The dry summer shrank a lake in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley, revealing ancient Mi'kmaw artifacts and starting a conversation about how to best preserve such finds. Aaron Taylor, an archeologist, has seen both recent finds — a point likely prepared for a spear and an arrowhead. Both recent finds were likely made and used about 1,500 years ago, he said, as the material came from a quarry Mi'kmaw people used around that time. The point was found about 100 kilometres from the quarry, showing the long-distance trade routes Mi'kmaw people used, he said. This Mi'kmaw arrowhead was created and used about 1,500 years ago.
