Ancient toolmakers plied craft near Niagara Falls
An ancient campsite where people were manufacturing tools has been discovered near the Niagara Falls.This find, combined with other archaeological discoveries in the area over the past few decades, suggests that such campsites lined the Niagara River as far back as 4,000 years ago.
So far, the team has unearthed more than 20,000 artifacts, mostly bits of rock broken off when people were creating stone tools, on the southeastern tip of Grand Island New York, about 12 miles upstream from Niagara Falls. The earliest artifacts at the site open a window on a time when people were living a nomadic lifestyle based on hunting, fishing and gathering plants.
