Old Mobile (1MB94) Structure 03, Mobile County, Alabama.

Summary

Structure 3 at the Old Mobile site (1MB94), entirely excavated in 1991-1992, was first noticed as an earthen floor in the woods along the western edge of the townsite, an unplowed portion of the site. This two-room structure was built initially in the poteaux-sur-sole style, but decaying sills led to repair in places with short sections of pieux-en-terre wall foundation trenches. An addition on the northeast side of the building also employed pieux-en-terre wall trenches, forming two open bays, perhaps roofed work areas lacking an outside wall.
