Canoe Tossed Ashore By Hurricane Irma May Date Back To 17th Century

Description

A canoe that washed ashore in the banks of the Indian River in central Florida on Sept. 16 following Hurricane Irma may be older than the United States itself, new carbon dating results show. The initial discovery of the canoe garnered attention from both the public and archaeologists because it looked to be a relic. Archaeologists are analyzing the canoe further to determine whether it had ties to local native tribes. Florida’s Bureau of Archaeological Research will run additional tests on the canoe before transporting it to its conservation lab in Tallahassee, where it will be put on display.
