LAKE GEORGE - Archaeologists have uncovered 10,000-year-old Native
American artifacts near a popular state-owned beach in the southern
Adirondacks, making it among the earliest known occupied sites in New
York state, officials announced Thursday.

The archaeological dig conducted ahead of a $3 million improvement
project at Million Dollar Beach on Lake George has turned up thousands
arrowheads, pieces of stone tools and other artifacts dating back to
about 8,000 B.C., said Christina Rieth, the state's head
archaeologist.
