Notes A salvage excavation undertaken of three discrete middens around Cape Bridgewater, as part of a field school/training exercise. Investigation included a series of augers to identify the broad location of the midden followed by excavation. One test pits was undertaken at Flinders St midden, and identified seven stratigraphic layers (in a nearby road cutting). Only layers 2-4 (22 cm thick) were found to retain midden material, with lower cultural material coming from above. Eight species of shellfish were identified, with an MNI of 2178. 87% were of Narrow Wedge shell followed by Beaked Mussel. This sample comes from a shell probably originating in layers 2-4, but ending up in layer 10 through later activities (such as pit digging from the upper deposits).
