- 1 or more cooking vessels represented by "49 ceramic fragments and and 5 ceramic sherds". "One rim sherd was identified and is attributed to Vessel Lot 1." The report described Vessel Lot 1 as a castellated vessel with incised designs, and notes that these stylistic elements postdate roughly 1350. Fragments of Vessel 1 also recovered from Feature 15, but report notes that may have ended up there due to some form of disturbance since the radiocarbon date for Feature 15 is more than 1,000 years earlier than that for this feature. Mammal bone fragments, acorn, beech, butternut shells, 1 quartzite projectile point, 1 quartz biface, 1 pitted nutting stone, 2 pestles, 16 quartzite flakes, 16 quartz flakes, 1 chert flake.; Hearth; Report notes "Several other lines of evidence strongly suggest that only the dates from Features 9 and 10 accurately reflect the period of occupation."
