Somebody probably got tired of her antics.

They become less mysterious if they’re found with concrete overshoes.

I dated a girl who had a houseful of heirloom furniture.
I broke up with her when I got tired of her antiques.

I don’t know how we all missed this one two years ago.

Probably marked the shoreline back then. And 5000 years is a guess, but probably a guess. It would be hard to date something like a stone cairn underwater. The closer you get to 10k years ago, the more likely the ending Ice Age was still melting away and lakes were lower.

If it's the Rossen culture, the internments might look like this:

I wonder if they’ve looked for underwater constances at Lake Cairns. Seems like a good idea.

I wonder if these karens had guilty constances...

Not a clue, but I wonder if they were some kind of boundary, or trail marker.

Not a clue, but I wonder if they were some kind of boundary, or trail marker. And it said they were 30 meters across? Maybe some astronomical or religious sites?
Lord only knows what we have no clue of from 5k years on back. I enjoy these threads a lot.

If the lake bed was a gouge out by an ice sheet, it would have filled up with water as the ice melted. Would it ever have been empty enough for humans to do anything in it?
Also, Cairns. I wonder if those are a hint at the prehistoric existence of Karens? Pronounced nearly the same.
I wonder if large piles of stacked rocks are called cairns because Karen’s yelled at people until the rocks got stacked?

I wonder if they were shoreline anchors for fishing nets or something similar
