The archaeological remains at sites 38HR475 and 38HR476
bear a great deal of similarity, and are physically separated only
by a narrow drainage (click map at left for larger view). Woodland
shell middens are scattered across both sites, buried just a few
centimeters below the ground surface. Pottery fragments are
similarly scattered about the two sites. A variety of pottery types
are present, representing several Native American periods
identified by archaeologists. 
However, the majority are clearly
comprised of Middle Woodland Hanover pottery (click image at right
for larger view). Hanover pottery is distinguished by the lumpy
clay/sherd (grog) temper, fabric impressed surfaces, and a recurring
conical vessel form. Other artifacts associated with the midden
deposits include bone, lithics, and charred plant remains. In
addition to scattered midden and artifact concentrations, a number
of pit and post features were identified.
