Indians lived 6,000 to 10,000 years ago on the exposed continental shelf before it was inundated by water from melting glaciers

You mean to tell me we've had global warming for the last 10,000 years? Why aren't we dead yet?

They'll be either plumb lucky or extremely inspired to find a site that isn't silted so deep they can find anything over 100-200 years old. They will have to go out where it's 200 feet deep to go back to Ice Age stuff. Most of the rise in sea level took place right at the end of the Ice Age.

Not a bad timeline for the Biblical Flood....

If it's anything like the shelf off Bradley Beach, New Jersey, she may expect to find a tennis shoe, 8 hypodermic needles, a staph infection, and two weighted cadavers. None of this will be more ancient, however, than 1950 CE.

Interesting.

Atlantis??

"Finding Gero-Nemo"?

[Eva]

Prehistoric coastal Indians would have used shell and stones for utensils, so what does she expect to find?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

If she does find the artifacts, the next logical step is to slap up a few oil-rig platforms and put casinos out there!

Dr Ballard of "Titanic" fame taught at Texas A&M and published a book about his undersea archeological techniques which he developed during a "dig" off an island by Asia Minor, (southern Turkey), where many ancient trade routes came together.

His techniques included setting a grid and using photo techniques similar to Air Force reconnasaince. He discovered many ships in this area including a pre iron age ship as well as ships from every major era, Roman, Phonecian, Minoan, and Greek. Ballard also did some deep Mediterranean photo shoots and found some Roman ships that plied the waters between Marseilles and North Africa.

Today, Ballard is plumbing the Black Sea Coastline in search of the evidence for the Biblical Flood.

As for the Jersey shoreline, there is much to offer. Myself, I'd rather search the depths of Maruca's Pizzeria at Sea Side Heights!

Fascinating. I hope they find more artifacts.

History is the story of us, the human race. Stories don't get better than that.

Old topic, with a new ping, because the original ping only went to five or six. :') And this was never added to the keyword.

".... on the exposed continental shelf before it was inundated by water from melting glaciers."

All of which started melting only in the last few decades when the United States started global warming.

North America was so much better when the Indians were living deep in the stone age and never saw a wheel until Columbus arrived.
