Maine's coastline is home to more than 2,000 archaeologically documented shell middens and virtually all of them are quietly eroding into the ocean, putting invaluable records of Maine's cultural and environmental history at risk. It is a trend that is likely to continue in the face of increased storm activity and sea level rise. Researchers at the University of Maine are racing to document the important sites using ground penetrating radar and develop new ways to preserve Maine's ancient coastal heritage.
