The remains of a 4,000-year-old floored structure has been found in northeastern Ohio.
“There’s nothing like this anywhere in Ohio. It’s very significant, a much more significant site than we previously thought,” Redmond said. “These are house structures. This was like a village site.”
The builders lived in what archaeologists classify as the Late Archaic period in North America, so far back that they don’t have a tribal name.
“We have no idea what they called themselves or what language they spoke,” Redmond said. “The only reason we know anything about them is archaeology.”
