‘Oldest canoe’ found
A team from ANU and the National Museum of Australia has unearthed an ancient log canoe, which is possibly the oldest remaining log canoe in Southeast Asia. The canoe, which dates back to 100BC, was excavated at a site 50km southeast of Hanoi in Vietnam and contained an adult body covered by a shroud and surrounded by pottery, a lacquer bowl and prehistoric matting.
