A total of 16 m2 was excavated to full depth while the surface deposit only was removed from one further square metre. Three separate excavations were sites in the middle of Plots 10 and 11, on the crest of the low dune ridge where the subsurface shell was thickest (Figure 17). The excavations were of 6 m2 , 3 m2 and 8 m2 of which one metre did not go deeper than ‘surface’. A GPS co-ordinate taken at square M22 is as follows:Although few proper shell midden layers were encountered, the various zones of shells were fairly readily separable during excavation. Schematic drawings of the excavation sections are presented in Figure 18 and photographs of the excavations.
