General Note

Accompanying note: "The Lake Munson Canoe (8LE5785) was exposed during a recent draw down of the lake. It is a prehistoric dugout canoe approximately 500 to 800 years old. It was made from a pine or cypress hollowed out by prehistoric inhabitants of the Fort Walton cultural period (1000 AD to 1450 AD) using fire and stone tools. Exhibiting a platform on either end, it is incredibly well preserved."

"BAR [Florida Bureau of Archaeological Research], FPAN [Florida Public Archaeology Network] and Panhandle Archaeological Society at Tallahassee (PAST) members work in unison to carry the water-logged canoe to dry land using carefully positioned straps suspended by wooden boards."
