Ken,
good call. Pot aux Choix is the kind of site I've been looking for.

Was Diamond's Why Sex is Fun anything like Monty python's Sex is Better Than
logic But I can't Prove it.

>I'm not sure that this is always true.  I vacationed in Newfoundland this
summer.
On the west coast, at Port aux Choix is a site that has been inhabited for
about 8000
years by at least four different indigenous groups.  As the ice age ended,
the glaciers receded
and the land, which had been compressed by the ice, rose.  As a result, the
coastal villages are high
and dry and available for archeological investigation.

I have read two other books by Diamond - The Third Chimpanzee and Why Sex is
Fun.  Both terrific.
