3,000-year-old canoe recovered from Lake Mendota in Madison; second ancient canoe to be found

A 3,000-year-old dugout canoe was recovered from Lake Mendota in Madison on Thursday, less than one year after a 1,200-year-old canoe was discovered in the same lake. Wisconsin Historical Society maritime archaeologists and partners from Wisconsin's Native Nations recovered the canoe, which dates back to 1000 B.C. This makes the canoe the oldest ever discovered in the Great Lakes region by nearly 1,000 years. https://www.tmj4.com/news/local-news/3-000-year-old-canoe-recovered-from-lake-mendota-in-madison-second-ancient-canoe-to-be-found
