Among the sites in the district, Bagnell (32OL16)[2] was seemingly occupied during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries AD.[3]:163 Houses excavated at the site have produced significant evidence of the architectural practices of the residents: posthole patterns and other features suggest that the houses represent a transition to the earthlodges found among area tribes during the historic period.[3]:165
