Oyster shell Deposit at Damariscotta.

The shells are heaped, and among them
were found bones of beasts, birds and men,
and the remains of other shell fish. These
heaps are entirely covered with grass
grown soil. Fragments of stone hatch
ct. and bits of pottery have been found in
them. DIR. Jackson, of Boston, measured
them in 1888, and made them TO be los
rods in length; so to leo rods in width.
and from % to GO feet deep; giving not
less than 1906, 400 cubic feet of shells.
warranting an estimated consumption OF
more than $4,000, 925 bushels of oysters.
If the shells were converted to lime they
would make about 10000, 900 casks. At
some distance below the surface OF the
shells there is second layer OF earth, APP
parently indicating that the deposting
must have stopped at some time sufficient
To allow the layer to accumulate. No
oysters are found in the water of that
vicinity now, and where the shells came
from is a mystery. The writer of the re-
port says that tradition speaks of oysters
having existed their. and that mention Is
made of them in accounts of the Popham
colony. The first obvious. rational deduc
ton is that these shell heaps are the work
ofhuman hands; the second Is that the
original and principal deposit is the ottal
remains of a central and permanent popu-
lation; third, that these heaps mark the
site of homes of long lost people; fourth.
that they were a people who did not eat
their food raw fifth, that succession of
races has been their,-the latter more
nomadic in their habits than the earlier
and of vestiges these shell remains ind-
cate race European in its habits, or
origin. The author then cites evidence
that such deposits have been found in
Denmark. upon the site near Damariscotta.
and that the people were more civilized
than the sayages around them. and closes
the report by suggesting that we must
look 10 the shores of Norway and Den
mark, for a rational solution of the mys-
terry; to the voyages of the Mortimer and
there colonial incursion to the wilds OF
Maine in periods contemporaneous with
or anterior to the Icelandic voyages. of
which history has left authentic records
now coming to light; and TO the lost race
OF the Wawenocks. A race combining in
itself the features of an exotic and Euro
pean origin upon native stock had their
seat OF power here. and these oyster shell
heaps not only support the theory Of such
al origin, but mark the site Of their de-
serted homes, and are the remains of an
abandoned capital, which has succumbed
70 the ravages Of time or war.
