Bone and antler artifacts are common, and include flakers, beakers, socketed projectile points, spatulate forms, and incised bone pins and tubes characteristic of French Lick phase. Faunal preservation is excellent, and there is evidence for bone and antler tool manufacture. The upper midden reflects reworking of these Late Archaic deposits from the present surface. Late Archaic, Early Woodland and Yankeetown material are thoroughly mixed, features cannot be defined, and midden soil is extremely dark and uniform. Sandstone cobbles are smaller than below, probably as a result of weathering as well as fire-cracking.
Faunal preservation is poor.
Like the lower midden component, the later components include little chert debitage, but finished lithic artifacts are common. Three examples suggest that bannerstones were manufactured at the site. While the lack of discernable features, multicomponency, and poor bone preservation make this zone of lesser archaeological significance than the lower midden, it is the focus of vandalism at the site. We recovered 31 burials, including one dog, from 10 excavation units comprising Just under 18,000 cubic feet. Burials were recovered from both zones, but formal similarities and the lack of ceramics with or beneath burials suggest that they belong to the French Lick phase component throughout.
