If the lake bed was a gouge out by an ice sheet, it would have filled up with water as the ice melted. Would it ever have been empty enough for humans to do anything in it?
Also, Cairns. I wonder if those are a hint at the prehistoric existence of Karens? Pronounced nearly the same.
I wonder if large piles of stacked rocks are called cairns because Karen’s yelled at people until the rocks got stacked?
I forget (I’ve been reading a lot the past couple of days) but these probably got attributed to a “ceremonial purpose”. Archaeologists of the distant future will have the same impression when they find lawn dwarfs and flamingos near the ruins of a house.
The dating was made possible by the wood recovered from under one of the cairns.
