Archaeologists found evidence that a wooden stockade wall, punctuated by regularly spaced bastions, enclosed the village on its north, west, and south sides — the Crawfish River itself formed the open, unwalled eastern edge. Building it was a massive undertaking for a community without metal tools. A short reconstructed section here helps visitors picture the scale of the original wall.
