By: Theler, James L..
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Theler describes the excavations and findings from the Mill Pond site, a multicomponent site with two shell middens. Of particular interest are the faunal remains from this site as they were quite extensive, probably due to the shell midden. Ceramics, features, the shell midden, points, bifaces, and other stone tools are described. The faunal remains include vertebrate and large numbers of freshwater mussels. The site appears to have been a short-term camp.
