Archaeologists say a campsite unearthed just metres from a new highway in Fredericton could be more than 12,000 years old.
The campsite held 600 artifacts, most of which were from tool making, as well as a fire pit containing ancient charcoal...
Artifacts including stone tool fragments and arrowheads that would have been attached to rods to make spears have been found at the site. No ceremonial objects were found at the site.
The campsite is located just metres from the shoulder of a stretch of Route 8.
Suttie estimated the site to be between 11,600 and 12,200 years old.
The site appears to be located on what would have been a beach on a shoreline, which was determined by using predictive measures...
The lake would have been about 10 times the size of Grand Lake, which is the province's largest lake...
Suttie said the site and artifacts are "within 500 years of the oldest evidence we have of people being in the area."
Transportation Minister Bill Fraser visited the dig site and called the site "significant."
"This is very important to the people of New Brunswick," said Fraser. "And we will see that it is protected."

Time will tell, assuming the archeologists and authorities are honest. Don’t need another Kennewick Man mess.

“Do you know, is there any evidence that links these peoples from 12,000 years ago to the present day “First Nation”?”
I think if they get to the DNA analysis level, the anwswer wil be yes.
Thanks.
Could you add me to the Gods, Graves, Glyphs (archaeology) ping list please?
