Archeologists are on the hunt along Nova Scotia's coastline for old Mi'kmaq sites, part of an effort to preserve artifacts that date back thousands of years before waves and tides wash them into the sea.
Archeologist Matthew Betts, from the Canadian Museum of History, is working with Acadia First Nation in southwestern Nova Scotia to uncover and document sites where First Nations people once lived.
