- At GbTo-54, the cultural deposits ranged from thin drapes of midden, similar to those at GbTo-13, to complex shell midden almost 2 m deep. The cultural deposits were discontinuous which has allowed for post-excavation numbering of the contiguous areas (Figure 7). Shelly deposits often overlay cultural deposits with little or shell. Large features, which are discussed separately in this report, were often defined stratigraphically, in both vertical and horizontal dimensions.
