"The researchers located what they believe to be caribou-hunting structures and camps used by the early hunters of the period.

"Without the archeological sites from this intermediate time period, you can't tell how they got from point A to point B, or Paleo-Indian to Archaic," O'Shea said. "This is why the discovery of sites preserved beneath the lakes is so significant."
Perhaps more exciting than the hunting structures themselves is the hope they bring that intact settlements are preserved on the lake bottom. These settlements could contain organic artifacts that deteriorate in drier, acidic soils on land.
The research is funded by the National Science Foundation."-

The National Science Foundation is funded by the US Government. Without federal funding for this and many many other scientific endeavors we would never have learned a good deal of what we know now. I think these things are important. Others may call it pork.
