Logical...go where the food supply, the fish supply, goes.
One of the observations made about the Neandertal (I'm going to bring it up, although it probably won't be brought up because it won't be very common knowledge) is that current data suggest that Neandertal didn't eat fish. However, during much of their sojourn in Europe, the bulk of their population would have lived on lands now flooded and at that time warmer and richer in food supply. :')
Neanderthals didn't eat fish? How surprising, when fish were so plentiful. Images of Native Americans spearing fish in the streams comes to mind.
That was discerned from the refuse that survives.
How long do fish bones survive? Maybe they crumble to dust before buffalo bones.
In fact, it looks like America was a melting pot long before Columbus got here.
Not sure, but it's probably quite a while, particularly if they wind up fossilizing. :')

This thread is good for another bump.
From mummies to murders:Recent advances in research techniques such as facial profiling, isotope differentiation and carbon dating enable physical anthropologists like Macko to discover the age, gender, diet, living conditions and cause of death of their subjects, human or non-human, with as little as a single fragment of hair or bone. In the spotlight because of high-profile projects, physical anthropology has extended beyond the lab to television shows, crime scenes and the classroom.

They never could have done this if the kelp highway had a toll.
