Archaeologists exploring a windy bluff on the southern Oregon coast have found evidence of people in the area about 10,000 years ago, making it the second oldest such site on the state's shoreline.

Remnants of a stone hearth, chunks of charcoal and stone flakes were discovered in the small excavation in the Bandon State Natural Area just south of Bandon."
