Abstract: In this study the author investigated a Late Archaic aboriginal shell midden known as the Palmer Site, located on the central Gulf Coast of Florida. The purpose of this investigation was to sample and classify all biological and cultural remains or artifacts found within specific test pits. Particular emphasis was placed on the analysis of the qualitative and quantitative modifications that appeared in the valves or shells of the phylum Mollusca. The valves of the Virginia Oyster (Crassostrea virginica Gmelin) and the Bay Scallop (Pectin irradians Lamarck) were carefully counted and measured, the information obtained being used in the final analysis.
