Excavations Inside Historic Structure 4, the New Commissary, at Fort Larned National Historic Site, Kansas

Author(s): Kristin L. Griffin

Year: 1991

Summary

In March, 1989, the Midwest Archeological Center conducted excavations inside Historic Structure 4, the New Commissary, at Fort Larned National Historic Site, Kansas. The excavations were intended to mitigate the impact from the planned adaptive restoration of the structure. The excavations succeeded in determining the depth of fill deposited after the close of the military-period, locating remnant segments of the floor joist supports, and locating a single post feature which dates to the military period or earlier. Artifacts were mixed with regard to temporal period, and may have been introduced into the structure along with the fill.
