Submission statement:

The article talks about how sunken landscapes, such as springs, lakes, and rivers, hold clues about the daily lives, beliefs, and diets of the first humans to inhabit North America. The article explores the work of researchers and archaeologists who are using new technologies to study these submerged prehistoric environments and how this research is expanding our understanding of early American history.

Well obviously. The sea level has risen nearly 150 metres since they colonized Beringia.

It looks like you received answers on your original post but just didn't like them.

Like them? Im simply looking for an actual expert(s) not random comments from the internet. I think most those answers are plausible.

You received multiple answers from archaeologists. You could DM them to follow up and verify.

I mean, I wouldn’t just take a reddit comment’s word for it, even if they did say they were a geologist. There’s value in meeting someone face to face or having an offline conversation with them. Reddit is a fine place to start, but that’s about it

Totally agree. Hence the "Dm them to follow up and verify"

I’m sorry, I discounted that because I didn’t think beyond the DM. Like, if you DM them, you are still on reddit… but following up via email or phone as a consequence of the DM didn’t occur to me until you responded

You solicited random comments on the internet and that's what ya got. I'd email a museum or university for a specific person's opinion, not post to Reddit

Ignore the haters, that's obviously cuneiform, a child can see that.

The foremost expert on geology in that area is Dr. Bill Cannon from the US Geological Survey.

I would take that to state college geology or archaeology department and try to catch a professor’s office hours!

A fascinating read. Thanks for posting, OP. I wonder what will eventually turn up in the now-submerged former coastal plains of California.
