the woodland remains show at least two settlements over an unknown amount of time; however, it is known that this time included some warm seasons. the majority of artifacts recovered from the woodland period were pottery. pottery was discovered at 1825 locations and at least 68 vessels are represented by the remains. fifty-one of the vessels are though to belong to a pottery classification known as salt lake ware. salt lake ware is a well known ceramic style common to central and eastern minnesota and is defined by its straight rim and chord marked decoration style. six other vessels are thought to belong to a style of pottery known as sandy lake plain, which differs only slightly from the more abundant salt lake ware. its only difference is a stick impressed decoration trend. however, thirteen vessels found at the mooney site are very different than both the sandy lake plain style and the salt lake style. the 6 odd vessels were given a new classification known as red river ware and are distinguished by a rolled lip. despite the large number of pottery found, lithic materials were scarce. less than three hundred total stone tools and pieces of lithic debris were found. of those, only 255 artifacts were from the woodland period, which is the period from which the majority of the recovered pottery at the site dates. this puts the pottery to lithics remains at an astounding 5/1 ratio. the majority of the few stone remains found were made of native swan river chert and quartz. however, some exotic materials were found such as a piece of obsidian. in all, only three different kinds of stone tools were found at the site: bifaces, scrapers, and utilized flakes.
