* The overwhelming majority of Activity artifacts in the dig were charcoal fragments. After consulting with other archaeologists, it was decided that this charcoal counting was excessive, so a normalization was performed to bring the Activity count down to the average count of other sites (4.8%). These numbers (in parentheses by the *) show the normalized values, which match closely to "Charleston Town House."
