註釋"The remains of a late eighteenth-century farmstead (44SN180), 3.1 miles west of Capron, Virginia, in Southampton County was completely excavated (Phase III study). The brick and cob (mud) foundation and cellar of a frame house, cellars and postholes of two post houses, and the foundation of a cob-constructed smokehouse were its main features. Mechanical removal of the plowzone around these features revealed six fence lines and numerous features related to both farm and domestic activities. These features and their spatial organization and the recovered artifacts and ecofacts, such as animal bone, provided data for the analysis of social relations and the impact of the frontier on material culture. The documentary history indicated the presence of slaves at the site and this was supported by the archaeological remains that included ceramic, dietary, and architectural evidence. Although judged eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, its location in the path of construction expanding Route 58, the infamous "suicide strip," to four lanes dictated its mitigation by excavation."
