This paper presents data on the exploitation of coastal shell middens within the framework of formation and transformation processes for this type archaeological deposit. The extensive use of shell middens worldwide for agricultural, construction, and commercial purposes indicates that the archaeological record for past shellfishing cultures may be distorted by secondary sites or complete loss of evidence
