Mussel Point also known as Mike Taylor's Midden (MTM) is possibly the largest of 13 megamiddens found along the South African West Coast. MTM is the only open site with remains from the early pottery period (3000 and 2000 years before present) in the Elands Bay and Lamberts Bay areas at 32°18′S 18°19′E / 32.300°S 18.317°E.

| - Mussel Point, también conocido como Mike Taylor's Midden (MTM), es posiblemente el más grande de los 13 megamiddens que se encuentran a lo largo de la costa oeste de Sudáfrica. MTM es el único sitio abierto con restos del período temprano de la alfarería (3000 y 2000 años antes del presente) en las áreas de Elands Bay y Lamberts Bay. Son pocos los acúmulos de conchas encontrados a lo largo de la costa oeste de Sudáfrica que sean tan grandes y profundos como Mussel Point. Estos sitios muy grandes, llamados "megamiddens", son la expresión de soluciones sociales y económicas (de subsistencia) únicas a los desafíos ambientales y demográficos que enfrentaron los cazadores-recolectores precoloniales entre 3000 y 2000 años antes del presente (BP). MTM es de al menos 350 metros (382,8 yd) largo y 200 metros (218,7 yd) ancho y tiene una profundidad que varía entre 1 a 1,5 metros (39,4 a 59,1 plg). Data de entre 980 y 2800 AP, sin embargo, gran parte de esta secuencia ocupacional data de entre 2100 y 2500 AP. Por esta razón, MTM es singular entre los megamiddens ya que ofrece la mejor resolución cronológica (mayor volumen por tiempo más corto) para la última parte de este período único de la historia precolonial de Sudáfrica.

- Mussel Point also known as Mike Taylor's Midden (MTM) is possibly the largest of 13 megamiddens found along the South African West Coast. MTM is the only open site with remains from the early pottery period (3000 and 2000 years before present) in the Elands Bay and Lamberts Bay areas at 32°18′S 18°19′E / 32.300°S 18.317°E. There are only a handful of shell middens along the West Coast of South Africa that are as large and deep as Mussel Point. These very large sites, named "megamiddens", are the expression of unique social and economic (subsistence) solutions to environmental and demographic challenges that precolonial San hunter-gatherers faced between 3000 and 2000 years before present (BP). MTM is at least 350 metres (1,150 ft) long and 200 metres (660 ft) wide and has a depth that varies between 1.0 to 1.5 metres (39 to 59 in). It dates to between 980 and 2800 BP, however, much of this occupational sequence dates to between 2100 and 2500 BP. For this reason, MTM is singular among megamiddens in that it offers the best chronological resolution (greatest volume for shortest time) for the later part of this unique period of the precolonial history of South Africa.
