Overlapping Pithouses
This image shows two pithouses from the Clearwater site. The soil layer that these houses were constructed upon dates these homes to around 400 B.C.
The house on the left contains a large storage pit. Ancient farmers used pits such as this to store maize.
These structures were probably not used at the same time. The house on the right was built such that it cut into the foundation of the room on the left, so we can infer that the house on the right was built slightly later in time than the other structure.
