威斯康星州湖中发现约千年历史独木舟
考古人员在威斯康星州皮沃基湖中发现了一艘约有1000年历史的独木舟。据《史密森尼》杂志10月6日报道，这艘由整根原木凿刻而成的独木舟保存状况良好，专家初步判断其制作年代可追溯至约公元1000年前后。独木舟是北美原住民重要的水上交通工具，这一发现为研究该地区早期原住民的生活方式与迁徙路线提供了珍贵实物证据。当地历史学会表示，独木舟将被打捞上岸并进行防腐保护处理，未来有望在博物馆向公众展出。近年来威斯康星州湖泊中已多次发现古代独木舟，显示该地区水运历史悠久。
1,000-Year-Old Dugout Canoe Discovered in Wisconsin Lake
Archaeologists have discovered a roughly 1,000-year-old dugout canoe in Pewaukee Lake, Wisconsin. According to Smithsonian magazine on October 6, the canoe — carved from a single log — is remarkably well preserved, with experts dating it to around 1,000 years ago. Dugout canoes were vital watercraft for Native Americans, and the find offers valuable physical evidence for studying early Indigenous life and migration routes in the region. The local historical society said the canoe will be recovered and preserved, with hopes of displaying it in a museum. Several ancient canoes have been found in Wisconsin lakes in recent years, underscoring the area's long history of water travel.
