Abstract

In 2021, we conducted an experiment into shell midden formation processes. We boiled and roasted shellfish, created a midden, and trampled specific parts of it. This report describes the choices we made in the process, the materials we used, the unexpected first results, and some further considerations. We will not delve deeper into the scientific nature of the endeavour, as the micromorphological work is still ongoing.
