Often the details of the past are shrouded in mystery. Archeologists and historians have to weave together an interpretation based on limited evidence. In the case of this structure, archaeology revealed size but not appearance.

The frame of timbers before you marks the outline, or "ghost" of the structure. The size and shape of the corner posts are based on archaeological evidence. The settlers raised this building by putting round corner posts directly into the ground, a construction technique known as earthfast building. The post holes left behind stains in the soil, fragile evidence of the distant past.
