Second ancient canoe – this one 3,000 years old – found in Wisconsin lake

Discovery made by same archaeologist less than a year after finding another historical canoe in the same body of water

A 3,000-year-old canoe has been found in Lake Mendota in Madison, Wisconsin, less than a year after another historical canoe dating back more than a millennium was discovered in the same body of water.

An archaeologist found the artifact in pieces before it was recovered from the lake last Thursday in collaboration with Wisconsin's Native Nations, a press release from the Wisconsin Historical Society said.
