The Discovering the Submerged Prehistory of the Alpena-Amberley Ridge in Central Lake Huron expedition included mapping the Alpena-Amberley Ridge within Lake Huron to identify potential archaeological or paleoenvironmental sites for further investigation with a remotely operated vehicle and divers in order to create a virtual reality reconstruction of the area when it was dryland and occupied by early humans.
One important find made already as part of the expedition was an extensive deposit of preserved peat along the Alpena-Amberley Ridge. In this image, diver Tyler Schultz collects a sample of the peat.
