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
