Abstract:
Twenty-two Indian dugout canoes have been found in Lake Phelps. They range in size from twenty-four to thirty-seven feet. Radio-carbon dating places two of the canoes around 3,000 years old. Lake Phelps water has a preservative quality. The water is acidic and lacks the bacteria and aquatic life which eventually destroys wood.
