Native American pottery from post in ground structure.

This structure was associated with an unusual array of artifacts, mostly preserved in a small trench along the wall of this structure that does not appear on historic maps, with large fragments of hand-built pottery, bone from both wild and domestic species, lithic artifacts, and even a copper crucifix, perhaps from a rosary. Some of the hand-built pottery was consistent with known Native American traditions; this fragment, for instance, is similar to known historic Choctaw types.
