Rare 3,800-year-old waterlogged archaeological site with ancient organic artefacts uncovered in K’ómoks territory, British Colombia. Many mudflats on tidal estuaries of the Johnstone Strait have evidence of wood and stone fish traps and clam gardens which were originally built up to 1700 years old. Wooden stakes, shaped by stone tools, were driven into the mudflats to form short stockade-like traps to catch fish as the tide went out. Radiocarbon dating indicates the same basic structures have been built and used up into historic times.
