WOOD IDENTIFICATION AND AMS RADIOCARBON DATING OF A POSSIBLE CANOE FRAGMENT FROM EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA

Author(s): Peter Kováčik; Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2014

Summary

A hollowed out log, possibly representing a canoe, was recovered from a brackish environment within Everglades National Park, Monroe County, Florida. The log was continuously exposed to a marine environment since deposition (Andreas Diaz, personal communication August 28, 2014). This isolated find measures approximately 9 meters by .5 meters and, though broken in one location, appears to represent a single artifact (Andreas Diaz, personal communication September 2, 2014). A portion of the log was submitted for botanic identification and AMS radiocarbon dating.
