This highway passes directly over structures dating to AD 600 and AD 1000. Wooden posts driven into the ground define points along north-south and east-west grid lines at the SAK site. These points identify the corners of excavation units, enabling accurate mapping of artifacts, hearths, structural remains, and other cultural features. Careful, labor-intensive, hand excavation of a pit structure at the Spurgeon Draw site allows excavators to record more detailed observations of investigations than were possible in the early days of the Highway Archaeology program.
