Excavating an Indian Mound Trash Midden with Archaeologists
We not had a couple of hours to try to find Spanish contact metal items. This is not a burial mound. We had to go through the layers quickly as we only had a small window of opportunity for to search while the city installed a water line.

Awesome shell midden. There is no way this is a burial ground because they don’t put burials in there trash pit. I could talk all day why what there are doing is fine
The piece in the beginning that you say is a chisel is from the interior part of a conch shell
Wow all the shells
Great....you found my shell collection.
Did they burn fires on top of burial mounds in Alabama?
That’s a food midden
What about shells for pottery temper
Is this in Mississippi?
This is a midden, a dump for waste, that was not a small scallop, but a Queeny, a completely different shell fish. Sorry but you guys are not clued up.
Chisel looks more like a drill bit
Pretty sketchy Phase 3 test unit excavation method. Be pretty hard to define a level with that picking and gouging midden removal technique. Why is there a need to run a water line through a burial mound when it can be routed around? None of this adds up to the title...
