Woodland Structures from the Great Neck Site, Virginia Beach, Virginia

Excavations at the Great Neck site (44-Vb-7) in Virginia Beach, Virginia, exposed portions of at least seven post structures dating to the Middle and Late Woodland periods.  These structures were described in a 1998 report by Mary Hodges (available here) and were included in the sample used by Martin Gallivan in his dissertation (Gallivan 1999). 

There is quite a bit of variability in the structures.  Structure A, an incompletely exposed Late Woodland
structure, probably encompassed almost 80 square m while Structure G, a Middle Woodland structure, was less than 5 square m (still larger than many Woodland, Mississippian, and Late Prehistoric structures in the database that were interpreted as residential structures). Structure D, shown in the figure to the right (from Hodges 1998:139), was the best preserved structure that was exposed at the site.

The dimensions given by Gallivan and Hodges vary somewhat. I will provide Gallivan's dimensions (Gallivan 1999:Appendix 7) in the entries for the structures (Structures 2244-2250)
