The Cardy family of Door County, Wis., is transferring ownership of property that contains 11,000-year-old artifacts to the non-profit Archaeological Conservancy.
According to a story by WBAY in Green Bay:
"Archaeologists call the Cardy Camp on the southeastern edge of Sturgeon Bay the most important archaeological site of its era in Wisconsin.
"Scientists say it was a hunting camp on the edge of a glacier at the end of the last Ice Age. Spear points, other stone tools, and the remains of a fire pit of a paleo-Indian culture have been discovered."
The conservancy plans to preserve and restore the find.
