Feature Numbers
The original excavators of Site 8 assigned numbers to individual features. Similar to DAACS conventions, the excavators included a F-prefix that precedes the feature number (i.e. F01 equals Feature 1).

Excavated contexts that belong to the same depositional basin (e.g. a posthole and postmold or the layers in a single pit) have been assigned a single feature number. In addition, single contexts have been given feature numbers when the original field records indicate that the excavators recognized a context’s spatial distinctiveness from surrounding contexts.

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).

Feature Group FG01: House 1. A house from the late 18th century whose remains consist of, at least, three sub-floor pits:-Features 1,2, and 3. We currently interpret House 1 as the earliest of the houses identified on Site 8. Feature Feature Type Contexts F01 Pit, subfloor(< 28 sq.ft) 141D, 141E, 141F, 141G, 141H, 141I, 141J, 141K, 177I, 177N, 177M, 177J F02 Pit, subfloor(< 28 sq.ft) 177D, 184E, 184F, 184G, 184H, 184I, 184J, 184K, 184L, 177F, 177H, 177E, 177K, 177L, 177G F03 Pit, subfloor(< 28 sq.ft) 191B, 191C, 191D, 191E, 191F, 191G, 191H

Feature Group FG02: House 2. A feature group that makes up a house from the fourth quarter of the 18th century. The two features in this group (to date) are a cellar (F06) and a smaller sub-floor pit (F07). Feature Feature Type Contexts F06 Cellar 220C, 220R, 220S, 220T, 220G, 220H, 220I, 220J, 220K, 220M, 220N, 220O, 220P, 220Q, 220D F07 Pit, subfloor(< 28 sq.ft) 237E, 237H, 237K, 237L, 237M, 237N, 237O, 237P, 237Q

Feature Group FG03: A potential House 4 on Site 8. Features 9 and 15 make up the two features in this group. House 4 likely could not have stood at the same time as House 3. Feature MCDs do not allow us to state which house was earlier. Feature Feature Type Contexts F09 Pit, subfloor(< 28 sq.ft) 281J, 281K, 281L, 281M, 281N, 281O, 281P, 281Q F09/F15 Pit, subfloor(< 28 sq.ft) 281D, 281E, 281F F15 Pit, subfloor(< 28 sq.ft) 281G, 281H, 281I, 281R, 281S, 281T, 281U, 281V, 281W, 273C, 273D, 273E, 273F, 273G, 273H, 273I, 273J, 277C, 277D, 277E, 277F, 277G, 277H, 277I, 277J, 281X, 281Y, 281Z, 281AA, 281BB
