Investigations in Kiln centered around five previously known sites that ranged from the Paleoindian to the early 20th century. In order to further our knowledge of the timbering industry in south Mississippi, one unlisted historic sawmill was also chosen.

Investigators encountered primarily 19th and 20th century historic remains associated with these sites.
