(1) David McOmish started talking about East Chisenbury on Salisbury Plain, which is a midden of refuse so large and strange it re-defines the concept of u251cu00f6u251cu00e7u251cu2510rubbishu251cu00f6u251cu00e7u251cu00fb and its u251cu00f6u251cu00e7u251cu2510disposalu251cu00f6u251cu00e7u251cu00fb.

(2) The plaster probably was dumped in the midden during one of the construction campaigns.

(3) The junk itself is a collection of fossils from our evolutionary history, which makes it interesting in the same way that a midden is interesting to archeologists.

(4) The Englishman's Castle is situated on a midden of great antiquity.

(5) One video showed Bushell looking disparagingly at another house and saying how filthy it was and how much of a midden it was, a phrase he used repeatedly.

(6) A midden (rubbish pile) was found at the outer limit of one trench, where the original island occupants dumped their discarded food remains.

(8) They showed her the midden , an open heap of manure and dirt, the same one she had seen the women dump the buckets on the day before, then they told her now was the time to use it if she had to.

(9) So the pack-rat middens are time capsules of local vegetation allowing us to reconstruct what happened.

(15) All soil from each feature, collected by zone and level, and the soil from most of the middens was saved for flotation.

(16) Now, their pyramid-shaped middens , or mussel-shell dumps, stand along the coastline like memorial cairns.

(17) But we've found bones of bear, deer, horse and wild boar in some of these middens .

(18) The number of shell middens along the south Atlantic coast can never be determined accurately because many were destroyed in the early part of the 20th century.

(19) Shell middens reveal much about diet and food-gathering practices.

(20) In archaeological parlance such trash deposits are known as middens .
