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 (3,000 and 2,000 years before present) in the Elands Bay and Lamberts Bay areas at 32°18′S 18°19′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.
