whlie the pasture appears empty on its
surface, beneath the grass is hundreds of years of history. |
 |
 |
 |
| This profile shows the gradual filling
of the ditches by numerous layers of silt. |
This circular pit was filled sometime
at the end of the 18th century by the Taliaferro family. |
Thane Harpole, Beth Clites, and Nick
Anderson clean the test units while in the shadow of a backhoe. |
