The goal of our 2018 work was to expose as much of the house and yard as possible in order to determine the size and configuration of the house, its method of construction and ultimate fate, and to explore the yard area to find the outbuildings and fencelines that we knew made up the typical 17th century farmstead. The 2018 excavations resulted in the recovery of almost 200,000 artifacts, the identification of dozens of features, the delineation of the house and the identification of a palisade encircling it, and the discovery of at least one other substantial building in the yard south of the house.
