Base: 21 feet by 17 feet
Constructed: A.D. 1000

Archaeological investigations in this area revealed a rectangular structure known as a Wall Trench House, typically built during the Mississippian period. This house probably represents a year-round farm for one family, though 2 or 3 other homes may have been nearby. Mississippian houses were basically rectangular. The walls of this house were made by placing large posts in a narrow trench, weaving reeds between the posts, and plastering the whole house with wet clay and mud.
