Video Background: The Great Lakes of North America were once at much lower water levels, and during these times, people, plants, and animals inhabited shorelines that are now submerged. Underwater archaeological research has revealed that 9,000 years ago people were hunting animals and using stone tools on the Alpena-Amberley Ridge, a feature that now lies 100 feet beneath the waves of Lake Huron.
