A 2010 report by Craig Keener, Kevin Nye, and Joshua Niedermeir (available here) describes excavations at the Yellowbush Creek site (33Ms29), a Late Archaic site in Meigs County, Ohio, dating to the second millennium BC. Geophysical data collected during Phase II suggested "possible post formations indicative of structures," specifically "circular or arc shaped anomaly patterns" (Keener et al. 2010:5, 15). Phase II excavations identified a cluster of posts and pit features that suggested the presence of some kind of structure (Keener et al. 2010:15). Phase III investigations exposed an arc of pits around an open area that was suggestive of a structure location (illustration to right, from Keener et al. 2010:16).
I will add a general entry to the database for the Yellowbush Creek site (Structure 2259). Hopefully discrete structures can be identified there if work is conducted in the future. The work described by Keener et al. (2010) was carried out by PAST. I thank Craig Keener for pointing out the publication on the Ohio Archaeological Council webpage.
