An elaborate array of linear stone lanes and V-shaped structures has been discovered on an underwater ridge in Lake Huron, marking what is thought to be the most complex set of ancient hunting structures ever found beneath the Great Lakes, according to a new report.

Researchers based at the University of Michigan think the roughly 9,000-year-old-structure helped natives corral caribou herds migrating across what was then an exposed land-corridor the so-called Alpena-Amberley Ridge connecting northeast Michigan to southern Ontario. The area is now covered by 120 feet of water, but at the time, was exposed due to dry conditions of the last ice age.

I was sort of wondering, too. He’s probably checking to see if we’re awake.

[RitchieAprile]

I don’t see how this looks necessarily manmade.

[Rebelbase]

Not always but more likely than not linear features in an otherwise void landscape tend to indicate human activity.

[BenLurkin]

Sounds fishy.

And the wonder is, how did the caribou manage to hold their breath?

[SunkenCiv]

I tried it years ago.

Interesting.

This Lake Huron find appears to have been from 2009, based on decimon's topic of that time (linked earlier in this topic), but here's similar finds from a different site, in Grand Traverse Bay, also posted in 2009.

Glad I wasn’t drinking something when I read that! Well done.

Who is an expert . . .

[SunkenCiv]

By the time Europeans arrived, caribou did the fandango.

Lake Michigan's Stonehenge You never know what you might find when you go for a dive, especially if you keep your eyes open for something unusual. In 2007, the archaeologists were studying the Lake Michigan's floor, and they were surprised to find a Stonehenge-like stone formations on the bottom. The stones are aligned in a circle 40 feet below the surface of the lake. One of the stones features a picture of an animal that was extinct for over 10,000 years. [Image source: www.scubaq.ca]
