The deposits -- preserved under the floors of 20th century houses built on piers -- are important because they show that remains of the fort may be present even on the extreme northeast of the cantonment (previously thought unlikely).

The site contained peculiar deposits of ochre that seem to have been intentionally deposited at the base of a midden layer during the Middle/Late Archaic. Northwest Florida, upper Apalachicola River Valley.
