Hunting site: Proposed game drive lanes of stone. The Apena-Amberly ridge is a 16 km wide outcrop of limestone and dolomite that formed a dry land corridor 9800 to 7000 years ago, dividing the modern Lake Huron basin into two distinct lakes. It linked what is now northeast lower Michigan with southwest Ontario. It is hypothesized that during this period of low lake levels the 160 km long ridge would have provided a natural migration route of caribou which would have in turn been exploited by ancient hunters.
Note: An update on this site: "Chipped stone debris for repairing stone tools, now provide unambiguous evidence for intentional human construction and use..." of underwater structure.
