The location that I chose, the "Kettle Hole Trail", is part of the Long Island Greenbelt Pine trail system that winds through the Pine barrens, and climbs from a glacial topography of outwash plain to a hummocky terminal moraine.
The Kettle Hole trail begins on the northern edge of the outwash plains and eventually climbs onto the Ronkonkoma Moraine, in an area that has been described at classically knob and kettle (Fuller, 1914).
Kettles are formed when large blocks of ice, left behind from the receding glacier, are covered by outwash sediments.

 Welcome to Captains Golf Course
A scenic par three with a green framed by bunkers that was considered by many to be the signature hole of the original Captains, this downhill hole may require one less club than you think off the tee.
Another hole where accuracy off the tee is more important than length, especially when you factor in a green that is guarded by a mature oak short and left and a yawning bunker right front.
Take the hint of the fairway bunkers for the second hole in a row in order to avoid the mature trees that infringe on the left side of the fairway between the landing area and the green.

 Welcome to Captains Golf Course
Relatively flat, this starting hole bends slightly left and requires a mid to short iron into a two level green flanked by bunkers.
Playing longer than its length due to the sidehill nature of the landing area and the decidedly uphill shot to the green, a par on the second is a great score.
The drive zone is guarded left by a long bunker and the second landing area features a kettle hole along its right side.

Implements should be precisely plotted in already during the reconnaissance phase and the small probes supplemented with excavation of larger holes, of 1 sq.m., for example, in the centre of the concentrations, in order to obtain sufficiently characteristic material for this purpose.
In connection with these, a kettle hole was found with well-preserved organic material, including reindeer bones and a flint implement about 70 m north-west of the settlement heap (fig.

 Port Jefferson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
As the kettle hole is beyond the Harbor Hill Moraine the ice chunk had to be ripped from the glacier and itself deposited beyond the moraine.
As it is just as likely that the kettle hole was formed over an extended period from minor flood events since an ice chunk of this size is capable of existing in the permafrost region just beyond the ice sheet for a great deal of time.
Fuller, 1914, identified several of the kettle holes in the Port Jefferson region and made the assertion that the outwash fan in question rested on the glacial ice.

BEDROCK GEOLOGY: The Kettle moraine is underlain by Silurian-age dolomite for the northeastern two-thirds of its length and by Ordovician dolomite for the southwestern third, beginning in Waukesha County (Ostrom 1981, Morey et al.
LANDFORMS: The Kettle moraine is steep ice-disintegration topography, with numerous kettle lakes on steep ridges of fluvial sand and gravel.
Farther to the north, where strings of kettle lakes and steep moraines created fire barriers, sugar maple-basswood forests were largely unbroken on the landscape, except where conifer swamps occupied small wetlands.

Figure 9 shows the relationship between buried ice and collapse morphology in kettle holes and the ice-contact head of outwash.
The original kettle hole was far from round, but wave erosion and deposition along the shore have trimmed off headlands and closed off embayments in the shoreline much as they do along the ocean shore.
Other kettle pond basal sediments are much younger and appear to indicate the time when the rising water table, caused by the rising sea level, first intersected the floor of the kettle hole.

Lined with thick oak and pine woods, Walden Pond is a 102-foot-deep "kettle hole," about 2 miles in circumference, fringed with hiking and biking trails.
Kettle holes were formed by melting glaciers during the last days of the Ice Age, about 12,000 years ago.

It should be supplemented by the excavation of larger holes at the centre of the concentrations, since this will give a greater chance of recording types of implement that are characteristic of the culture.
It is informative in this context to mention the situation of a distinct forced passage, a fairly large lake and a kettle hole, and the abundant occurrences of unworked flint on the hillside immediately to the east of the settlements.
It is hoped that some of these questions will be resolved in conjunction with future investigations, which will involve further studies of the kettle hole and its immediate surroundings and the taking of core samples in the Late Glacial lacustrine deposits further to the north.

Even the very bottom layer of water in the deepest kettle hole has lost half its salt content: at 6 m it has dropped from about 22 ppt in 1988-1991 to about 15 ppt in 1997.
In fact, SEA students sampled the deep kettle hole in early October 1998 after a stretch of very windy days and found a salinity of 1.4 ppt from top to the very bottom: the whole pond had gotten turned over, probably for the first time since hurricane Bob in 1991.
