Canada
Strange that stories from countries seem to come in twos, but there you go.
This time the oldest archaeological finds in Canada have been revealed.
Under the sea, 120 metres down in Haida Gwaii, evidence of human occupation stretching back 13,800 years has been found at the bottom of the ocean. The area was above sea level during the last ice age but as sea levels rose the area was flooded. Now archaeologists have found evidence that the occupants used rocks to direct fish along the river in a favourable direction, known as a fishing weir.
I wonder if they got the idea by watching bears catching salmon?
