Patterns of post holes the archaeologists found below the plow-disturbed layer revealed that three to four small ancient Native structures, likely houses, had once stood at Withrow Creek. These post hole patterns also suggested that each structure faced west. Hearths, cooking pits, and storage pits in front of each structure represented an outdoor activity area.
Several trash-filled pits were located away from the main occupation area. Site residents may have processed hides here.
Hickory and red oak were the most common wood species used in house construction, and for heating and cooking. Other wood species used by the camp residents included white oak, ash, black locust, hard maple, yellow poplar, and slippery elm.
Site inhabitants grew native cultigens in nearby fields and gardens. These included nutrious seed-producing plants such as goosefoot, maygrass, marshelder, erect knotweed, and little barley. Residents also collected wild plants like sumac, blackberries, and hickory nuts. They also would have hunted deer and smaller game, such as rabbits and groundhogs.
