On midden lA, a small pit (trench 2), 8 to 5 feet, was staked out just behind the crest of the face, and a drain 2 feet wide was dug down the face.

It was slightly narrower at the bottom than at the top. The depth of deposit made it impossible in the available time to complete trench 2, and the structure of the layers in the drain made it unnecessary to do so, so the trench was discontinued at 42 inches. The results of the excavations at Roscoe Inlet 1 and lA are of some importance. Both middens were shown to be composed of well differ-.
