Alternate Code & Name: MPE 57
This site is located two dune cordons behind MPE, and was exposed by one of the exploration tracks. The site is currently 5 cm below the surface of the track and extends beyond both sides of the track. MPE57 consists of at least one undisturbed shell midden: more of the site probably occurs in the vegetation adjacent to that rack. The midden appears to be well preserved and consists mostly of Perna perna. A few pottery sherds were observed near the midden. One of these sherds is part of a pot lid. The pottery appears to be Early Iron Age, or early Late Iron Age.
The site consists of a single, intact shell midden. It is possible that it extends into the roadside vegetation. Pottery: Appears more EIA than LIA, but is undecorated. 1x Lid. SAMPLED Shell: Perna Perna
