The Vancouver Sun [Canada],January 7, 2012
The recovery of a mysterious wooden pole at the bottom of Lake Huron is
fuelling excitement among U.S. and Canadian researchers that they
havefound more evidence of a "lost world" of North American caribou
hunters from nearly 10,000 years ago. The scientists believe these
prehistoric people - who would have been among the earliest inhabitants
of the continent - had a "kill site" along a ridge along the present-day
U.S.-Canada border that was eventually submerged by rising waters when
the glaciers melted at the end of the last Ice Age. Now drowned under
about 35 metres of water in Lake Huron, the Alpena-Amberley Ridge is
named for the Michigan and Ontario towns that respectively mark the
western and eastern ends of the 160-kilometre-long, 16-km-wide feature.
