From CBC New Brunswick:
Archaeologists say a campsite unearthed just metres from a new highway in Fredericton could be more than 12,000 years old.
The campsite held 600 artifacts, most of which were from tool making, as well as a fire pit containing ancient charcoal.
"It's very, very rare to find a campfire from 12,000 years ago, intact like this," said Brent Suttie, the provincial archaeologist, who is leading a team of 22 technicians on site.
...
Transportation Minister Bill Fraser visited the dig site and called the site "significant."
"This is very important to the people of New Brunswick," said Fraser. "And we will see that it is protected."
