Hi Melisa,

  CRCG excavated a rounhouse in Lakehurst, NJ.  An article on the excavation appears in Northeast Historical Archaeology (1999) vol. 28.  I also believed that the late Ed Rutsch excavated a few roundhouses.  His reports are probably on file at the NJHPO.

Best,

Rich Veit

Dear Meli,

I excavated a roundhouse in the 1980s in Old Saybrook, CT.  Here is  
the reference:

Historical Archaeology at Saybrook Point, Connecticut: Excavation and  
Interpretation at an Archaeological and Historical Park.  Northeast  
Historical Archaeology 20: 71-90, 1991.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Harold Juli
