Yes...At the height of the last ice age the sea level was almost 400 feet lower than today.

On the mid-Atlantic coast, Native Americans almost certainly lived along the shores of Norfolk Canyon (then an estuary) far out on the continental shelf.

I have seen the tree stumps far out in the surf off the Va.-Carolina line... after a storm the sand is swept away exposing the old forest. Marl (a soft gray mud) is exposed with plant stems and roots.
