Interesting article, thank you. But… One barbed harpoon was once used to spear salmon and eels 3,000 years ago… how do they know this? Maybe it was used to spear rattlesnakes or something. This is where archaeologists lose me. All they have to do is quit while they are ahead rather than rattle on.

It's a Mi'kmaq, Paddy-wak! Give the frog a loan

Sorry. Old maritimes joke.

"There was a real functioning civilization here when the Europeans began to come here en masse, but the proof has been virtually destroyed. And all of a sudden we are finding the proof."

LOL! How is tribal, stone-age hunting and gathering a CIVILIZATION? That word is way over-used.

First I would envy the collection any one of the RCMP has now. Second, no ray guns?

Sure there was. But I haven't seen much proof to indicate that this 8,000 year old civilization had anything to do with the Mi'kmaqs. In fact, it almost certainly didn't. Who knows who they were?
