thegretstar commented on the word midden
In archaeology the contents of a midden are specific to the area. Coastal middens will have mainly shells with sea mammal and fish bones, where as a midden at a site in the desert will likely consist of very different materials, whatever is available for human consumption and discardation.
We usually refer to them as "pre-historic garbage heaps"
