New Old Rock Carving Discovered
Anthropologists unearthed a 5,000-year-old rock carving in Kenora, Ontario, Canada, on the shore of Clearwater Bay at the Lake of the Woods, a professor at the University of Winnepeg said. Jack Steinburg claimed the carving, or petroglyph, is the oldest scientifically-dated sample in North America. Scientists were able to date the carving by the age of the soil which covered the rock, he told reporters. The carving, which depicts a buffalo, was made by the predecessors of today's Algonkian-speaking Indians and could shed new light on man's development in Northwestern Ontario. "He (the carver) may have wanted to hunt buffalo and have success in his hunt,'' Steinberg said.
