Check out Hume's Martin's Hundred and Deetz's Flowerdew Hundred for
early
(1600s) pits used as short term living quarters, possibly covered
with canvas
or somesuch temporary roofing. There are northern European
precedences for this
type of structure, Dutch, English. Sorry I don't have anything more
specific at
hand.
Good luck,

Gene and Laird, we found one of those at Jordan's Point (1620s) as
well, but only had time and money for slight testing before the house
was slated for destruction by developers. Sad irony is, I think the
site's still there, and I don't have funding this year for Jordan's
Point, and the land-owner isn't being very helpful. I'm going to try
to go back to National Geo again for some emergency funding.
