The tidal fish trap, or stone weir, was found in Shakan Bay off the coast of Alaska and suggests native people lived in the area over 11,000 years ago, scientists said.
Dr. Kelly Monteleone (co-PI), an archaeologist at the University of Calgary, said the fish trap, or stone weir, is believed to be at least 11,100 years old based on sea level reconstruction.
However, she said the ancient trap may be even older.
