Gators aside, that's looking like a great place to spot predators coming (and I feel comfortable laying aside gators since you're laying aside sharks) The waters edge is always productive, more so on fresh water, since you're looking at edible plants as well as seafood (sorely lacking on the beach).
Like I said, it's a good hunch, and it's entirely likely that we will find something as we get better at sifting through submerged sites, but pinning that something down to specifics without the evidence is hand as though it were inevitable...well...
Ah, speaking of, they found a nice big fat abandoned village under two or three feet of water across the highway where I grew up. They never even imagined that it was there until a decade of drought dropped the lakes levels. So I'm not trying to imply that it doesn't happen, or that it's far fetched, only urging a little caution.
