About this Nonstructure
General Location
Various areas throughout the site where midden appeared to be present.
Specific Location
Selection Criteria
Arbitrary Unit 5 is the Midden/Wall fall sampling stratum in the stratified random sampling portion of the excavations; these are the areas that were thought, prior to excavation, to contain middens or wall fall.
