Feature Numbers
The original excavators of the ST116 site assigned numbers to individual features. ST116 feature numbers are composed of two numbers separated by a decimal point, the year in which the feature was excavated (i.e. 1999) and a number assigned sequentially throughout the excavation season. The ST116 feature number 99.01 is read to mean the first feature of the 1999 excavation season. Since ST116 feature numbers were assigned by the excavator, they do not have a F-prefix as DAACS-assigned feature numbers do.

Feature Groups
Feature groups are sets of features whose spatial arrangements indicate they were part of a single structure (e.g. structural postholes, subfloor pits, and hearth) or landscape element (e.g. postholes that comprise a fenceline). Feature Groups assigned by DAACS have a FG-prefix, which precedes the number (i.e. FG01 equals Feature Group 1). DAACS assigned feature groups to ST116 features.


Feature Group FG01: Four postholes and molds, and mortared brick foundation (with English bond) and associated builder's trench.
