| Summary |
"The Emeryville Shellmound" by Max Uhle is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles archaeological excavations and findings at the Emeryville Shellmound, a significant site located on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay. The text focuses on the archaeological evidence of early inhabitants of the area, their artifacts, and the cultural practices reflected in the mound's structure and contents. The opening of the work introduces the importance of the shellmounds found along the California coast, noting their rarity compared to other archaeological remains in the United States. It describes the collaborative effort of Professor John C. Merriam and Dr. Uhle in excavating the Emeryville mound, emphasizing its notable size and the various strata of artifacts within it. Initial observations about the mound's topography are accompanied by a historical context detailing past human settlements and the significance of the excavation as a window into the lives of the region's early inhabitants.
