	Lake Monroe Outlet Midden (8VO53) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The Lake Monroe Outlet Midden is located on the northwestern shore of Lake Monroe in Volusia County, FL, where the St. Johns River narrows back into its channel after widening to become the lake.
		Deep, stratified middens containing great quantities of freshwater molluscs occupy part of the sand ridge, along with an Archaic Period lithics workshop that was set apart from the general living area.
		Phase III excavation at the Lake Monroe Outlet Midden Site (8VO53) was conducted by Archaeological Consultants, Inc. (ACI), Sarasota, Florida in association with Janus Research (JR), St. Petersburg, Florida on behalf of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District Five.

		Midden lenses were recognized by their distinctively dark color and compact consistency.
		Distinct midden lenses were identified in ten of the eighteen test trenches that extended beyond the inner stockade line (Figure 21).
		The presence of midden deposits at the periphery of the village settlement appeared to reflect an organized method of refuse disposal that involved the dumping of trash outside of the habitation area and, in many cases, beyond the stockade wall.

	Packrat Midden Analysis
		One of the first realizations of the paleoecological importance of midden deposits came from P. Wells and D. Jorgensen in 1961, at Aysees Peak in the Mojave Desert, which is the highest mountain in the extremely arid Frenchman Flat area (Wells, 1976).
		The packrat midden that was analyzed sat at an elevation of 6,270 feet.
		The significance of this midden is that bristlecone pine does not occur on Clark Mountain today, but occurs in the massive Spring Range to the north, at an elevation 5,600 feet higher than the elevation with which it was growing during the late Pleistocene.

		Middle English is the name given by historical linguistics to the diverse forms of the English language spoken between the Norman invasion in 1066 and the mid-to-late 15th century, when the Chancery Standard, a form of London-based English, began to become widespread, a process aided by the...

		Packrat midden evidence indicates that pinyon pines (Pinus edulis and Pinus monophylla) lived in the modern southwestern deserts during the last glacial maximum (18,000 yr B.P.) until at least late glacial time (12,000 yr B.P.).

	Land Use History of the Colorado Plateau-Packrat Middens
		Midden is an archeological term meaning roughly "garbage pile," so the study of packrat middens is really the dissection of old garbage piles left by packrats.
		The fossils contained within the midden preserve a record of the plants and animals that lived within a packrat’s range (usually 30 to 100 meters) of the fossil site.
		Research results from packrat midden studies on the Colorado Plateau have produced results showing that in the late Pleistocene era most plant species grew 2000 to 3300 feet (600 to 1000 m) lower in elevation than today.

		The term was first used in Danish to describe the middens of the Ertebolle culture and is also used as an adjective for the people who create middens.
		Middens are a valuable source of archaeological data.
		Sometimes the midden is a dump or trash pile separate from the residential area, but more commonly among hunters and gatherers the houses are on top of the midden itself.

	FIELDWORK AT SCRI-549
		The red abalone midden stratum, Stratum II, was easily accessible, and after creating a vertical face along a gully wall, one of the members of the field team excavated a 25 by 25 cm column in eight somewhat vague stratigraphic divisions.
		Midden strata III, IV, and V were excavated within a "window" cut into the gully wall to avoid having to excavate the sterile deposits above and below this set of strata.
		The basal midden stratum, Stratum VI, was exposed adjacent to the working platform at the base of the gully, so this was excavated as a 25 by 25 cm sample much in the manner that Stratum II was excavated.

	Packrat Midden Analysis
		Midden deposits were radiocarbon-dated and developed as a paleoecological method after it was discovered that these middens contained evidence of coniferous woodland at what are now desert elevations in the arid Mojave Desert region of southern Nevada (Wells, 1976).
		Plant remains in ancient packrat middens, which are preserved in dry rockshelters in many North American deserts, have allowed reconstructions of local vegetation and regional climate for the last 10,000 to 45,000 years of the Wisconsinan/Holocene glacial-interglacial cycle (Van Devender et al., 1994).
		Fossilized packrat middens are important in paleoecological reconstruction of past climate because of the plant and animal material they contain.

	Packrat Midden Research in the Grand Canyon
		In the 1960s it was discovered that deposits left in caves and crevices by packrats (packrat middens) contained assemblages of fossil plants that formerly grew nearby.
		In general, the packrat middens from the Grand Canyon revealed that many plant species are now growing 700 to 900 m (2300 to 3000 feet) higher in elevation and 400 to 700 km (250 to 430 miles) further up-river than the were in the Pleistocene (Figure 1).
		The Grand Canyon midden record reveals the last ice age to be a time of relatively stable conditions when compared to the Holocene.
