N1 - Funding Information:
The research reported here has been funded by the National Park Service through its Cultural Resources Preservation Program. This research is part of the Service's continuing effort to inventory, assess, and understand the archeological remains under its jurisdiction. Special thanks for their suPpo~. of this project are due to Ross Holland, Doug Scovill, Charlie Clapper, and Herb Olsen, Superintendent of the National Seashore. All of the individuals who have worked on the CACO Archeological Survey deserve thanks for their efforts. Of particular importance for the data and analysis presented here has been the diligence of Chris Borstel, Jim Bradley, Terry Childs, and Elena Filios who have served as supervisors for the project at one time or another. Al Am-merman, George Cowgill, Al Dekin, Bill Fitzhugh, Bert Salwen, Chuck Redman, Nan Rothschild, and James Wiseman generously provided advice and comments on earlier versions of this article or the Survey planning. I hope they agree with my use of their suggestions. Irene Duff has skillfully and patiently typed numerous drafts of this and other papers and deserves great credit. Carol A. Pierce and recently Adalie Mae Pierce-McManamon have tolerated my late hours and forgotten chores because of the Survey. My thanks to all of them and the unnamed others for their help.

N2 - Preliminary analysis of archeological survey data indicates that prehistoric use of coastal southern New England (represented by outer Cape Cod, Massachusetts) was year-round and more diverse than has been suggested by the traditional emphasis on coastal shell middens. Prehistoric settlement seems to have been concentrated mainly at a few locations with large, intervening unsettled areas. A stratified random sampling strategy allowed estimates of the relative frequency of different kinds and magnitudes of activities in and between the intensively settled sections. Quantitative analysis of the lithic assemblages and structural characteristics of discovered sites permitted inferences about the kinds and intensity of prehistoric activities.
