A TAS member uncovers a section of a dense oyster shell layer in the Cross Area excavations in 1978. This feature was labeled as a "shell floor," and was hypothesized to represent the floor of house. Later work suggested it was more likely an ordinary shell midden, a refuse deposit from the consumption of oysters. Photo by Norman Flaigg, TARL Archives.
