What is recorded here
One chamber holds half a foot of black soil and unbroken charcoal. The other is empty except for a broken jar and a line of dead flint. The fort is not complete. It is a before and after place. The first chamber is the end of the last life that left a trace. The second is the beginning of the road that carries the lesson forward.
