The coast of Long Island is dotted with shellheaps, both large and small, of which all but a few are true kitchen middens of the pre-white contact period. This is particularly true of the region investigated by the writer, from the New York City line to Stony Brook on the North Shore. In only one heap examined prior to 1936 did a single artifact of European origin present itself. In that instance, a badly corroded triangular arrow of iron was found in a pit surrounded by deep deposits of shell and other refuse that contained not one fragment of metal, glass, or crockery. In this heap the majority of arrow points were of local quartz, and triangular in pattern. The pottery was abundant, and though most sherds were of typical Long Island Algonkin vessels, there was a fair amount of definitely Iroquoian ware including a small, nearly complete, square-collared pot that cannot be distinguished from a Mohawk Valley specimen.

New Hypothesis

AbstractMuskeeta Cove 2 is a stratified, two-component Woodland site on the north shore of Long Island in Glen Cove, Nassau County, New York. The earlier occupation, in the upper 6 in. of a glacial sand zone, is attributed, on the evidence of its ceramic content, to the earlier segment of the Windsor tradition, most probably its North Beach focus. The second occupation, in a thin layer of black midden earth and shell overlying the sand, is more difficult to identify culturally. By many criteria, most of its pottery can be assigned to the Bowmans Brook focus of the East River tradition, but this assemblage is most distinctive for the disconcerting way in which it blends Bowmans Brook ceramic traits with those of the contemporary Sebonac (Windsor) and Canandaigua (Owasco) foci—often on the same sherds. This mixture of traits has prompted the suggestion that, in this boundary region at least, the generally accepted invasion-replacement relationship between East River and Windsor must be reexamined. After analysis of the pottery from this site, in which the distributions of individual modes as well as their combinations into whole types are considered, a new hypothesis is tentatively advanced: Early East River pottery is seen as the result of the blending of Sebonac, Canandaigua, and central New Jersey decorative modes on vessels with the constricted necks and elongateglobular bodies that were the dominant formal horizon markers throughout the entire region at this time level. Diffusion, rather than invasion, would appear to be the central process here.

Severe Erosion

Prior to construction at Fire Island Inlet, Fire Island was moving westward at more than 200 feet per year, the north shore of the inlet was eroding severely, and navigation in the inlet was difficult. The Federal Jetty, completed in 1941, and the sand dike, built in 1959, have halted the westward migration, eliminated the severe erosion, and partially improved navigation, with minimal maintenance or repair to the structures. There has been a large net accretion of sand east of the jetty and west of the dike, an unknown part of which is at the expense of shores to the west of the inlet. At the State Park on the south side of the inlet interior, erosion accelerated, probably because of the dike. The middle and ocean segments of the 4750-foot Federal Jetty are now (1987) in good condition, although the design implies a stability coefficient for the quarrystone jetty head at time of construction that would now be considered risky. Stability has been promoted by a stone blanket under and east of the jetty, a thick stone apron seaward of the jetty, a low (8 feet MLW) crest, and armor stone that has been partially keyed in place. Damage due to scour, common at other single-jetty inlets, is absent here because longshore transport, which easily overtops the low crest, keeps the inlet channel away from the jetty. Although the two seaward segments of the jetty remain in good condition, the inshore segment of the jetty is in poor condition, despite its apparently sheltered location. The cumulative effects of waves, possibly channeled to the site along recurved spits during storms, have damaged 1200 feet, and tidal scour has destroyed about 230 feet. The damaged segment has a design cross section which is onefifth and one-twelfth the cross sections of the jetty trunk and head.

Expanding Population

Ever since its entry from New York State in the late 1960s, the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae), has continued to expand its distribution in Ontario to the north and west (Nealis and Erb 1993). Outbreaks were recorded for the first time in the Sudbury – North Bay region in the early 1990s, by which time there was evidence of resident populations extending along the north shore of Lake Huron as far west as Lake Superior. The population expansion along the north shore is characterized by a patchy occurrence of small outbreaks, which typically last for a few years and then disappear (Annual Forest Health Reports, Great Lakes Forestry Centre, http://www.glfc.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/foresthealth/index_e.html). Nealis et al. (1999) found that winter weather, parasitoids, and the gypsy-moth-specific fungal pathogen Entomophaga maimaiga Humber, Shimazu et Soper (Zygomycetes: Entomophthorales) were the most prominent sources of mortality in those transient outbreaks.

The north shore (new york) school District asks me periodically to teach a class of selected fourth- and fifth-grade students. On those occasions, I choose problems that employ important mathematics, use more than one concept, contain subtleties, or allow for a variety of solutions. In this article, I share students' thinking as they attempted to solve a nonroutine problem from a past contest created by the Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools. My two major mathematical goals were to elicit creativity in devising solutions and to emphasize the idea that any problem might have several equally valid solutions.
