A prehistoric stone tool has been discovered after an Alaskan landslide brought it to the surface.
A devastating landslide near Sitka last year has produced an interesting discovery — evidence of early human occupation.
Against unbelievable odds, a pair of Forest Service hydrologists mapping the Starrigavan slide found a curiously-shaped rock amid the thousands of tons of rubble. They recognized it instantly as a prehistoric stone tool.
Some finds in archeology are made through careful research and painstaking excavation. But some finds are just an unbelievable stroke of luck.
