Late Woodland Structures from the Little River site, Goochland County, Virginia

Martin Gallivan's (1999) dissertation describes a block excavation at the Little River site (44-Go-30b) in that exposed portions of two Late Woodland structures (figure to right from Gallivan 1999:221).  One of the structures appeared to an elliptical post structure.  The pit feature inside the structure (Feature 1) was radiocarbon dated to around AD 1200-1300 (Gallivan 1999:220).

Goochland County, Virginia, lays claim to, among other things, the early schooling of Thomas Jefferson.  The historical society has a nice collection of photographs by W. Edwin Booth.  I am more than a little jealous that their drive-in theater opens this weekend:  that's a sign of Spring that certainly trumps the four north-going geese I saw this morning.  And if that wasn't enough, there is a Rock & Roll Jubilee Show this evening at the high school. No wonder Justin Verlander lives there.

Late Woodland Structures from the Wood Site, Nelson County, Virginia

Martin Gallivan's (1999) dissertation includes information on several Woodland and Late Prehistoric sites in Virginia with structural remains (see also his later paper in American Antiquity).  The figure to the right (from Gallivan 1999:197) shows the distribution of postmolds and features exposed in excavations at the Wood site (44-Ne-143), Nelson County.  Gallivan used multiple approaches to analyze the distribution of posts, identifying the outlines of five elliptical structures (Structures A, B, C, D, and E) of varying size.  Radiocarbon dates from features at the site suggest the structures were constructed around AD 1000-1050.  The Wood site structures will be Structures 2237-2241 in the database.
