Ancient Shores by Jack McDevitt
3.0
It should have been good. It started well, the finding of the boat. The roundhouse...but. It's very America is the centre of the world.
And the US govt says oh ok and leaves.
No other country on the planet takes any notice, no-one else even asks to join in and investigate the places.
McDevitt has the tribe decide on an incredibly selfish and ridiculous course of action by...in book 2, doing bugger all.
I guess he is a typical Old White US man and it shows in this book...Which is actually better than the total boring joke the sequel is.
Spoiler
One tribe of American Indians in One part of the country take ownership not only of the teleportation device but the worlds at the other end. A bunch of science fiction writers mainly (seriously?!) camp pout to prevent the US army taking it over - and laughably succeed by just sitting there.And the US govt says oh ok and leaves.
