FREDERICTON, CANADA—A campsite estimated to be around 12,000 years old has been unearthed near a highway in the province of New Brunswick. Provincial archaeologist Brent Suttie said in a CBC News report that an intact campfire and 600 artifacts, mostly stone tools and flakes, have been recovered. Additional evidence suggests that the campsite was situated on the shores of a large glacial lake. The site’s age is within 500 years of the oldest evidence of human occupation found in the region.
