>
> **Abstract*:*
>
> During the late glacial formation period of the modern Great Lakes, 
> the Lake Stanley low water stage (10,000-7,500 BP) represents a period 
> whose physical evidence has remained lost beneath modern lake levels. 
> In particular, during the late Lake Stanley stage of Great Lakes 
> history, much of the water that presently fills the Lake 
> Huron-Michigan basin was locked in a retreating ice sheet located in 
> the vicinity of what is now Lake Superior. During this low lake level 
> stage, water levels were as much as 80 meters below modern levels. At 
> these lake levels, what we now call the Alpena-Amberley Ridge, present 
> day Lake Huron was separated into the Manitoulin and Goderich Basins. 
> This rough, narrow, and irregular and continuous rock ridge persisted, 
> exposed for approximately 2000 years. With persisting glacial retreat, 
> the basins filled with melt water, drainage pathways were altered, and 
> the Alpena-Amberley ridge was inundated, and to present time, never 
> re-exposed.
>
> Recent exploration of this region of Lake Huron by O'Shea and Meadows 
> (2009) has revealed the existence of a series of stone features that 
> match in form and location hunting structures used for caribou hunting 
> in both prehistoric and ethnographic times. These discoveries 
> represent the first evidence for early hunters on the Alpena-Amberley 
> corridor, and raise the possibility that intact settlements and 
> ancient landscapes are preserved beneath Lake Huron. The existence of 
> these preserved landscapes raise many interesting questions concerning 
> the physical dynamics in operation though this time period and during 
> the subsequent filling of the basins to modern lake levels.
