Excerpt from An Account of Some of the Kjoekkenmoeddings, or Shell-Heaps, in Maine and Massachusetts The former dwelling-places of the Aborigines of the United States are nowhere more plainly indicated than along the seaboard, where some of the tribes passed a portion, at least, of each year, in hunting and fishing; some no doubt living there permanently, while others, it appears, made Visits only at stated periods.* The clam, the quahog, the scallop, and the oyster, entered largely into their food, and the castaway shells of these, piled up during many years, have not only become monuments of their sea - Shore life, but have largely aided in the preser vation of the bones of the animals on which they fed, and also of some of the more perishable implements used in their rude arts.
