Summary
This paper describes the analysis of an in situ dirt floor from a French Colonial structure in St. Charles, Missouri. The floor is a prepared floor, constructed of homogenous soil brought from off-site and is similar in thickness throughout. The only identified wall of the structure is poteaux sur sole. In and above the floor, the structure also contained a double-firepit hearth. Artifacts types within the floor are varied, but include several chronological markers indicating French construction/use that most likely corresponds with the use/ownership of the property by Louis Blanchette, founder of the City of St. Charles, between 1769 and 1793.
