The midden, which is of Late Prehistoric date, had been badly eroded, and the Canadian Parks Service excavated what remained of it in 1987-88. By stripping the midden in its entirety and using overhead photography, we were able to detect configurations not readily noted in limited excavations. Sorting patterns were detected, the result of a selective subsistence strategy. The subsistence system also included walrus hunting, and walrus bone is prominent in the faunal assemblage. A small living site dating from the Late Archaic period was found directly beneath the shell midden. No shell remains were associated with it.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
