Sheguiandah

Sheguiandah is a notable Paleo-Indian archaeological site on the northeastern shore of Manitoulin Island, Manitoulin District, Ontario. It was originally discovered in 1951 by Thomas E. Lee, who estimated an occupation date of about 30 000 years BP. Later, Peter L. Storck examined Lee's work at the site with the assistance of a geologist and gave a more conservative estimate, but said that more research needed to be done.

The site was almost certainly occupied 9 500 years BP by Paleo-Indians, making it significant in North American archaeology.
