If I found something ancient, I wouldn’t say a word. It would just become a family heirloom.

artificial islands = defendable position - easier than digging deep moats on rocky ground.
To: SunkenCiv
A little more challenging than snorkeling in the Keys.

Important question don’t you think?

The archaeologists don't know why they were throwing these pots into the loch nearly 6000 years ago - was it a sacrifice to water gods? "I swear Og, you drop one more water pot into the lake and I am throwing you in after it!"

I’m guessing as the water continued to rise they just kept piling the rocks up over the years/centuries? Of course that meant starting off with a 10 acre island and ending up with a 3 acre one.
And maybe the sacrifices were to the ocean God. “Okay - give it a pot so it doesn’t take anymore of our land!”

Were they artificial islands or pre sea-level rise hill forts?

I got a key stuck in the snorkel one time, it was rough.
