Human divers, brr!
Actually Lake O. isn’t too bad, rarely ices over. I think the first to swim across was Marilyn Bell (and afaik she’s still alive).
Quick! Have President Trump buy it before Canada can claim it! ;)
“...stone flakes leftover from spear point repair projects.”
My in-laws had a lovely pond on their property, which was a few farms over from mine. On low-water years, we found a lot of arrowheads and ‘repairs’ like this as the shoreline shifted.
Just standing there, in the sunset and the QUIET was a holy experience; you just KNEW the place was once ‘home’ to Native Americans. Very magical.
All they need is a little more money to complete their investigation.

Some would say that the 5 minutes are wasted. Others would not. 
Lake Huron was a fisherman’s paradise in the 80s. I nearly caught a largemouth bass that I could stick my head in it’s mouth. I lost it at the boat when my buddy hung the net in the oarlock. He earned the title of “Pike Bait” after that. We saw an enormous Pike jump completely out of the water that must have been over 5 feet long.
I’ve noticed that same anomaly in southern Ohio where concentration of artifacts are often found near small isolated boulders.
I never thought about natives being displaced by the rising waters of the Great Lakes. There must be a shiite load of archaeology there.
Good thing they’re doing archaeology in Lake Huron. Superior, it’s said, never gives up her dead...
