Sheeshe!
I really misread the title mistaking underwater with underwear and I noticed the 9,000 year old ‘stone’ reference.
and thought ???????????
Good article bad skimming by me...
9k years?
Not that exciting considering the rocks they’re sitting on are around 4.5 billion years old.
That obsidian flow is pretty neat, went there a few years back.

PING
So they show us a picture of bubbles? I suppose that resolutely concludes that they are underwater, but not much else.
9,000-year-old stone tool artifacts ... The find in Lake Huron is part of a broader study to understand the social and economic organization of caribou hunters at the end of the last ice age
At 9,000 years (7,000 BC) the were made long after the Ice Age ended and after the Younger Dryas Event (10,800BC- 9,800BC) which ended 2,800 years prior.
Drive by writing.
I believe that the most significant fact concerning these obsidian artifacts is that their original source was on the West Coast, in Oregon and was found in the Great Lakes.
Lithic artifacts moved considerable distances during the Paleoindian era, but mostly from the East toward the West, with many of them ending up in caches that were never recovered in antiquity. This tells us that ancient people in the Great Lakes traded with people from the West Coast, or that there was a trading network that connected these people to exchange this obsidian.
SUVs around Lake Huron 9000 years ago buried these artifacts in rising ocean levels???
Oh those evil cave dwellers!
I found a piece of obsidian when I was in 2nd grade in Trenton NJ. I showed it to my teacher/nun and she told me what it was. Wish I still had it. I also found some when I was at NTC (Mojave). I have a box of flint and chert from there
The indians must have gotten lost...
“Many moons ago, tribe leave Massachusetts because Pilgrims ruin neighborhood! Tribe travel west, over stream, over river, over mountain, over mountain, over river, over stream!
Then come big day... tribe fall over cliff. That when Hekawi get name. Medicine man say to my ancestor, “I think we lost. Where the heck are we?”.
“Where the heck are we?” became “We’re the Hekawi”
...Water levels were much lower then; scientists have found, for example, ancient sites like stone walls and hunting blinds that are now 100 feet underwater.

The see was 100 feet lower before the series of meltwater pulses following the end of the last Ice Age. 10,000 years ago these was no North Sea. England was attached to Europe in a single landmass.
I just hope who ever created them were indigenous to the area and didn’t come from somewhere else.
Acting all high and mighty. Saying their way of worshipping the stars was the only true way to worship the stars.
