Not to undervalue the find, but I was a little disappointed after reading the article.
It doesn't seem that anything new or interesting was found.

I have native artifacts of similar age sitting on my computer desk. These things, while cool, are common.

Edit: went back and read more, came across this:

“We don’t really know what it is.. It could represent the remains of a structure. It almost suggests you might have the remains of a house.”

Hmm. A long house like native object. Similar I assume to a native longhouse? I wonder what it could have been? <- a whole lot of sarcasm there.
I think the writer was trying to punch up the article to make it seem bigger than it is. Still interesting, just not new.

Yeah, more a local story than anything, I think. New development runs into old camp kinda deal. It does sound like they found quite a nice settlement though.
