Title	Shell mound
Contact	mailto:nctcimages@fws.gov
Creator	Hillebrand, Steve
Description	This ancient feature was initially created by Archaic cultures and completed by Woodland period cultures. Its height was reached by the discarding the shells of their food source - oysters, clams, and other mullosks. over a 6,000 time span. Once used as a source of materials for road construction (prior to Refuge ownership) the mound is now protected from all but foot traffic.
