They Were Probably Singing Camp Songs While Drafting A Human Rights Petition

[AOL] An archeological dig at the site of the future Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg has unearthed a rare find: a footprint estimated to be 800 years old.

…

It’s not clear if the footprint was made by a man or a woman, but it was probably left in the mud around 1200 A.D., Kroeker said. Pieces of pottery and fish remains were found underneath it, he said.

The area appears to have been a popular campsite around the time the footprint was left, he said.

“Somebody was camped there, a group of people. By the style of pottery, they were from eastern Manitoba. But they were also being visited by another style of pottery, people from western Manitoba,” he said.

“The two groups were sitting there, probably fishing because bison and venison are very lean meats so you need the fat from catfish to round out your diet.”

The rest.
