Scientists Find Sign of 14000-Year-Old Settlement in Canada?

in #news7 years ago

The ocean is the new frontier for search and discovery. Well... maybe not the "new frontier" per se, but it is definitely a growing market, faster than the privatization of space travel and discovery. It's always nice to see new remotely operated vehicles and autonomous vehicles being developed by by private and public markets, spreading the ability to search the ocean on a commercial, military, academic, and hobbyist level.

University of Victoria (UVic) mechanical engineer Alison Proctor and her department’s 3.5-metre long, Bluefin Robotics AUV, and supported by a Parks Canada research vessel and crew, may have made one of the oldest archaeological finds in Canada.
Dr. Quentin Mackie and Alison Proctor just returned this month from a 10-day research trip to Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, at the southern end of the Haida Gwaii archipelago, a marine and terrestrial protected area managed cooperatively by the Government of Canada and the Haida Nation, and the site of most of Mackie’s life’s work.
