Identified in the course of the 1993 Birchtown Archaeological Survey, AkDi-11 is an architecturally
complex site. Testing in 1993 recovered 118 artifacts. A date range of 1850-1900 was assigned
based on this assemblage. The material was recovered from in and around the cellar feature believed
to be the house, while the cellar believed to be the barn yielded no artifacts. Both cellars
are constructed with cut and field stones. The complexity and seeming lack of organization in
the formation of the many walls indicate a long term occupancy with a slow and additive fashion
of construction. It took three days, in 1999, to map AkDi-11, however more work is required to
interpret the many features of this site. |
