Clampitt Site

Particularly interesting was Feature 44, which was a very large and deep post mold located on the highest point of the site.

[3] Analysis of the faunal and floral materials excavated from the features at the Clampitt site revealed the remains of maize, beans, wild plants, berries, nuts, deer, fish, and other animals.

The assemblage of floral specimens discovered at Clampitt primarily contained a large proportion of maize.

Sparse faunal remains were found, but recovered specimens included deer, squirrel, fox, woodchuck, beaver, muskrat, turkey, duck, freshwater drum, redhorse, and turtle.

[3] In addition to the floral and faunal remains, the excavations also recovered over ten thousand ceramic sherds.

[3] A small number of groundstone artifacts were excavated from the site, including one complete grinding stone.

[3] Radiocarbon dates placed the Oliver phase occupation of the Clampitt site in the Fourteenth Century.
