The archeological site located in the rear of 114 East Leigh Street appears representative of the middle class residents of the study area, its ownership and occupation status paralleling the major trends identified by the analysis. Mr. Payne was a hotel waiter and Mrs. Payne the secretary to Maggie L. Walker, the bank president who lived two houses west. Both occupations represent middle status occupations by W.E.B. DuBois' definitions. Both their occupational and spatial association with high status residents and their location on the street with principal high occupation status residents symbolize their middle class status. The site does not represent the lower occupation status residents living in structures not on the principal high status street, often with multiple heads of households listed in the same structure.
Additional analysis is necessary for definitive results.
