Great Marpole Midden, Archaeological site in Marpole, Vancouver, Canada

The Great Marpole Midden, also called the Great Fraser Midden or Eburne site, is a shell midden near the mouth of the Fraser River in Vancouver's Marpole neighbourhood. It lies between Montcalm and Milton streets, south of Marine Drive, a few blocks from its national historic marker in Marpole Park. The site holds the ancient Musqueam village of c̓əsnaʔəm and a burial ground.

Coast Salish people lived at the village of c̓əsnaʔəm here for at least 4,000 years, until smallpox reached the Northwest Coast about 200 years ago. The midden was unearthed in 1884 during road work, and Charles Hill-Tout's excavations in 1892 stimulated study of other regional middens. It was designated a National Historic Site in 1933, and the land was returned to the Musqueam First Nation in 2018.

The place reveals how Coast Salish people lived from generation to generation, relying heavily on the sea for their survival. The remains show their skill in working with wood and their deep connection to the water.

The midden lies between Montcalm and Milton streets, south of Marine Drive, a few blocks from the historic marker in Marpole Park. There are no museum facilities or on-site displays, and the surface is uneven ground on residential lots. The Musqueam First Nation owns the land, so treat it as a burial ground and stay on public streets.

The historic marker for the site stands in nearby Marpole Park, while the midden itself lies a few blocks away between Montcalm and Milton streets, south of Marine Drive. The Fraser Arms Hotel, built in the 1950s, destroyed much of the site.
