The Cornett Archeological Site (44WY1) is a prehistoric and historic Native American site in Wythe County, Virginia. The site is located on a terrace above the north bank of the New River, about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) outside Austinville.[2] It is a village site, which was occupied during the Late Woodland period, and offers evidence of significantly earlier occupation. The village had a well-defined plaza area, and may have been surrounded by a palisade.[3] Formal excavations of the site have recovered pottery sherds, stone tools, and ceramic and metal trade items. The site has also been subjected to excavations by local collectors.[2]
