The Mueller Little House Site

1

Segment 1 (Irregular area approximatley 33 m north-south, and 12 m east-west.). North-central part of site. Area extending from Structure 102 north to the northern site boundary.

Judgmental. Area mechanically stripped to define the extent of the pithouse (Structures 101, 102, and 114)

Full cut.

Other. Stripping ceased when the outline of the pithouse and other areas to the north were defined;essentially, stripping ceased at the base of the plow zone.
