Where was Al Gore and the Hollywood crowd when these people needed them?

I guess they just migrated inland.

this will confirm that we need a tax on carbon emissions

Sure, the Navy just loves to spend cash looking for old baskets. Wink, wink. Nod, nod. Know what I mean?

"Nobody's ever found anything from 20,000 years ago offshore, but that's because nobody has ever looked," said anthropologist David Robinson, a member of the expedition from the University of Connecticut.

Hail Atlantis!

Great story--thanks for posting.

Does this mean that Global Warming thousands of years ago melted the ice caps and glaciers and resulted in indunating the land mass?

This means that the inhabitants fled for their lives to higher ground...and new beachfront property. Oh, the humanity!

a coast that 19,000 years ago extended 100 miles farther into the Gulf of Mexico than it does today

It's Bush's fault!

Very interesting stuff. Thanks for posting the article.

The 24 scientists on board the vessels will use sonar to map an ancient coastline, now about 390 feet below the surface

Global warming is a b****.

Bob Ballard studies the sea floor all over the world, looking for a variety of things. Years ago he searched Loch Ness to see if there was a large creature of some kind. He's best known for his discovery of the Titanic. But this particular study pertains to the inundated former habitation of humans.

Paleo-Indians of the Ice Age 2000 is a multi-phased program to locate ancient shorelines of the last Ice Age when paleo-indian populations were living and hunting on this now submerged landmass. During Phase I of the project, the Navy's research submarine NR-1 was used to survey portions of the Hudson Shelf and Canyon off western Long Island.

Surprisingly, little bottom-trawling activity was observed and water visibility was good to excellent, averaging 20 feet. Several large geologic regions were examined and documented, including the delineation of an ancient shoreline characterized by thick deposits of broken sea shells. Because NR-1 cannot operate in water depths of less than 155 feet, the submarine was unable to explore major portions of the flood plain where numerous woolly mammoth and mastodon teeth have been recovered. We are grateful to the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center for its partnership and support.
