Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; R.A. Varney

Year: 2006

Summary

The Fort Hill Site (46-Mg-12) located outside the city limits of Morgantown, West

Virginia, in Monongalia County, represents relatively recent occupations, falling within the past

approximate 1,000 years. An abundance of charred maize was recovered at the site, indicating

that people living here were agriculturalists. Five lots of ceramics were chosen for residue

analysis to identify foods that might have been cooked in the vessels.
