An archaeological survey to make way for construction has unearthed a trove of 10,000-year-old stone tools in western Washington. More than 4,000 stone flakes, scrapers, awls and spear points were found, dating back to a time when its inhabitants roamed the same lands as shaggy-haired mammoths and prehistoric bison.
