Carbonized food occurred in several instances. A few acorn hulls were
found in Feature 18, a nut shell in Feature 5, both fire basin and a
small number of corn cobs in the general midden excavation. The corn
cobs according to Nash, seem typical of the Eastern Complex corn. They
are all fragmentary but three specimens show a tapering cob. The first
of these had twelve rows of kernels spaced as pairs. The cob was
probably not over 6 cm. in length and had a diameter of 2 cm. some
distance from the probable butt. Kernels measured about 4 mm. wide and 2
mm. thick. The second specimen had ten paired rows of kernels and was
1.6 cm. in diameter. The third specimen had been split longitudinally
but indicated twelve paired rows of kernels. The cob was 1.7 cm. in
diameter. The largest kernels were 5 mm. wide and 2.4 mm. thick (See
Appendix B).
